With 25 artists specialising in different styles, Devil’z Tattooz isn’t just a tattoo studio — it’s the Indian success story every ink-lover talks about. Founded and led by Lokesh Verma, the chain has quietly built a reputation for top-tier artistry, international credibility and festival-level influence in the tattoo world. 
Here’s why Devil’z Tattooz deserves the title of India’s ultimate tattoo destination.

1. A founder with global credentials (and a Guinness story)

Lokesh Verma’s rise from street-level hustle to international tattoo stages is central to the studio’s reputation. Over the years, he has worked and taught internationally, inked celebrities and been involved in projects recognised by Guinness World Records, most notably the high-profile flags tattoo project connected to Guinness World Records ' Rishi’s world-record body-tattoo project. For the official Guinness World Records record for “most flags tattooed on the body”, see Guinness World Records.
Profiles of Lokesh and Devil’z note his team’s involvement in that record project and list his Guinness-project credentials among his career highlights.

2. International recognition — featured alongside the world’s best

Devil’z Tattooz has been recognised outside India as a must-visit studio. Inked Magazine — one of the tattoo world’s most visible outlets — included Devil’z in its “Tattoo Destinations You Can’t Miss: Iconic Studios Around the Globe,” placing the studio among iconic international shops. That kind of placement signals that Devil’z doesn’t just compete in India; it’s considered part of the global tattoo conversation.

3. A true global footprint — Luxembourg and beyond

Unlike most Indian studios, Devil’z expanded into Europe, with a flagship location in Luxembourg, underscoring the brand’s international presence and operational standards. The studio’s Luxembourg site and press coverage document the chain’s transcontinental expansion and how the brand now operates both in India and Europe.

4. Google, GQ and the press: consistent media praise

Devil’z and Lokesh Verma have been repeatedly singled out by major outlets. India Today and other profiles note Lokesh’s inclusion in lists such as “Top 20 best tattoo artists in the world” by Google, which circulate online (a recognition that helped boost his global visibility).
GQ India included Devil’z Tattooz in a curated list of tattoo parlours to visit, and solid national press coverage that helped position the studio as a high-quality, celebrity-trusted brand.

5. Industry contributions — education, festivals, standards

Devil’z is more than a shop; it’s a contributor to the industry ecosystem in India:
Lokesh co-founded and curated the HeartWork Tattoo Festival — described as India’s international tattoo festival — bringing global artists and learning opportunities to Indian audiences, where he did a full back piece in one day with tattoo maestro Paul Booth from NYC, USA. He has brought Global tattoo legends like Steve Butcher, Jeff Gogue, Anil Gupta, Andy Shou, David Vega and many more to the Indian tattoo stage.
He has been the 1st Asian artist to be invited to teach and lecture internationally, including at Italy’s tattoo university (Academia Tie Polo), positioning the studio as an authority in tattoo education and technique.

6. Celebrity and high-profile clientele

Devil’z Tattooz’s portfolio includes Bollywood and sports personalities — coverage cites clients such as Tapsee Pannu, Swara Bhaskar, Esha Gupta, Richa Chaddha, Remo D'Souza and cricketers including Shikhar Dhawan, Umesh Yadav and Ishant Sharma. That celebrity trust helps reassure first-time clients that the studio can handle both delicate portrait work and high-visibility commissions.

7. Pioneers of innovation

Devil'z Tattooz is the 1st tattoo studio in India to introduce tech in tattooing by bringing Soundwave tattoos, a tattoo that plays the voice of your loved ones when scanned with a phone camera. They're also the first ones to do Picolaser tattoo removals, UV tattoos, Coloured portrait tattoos, Micro-realism, Fineline, piercings and introduced many more styles to the Indian tattoo industry.

8. Why clients pick Devil’z: Quality, hygiene and speciality work

Across interviews and press coverage, a few themes show up again and again. Hygiene and safety are non-negotiable at Devil’z, with European-level sterilisation protocols and clinical aftercare that reassure clients who care as much about safety as they do about the final artwork. On the creative side, the studio is especially respected for colour realism and portrait tattoos, two of the most technically demanding styles in the industry, requiring deep mastery of colour theory, precision and skin tone adaptation. Just as important is their focus on education and mentorship. Devil’z actively trains apprentices, conducts workshops and has mentored over 200 students to date, offering a focused 1-on-1 learning model rather than a generic classroom approach. What this really means is that every artist at the studio is constantly sharpening their skills and working to the highest professional standards.

9. Awards, lists and badges — how they add up

Taken together, Devil’z Tattooz’s public recognitions create a solid credibility stack that’s hard to ignore. The studio’s involvement in Guinness-recognised record projects brought widespread media attention and reinforced its global relevance. Internationally, Devil’z has been featured in editorial roundups by Inked Magazine, placing it alongside some of the world’s most respected tattoo studios. Closer home, consistent national press coverage from outlets like India Today and GQ India has helped cement its reputation as a premium, celebrity-trusted brand. Add to this the founding and curation of a signature tattoo festival that brought international artists to India, and it’s clear that Devil’z isn’t just part of the industry—it actively shapes it.

If you want a blend of technical excellence, safety, celebrity-grade artistry and international credibility — plus a studio that actively shapes India’s tattoo conversation through teaching and festivals — Devil’z Tattooz is an easy pick for India’s ultimate tattoo destination. The combination of international branches (including Luxembourg), notable press features, festival leadership, and involvement in Guinness-recognised projects gives the studio both the pedigree and practical chops to back the claim.
