A CUSTOM TATTOO STUDIO IN HAUZ KHAS VILLAGE, DELHI
Inkspace Tattoo Studio is a small, appointment-only tattoo studio in Hauz Khas Village, South Delhi, founded in 2017 by Chetan Salhotra, who has been tattooing since 2006. We design every tattoo from scratch for the client — no flash walls, no traced designs, one client at a time in a quiet studio.
Tattoo styles we're known for
Our residents specialise in fine line tattoos, realism, black & grey, minimal and considered cover-up work. Browse the full Inkspace portfolio to see healed work across each style.
The custom design process
Every commission starts with a conversation about reference, placement, size and how the piece should age. Your artist drafts a custom design, we refine it together, and only then do we book the tattoo session. Nothing is tattooed the same day as the first consultation.
Hygiene & safety standards
Single-use sterile needles, hospital-grade barrier film on every touchable surface, autoclaved reusable equipment and disposable ink caps — the medical-grade standard we've held since day one. Read the Inkspace aftercare guide for what happens after your session.
Meet the artists
Inkspace is a small resident team led by our tattoo artists in Delhi, each with a distinct specialisation. If you're weighing which artist fits your idea, our tattoo journal covers style, healing and cost in plain language.

TATTOO QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
The real questions we get every week at the studio — cost, pain, healing, cover-ups and booking. For the full list see the Inkspace tattoo FAQ.
Where is Inkspace Tattoo Studio located in Delhi?
Inkspace Tattoo Studio is at 13-A, 1st Floor, Space Gully, Hauz Khas Village, New Delhi 110016 — a quiet appointment-only studio in South Delhi, a short walk from Hauz Khas metro station and easy to reach from Gurugram and Noida.
How does the tattoo consultation process work?
Every custom tattoo starts with a WhatsApp or in-studio consultation. We discuss reference, placement, size, healing and long-term wearability, then send a design brief and quote before booking a session. Nothing is tattooed the same day as the first consultation.
How long does a tattoo session take?
Small fine line or minimal tattoos take 45–90 minutes. Medium black & grey or realism pieces take 3–5 hours. Larger custom sleeves and back pieces are split across multiple sessions spaced roughly 4–6 weeks apart to protect line quality and pigment retention.
How much does a tattoo cost at Inkspace in Delhi?
Pricing depends on size, detail, placement and session count. Small custom pieces typically start around ₹4,000; larger black & grey, realism or cover-up work is quoted by session after the consultation. We share a written quote before booking.
What tattoo styles does Inkspace specialise in?
We specialise in fine line, realism, black & grey, cover-up, custom and minimal tattoos. Every piece is drawn from scratch for the client — we do not run flash walls or copy other artists' work.
How should I prepare for a tattoo appointment?
Sleep well, eat before you arrive, drink water, and avoid alcohol or blood thinners for 24 hours. Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the placement. Follow the aftercare plan we send after your session for the best healing.
Can Inkspace cover up an existing tattoo?
Yes — cover-ups are one of our specialities. We plan the new design so the old ink disappears under considered linework and value. Some heavily saturated tattoos need 2–4 laser sessions first; we tell you honestly at consultation whether a direct cover-up is possible.
Is Inkspace a hygienic tattoo studio?
Yes. Inkspace uses single-use sterile needles, hospital-grade barrier film on every surface a client touches, autoclaved reusable equipment and disposable ink caps. The studio has held the same medical-grade hygiene standard since 2017.
