SHIVA RUDRA AVATAR by BALOR in Mumbai

"Hello everyone! I’m a Mumbai-based graffiti and tattoo artist. The journey’s been quite something. To give you a little context — since school, I’ve always loved drawing, sketching, painting… and yeah, Maths too! I did my Bachelor’s in Computer Science and even worked in the corporate world for a while. But soon, I realized that if I stayed there, I’d lose my artistic side — so I quit. Later, I learned tattooing at one of the most respected studios in Bandra. During that phase, I discovered my love for graffiti, murals, and other forms of street art. That’s when I started creating with my boys — and together, we’ve done some amazing projects. Over time, I also developed an interest in videography — because being in the tattoo and mural world, you’ve got to show your art, your vibe, your story. Social media is part of the game now. There’s no particular inspiration behind all this — the only goal is to keep creating great art, learn from every piece, and never stop growing. Thank you — and keep creating."
