Every tattoo I make starts as a sketch—sometimes a quick line on paper, sometimes a layered digital illustration on my iPad. But not every design ends up on someone’s skin. Some find a different home—on laptops, journals, water bottles, mirrors… anywhere you want to carry a piece of art.
That’s where the idea of Morphology stickers came from.
I didn’t plan to make merch. It just happened because the art wanted to go somewhere else. This blog is a little behind-the-scenes look at how my designs go from screen to sticker—and why these tiny pieces matter as much as the big tattoos.

1. It All Starts in the Sketchbook (or iPad)
Like most tattoo artists, I have way more sketches than I’ll ever tattoo.
Some are one-line doodles. Others are refined and layered. Some I create while prepping for a tattoo appointment. Others are just… for me.
A lot of these pieces sit in my iPad files for months until one day, I scroll back and think, “This would look really cool as a sticker.” That’s the start of the drop.

2. Not All Art Needs to Be Tattooed
I truly believe not every design needs to go on skin to be meaningful.
Some things are better suited for everyday spaces—your laptop, your journal, your desk drawer.
That’s what I love about stickers.
They’re art you can take anywhere, without the commitment of ink.
Plus, not everyone is ready for a tattoo—and that’s okay. Stickers are a way to still own a part of what we create here at Morphology Tattoo Studio in Galleria Market, Gurugram.

3. From File to Finish: The Making Process
Once I pick the designs, I refine them—clean lines, define colors, and export everything in print-ready format.
Then I send them off to get professionally printed on waterproof, scratch-resistant vinyl.
I test every sample. (Yes, I stick them on my own stuff first.)
And only when I’m happy with the quality do I bring them into the studio.

4. Why I Love Making Sticker Drops
It’s honestly fun.
It brings my art outside of the tattoo world and into everyday moments.
I’ve seen people use them on phone cases, skateboards, even gift packaging.
Some people collect every drop. Some just fall in love with one and keep it close.
Either way—it means something. And for an artist, that’s the best feeling.

5. The Studio Shelf Is Always Changing
If you’ve been to the studio recently, you’ve probably seen the sticker shelf near the entrance.
It’s where new drops quietly appear—no big promo, no loud announcement.
If you know, you know.
Each batch is limited, and I rarely reprint designs. So if you vibe with one—grab it before it’s gone.

Final Thoughts
Not all tattoos get inked.
Some live on paper. Some stay on the iPad.
And some find their way to your laptop, where they make just as much of a mark.
The next time you come to Morphology Tattoo Studio in Galleria Market, check out the sticker shelf.
You might just find a little piece of art waiting for you.
