Tezen Shrestha, fell in love with art since his childhood.

And now he is a tattoo artist at KTM Ink.

Shrestha says, “After completing my school, I made a handmade machine and started tattooing on my friends. I knew then it was something I wanted to do in the future.

“In 2010, I opened my own studio and hired a tattoo artist for further guidance.”, Shrestha says.

 It’s been 10 years since Shrestha had started his journey as a tattoo artist but he says there is always more to learn.

However in the society, people with tattoos or tattoo artists are called drug addicts or even gangsters.
