OldSkool Tattoo
About Us
The story behind the studio — our people, our philosophy, and why we've done things differently since 2014.
Our Story
Where Art
Lives on Skin
"I didn't want to open another tattoo shop. I wanted to open a place where people could trust that what they walked out with was genuinely theirs — a piece of art, not a product."
OldSkool Tattoo was founded in 2014 in New Delhi by master tattooist Mowaim Chakraborty, who built the studio around fearless design, precise execution, and a love for timeless tattoo culture. What began as an intimate custom studio has grown into a destination for clients seeking bold, character-rich work.
Every artist at OldSkool Tattoo is chosen for both technical mastery and a distinct artistic voice. We believe that when you sit in our chair, you deserve an artist who treats your skin like a lifelong canvas and your idea like it truly matters.
Why OldSkool
The Standard
We Set
Award-Winning Artists
Our collective has been recognised at London Tattoo Convention, Amsterdam Ink Fest, and featured in Skin Deep Magazine three years running.
Custom-First Philosophy
We never use flash designs. Every piece begins with a consultation — your body, your story, your artwork. Nothing is replicated.
Clinical Sterility Standards
Autoclave-sterilised environments, single-use needles, medical-grade surfaces. We exceed industry standards as a baseline, not a benchmark.
Premium Equipment
From Cheyenne Hawk machines to Eternal Ink pigments — we invest in the finest tools so you experience less trauma and superior results.

The Process
How It Works
Three steps from first conversation to finished piece. No surprises, no pressure.
Consult
Tell us your idea — a reference, a feeling, a rough sketch on a napkin. We'll listen, ask the right questions, and figure out exactly what you want. No judgement, no upsells.
Design
Your artist drafts a custom piece built around your body, your idea, and their expertise. We refine until it's exactly right. You approve every line before a needle touches skin.
Ink
Session day. Sterile setup, premium pigments, and an artist who's as focused on your comfort as they are on the work. We'll walk you through aftercare so your piece heals perfectly.
The Team
Master Artists
Our artists bring years of mastery, diverse specialisms, and an unrelenting passion for the craft.
Blackwork · Ornamental
Mowaim "Mo" Chakraborty
Founder of OldSkool Tattoo, Mowaim blends bold blackwork, ornamental detailing, and a confident feminine edge into pieces that feel classic, powerful, and deeply personal.
Fine Line · Realism
Ren Nakamura
Precision and delicacy define Ren's approach. Specialising in ultra-fine linework and photorealistic portraiture that defies belief.
Neo-Traditional · Colour
Luca Ferretti
A love of Renaissance art and street culture collide in Luca's bold, saturated neo-traditional compositions. Each piece is a study in drama and colour theory.
