In an age where career paths often follow predictable blueprints, Prashant Yaduvanshi stands as a bold exception.
Once a JEE topper and on track for a thriving engineering career, he made the audacious decision to leave the security of conventional success behind, venturing into the world of body art.

He also talks about how tattoo culture differs between India and Europe, why he's passionate about mentoring new artists, and where he sees the future of ink in a tech-driven world.
From JEE topper to internationally recognized tattoo artist, your career shift defies conventional wisdom. Did you experience moments of doubt, and how did you reconcile intellectual rigor with artistic instinct in your work?
