Raksha Gurung is a kind, impassioned, and ludicrously talented artist. He has been building and building and building a reputation across the tattoo world in Pokhara (and beyond) for the last 15 years.
Raksha, 39, who used to make Paper Canvas has been drawing figures on the skin of people, now stands as a commercial ‘Tattoo Artist’. He spent his childhood in the beautiful village of Ghandruk among the Annapurna Himalayan range. He has over 15 years of professional experience in the art of tattooing and began pursuing professionally from 2011.
Since opening his own studio at lakeside at 2011, he’s one of the most original and exciting Nepali tattoo artists around. Perhaps it’s the pure vibrancy and boldness of colour, of the tick and confident lines… whatever it is, there’s something irresistible to Raksha’s tattoos. For Raksha, since he had always been interested in art, the transition into tattoos came naturally to him as he was gifted to be a tattoo artist with specialization in black and grey and realistic style.
‘I’ve challenged myself as an artist here which helped me boost myself up’
The experience of tattooed guards, which have already been touched in some parts of Asia and Europe, is further illustrated. As a guest artist, he has had similar experiences in Germany, Italy and France. He has already had the opportunity to present his talents in Singapore, Thailand and India.
“It is permanent throughout life, so tattoos should be something special,”
“Tattoo is an original wearable permanent body art for me. it is a culture and a story. it is my passion and art is my life. it make me a happier person. “
There’s nobody else like Raksha. If you’re looking for the best Nepali tattoo artist, Raksha is it.
He leans away from absolute realism in favour of a bright and vibrant interpretation of real-life so if you’re in the mood for a portrait of your favourite fictional character or real-life icon, Raksha has you covered for sure.
