A Decade of Silent Obsession
Shagun is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist and the founder of Shagun Art, whose creative practice moves fluidly between skin, canvas, and every surface that can carry a story.
With over a decade devoted to art, she has built a distinctive practice rooted in discipline, precision, patience, and emotion. Trained in classical drawing and self-taught in machine work, her journey has evolved from studying anatomy and mastering the fundamentals of art to creating work that now travels far beyond the studio.
She is a 4× World Record Holder, has been honoured by the British Army, and has received 100+ awards for her contribution and excellence in art. Her work and artistic journey have been represented through numerous national and international exhibitions, workshops, and creative collaborations.
To date, Shagun has completed 8,000+ artworks, spanning tattoo art, paintings, calligraphy, custom artwork, and other multidisciplinary forms. She has also conducted and participated in 100+ workshops and exhibitions, sharing her knowledge, techniques, and experience with aspiring artists and creative communities.
Beyond her own artistic achievements, Shagun believes that art should create opportunities for others. She actively supports and trains underprivileged, specially-abled, and financially challenged students, helping them develop practical artistic skills and build confidence through creativity.
Her artistic language is versatile yet deeply personal — capable of transforming a lion into intricate dotwork, a memory into oil on canvas, and an emotion into a permanent piece of art.
More Than Art. A Journey.
From skin to canvas, from student to mentor, from local beginnings to international recognition, Shagun's work represents a decade of relentless dedication.

Her philosophy is simple:
Create with purpose. Teach with passion. Leave a mark that matters.
Skin as canvas.
A selection of recent commissions in motion. Each piece begins with a single conversation and ends with a story carried for a lifetime.
“I do not paint subjects. I paint the silence that arrives once they have left the room.”
Words that stayed.
Every commission is a conversation. These are the ones that echoed.
She didn't tattoo me. She listened to me, then drew the listening on my skin.
Sitting with Shagun feels like being read by a quiet, generous stranger.
I have collected art for thirty years. This is the first piece that breathes back.
Begin a conversation.
All commissions begin with a private consultation — in studio or via video. There is no waitlist, only the right time. Most pieces enter the calendar 6–12 weeks after the first conversation.
