Meet Master Artist Pankaj Sharma
At 1920 Tattoo, we take pride in creating timeless body art, blending tradition with innovation. Behind every masterpiece is an artist with a story, passion, and years of dedication. Today, we sit down with our lead artist, Pankaj Sharma, to dive into his journey, inspirations, and what fuels his creativity in the tattoo world.
Q: Pankaj, tell us about your journey into tattooing. How did it all begin?
Pankaj: My journey into tattooing started with my love for art. Since childhood, I was drawn to sketching and painting, always fascinated by the idea of expressing emotions through visuals. I first picked up a tattoo machine over a decade ago, and it instantly felt like an extension of my creativity. What started as curiosity soon became a deep passion, leading me to train under some of the best artists and eventually carve my own path in the industry.
Q: Who or what inspires your tattoo designs?
Pankaj: Inspiration comes from everywhere—history, nature, culture, and personal stories. I love blending elements from traditional Indian art, realism, and neo-traditional styles to create something unique. Every client has a story, and I see it as my responsibility to translate that story into a piece of art that they can wear forever.
Q: How would you describe your tattooing style?
Pankaj: My style is a fusion of realism, black and grey, and intricate linework. I enjoy working on large-scale pieces that tell a deeper story. Whether it’s a detailed portrait, mythological figure, or geometric pattern, I always focus on precision and depth to bring the design to life.
Q: What has been your most memorable tattoo experience so far?
Pankaj: There have been so many! But one that stands out is a full-sleeve tribute tattoo for a client who wanted to honor his late father. We worked together to create a design that incorporated his father’s favorite symbols, a meaningful quote, and a portrait. The moment he saw the finished tattoo, he was in tears—it was emotional for both of us. That’s when I realized how powerful tattooing can be.
Q: What advice would you give to someone getting their first tattoo?
Pankaj: First, do your research—find an artist whose work resonates with you. Second, trust the process—good tattoos take time and patience. And most importantly, choose a design that truly means something to you. A tattoo is a lifetime commitment, so it should be something you’re proud to carry forever.
Q: What’s next for you and 1920 Tattoo?
Pankaj: We’re always evolving! I want to push creative boundaries and explore more hyper-realistic and custom conceptual tattoos. We’re also planning to host workshops to mentor young artists and help grow the tattoo community. At 1920 Tattoo, our goal is to keep delivering world-class body art and make each tattoo a masterpiece.
