Baba Bikas



Baba Bikas started tattooing as a kid in Nepal, in his home town, Hetauda. A youngster, he was already doodling on his friends and family's skin. In Nepal, tattooing is an old tradition, and he took his first needles to tattoo the neighborrood.
After a while in the fashion business, Bikas decided that he needed more art in his life. He chose the tattoo life.


In 2005, he opened Grasshopper Studio, in Thamel.
In 2009, he opens Funky Buddha Tattoo Studio. During his travels, Bikas, always looks for new ways to improve his art. In 2010, during a trip to Thailand for Pucket tattoo convention, Bikas learned bamboo technique.



When he is not tattoing, he likes to play the didgeridoo and djembe, planting trees in the mountains, or just enjoying jungle life.

When he is not at work in Nepal, he enjoys travelling. He has spent a few seasons tattoing in Goa, India.
