Every shop has an origin story. Ours starts with Raman Kler — the kid who’d always be drawing in the corners of his school notebooks or staying up late, trying to finish “just one more” painting. For him, art wasn’t an activity. It was a way of slowing life down, a way of saying things without having to speak.
Over the years, painting was his constant. Friends knew him as “the art guy.” But at some point, Raman realized his canvases were too limited. A painting could hang on a wall, sure, but it didn’t travel with people. It wasn’t part of their everyday lives. And that’s what he wanted — art that moved with someone, that actually meant something personal.
The first time he watched a tattoo being done, he was kind of hooked. Here was art that never came off, art you carried on your skin, art that told a story no one else could tell. It wasn’t about decoration — it was about identity. That thought wouldn’t leave him.
Raman started learning the craft from the ground up. Every detail mattered: the hum of the machine, the steadiness of a line, the way shading changed the whole mood of a design. It wasn’t easy, but he treated it like he treated painting — slow, patient, and respectful of the process. Over time, his brushstrokes turned into linework, and his sketchbooks became skin.
That’s how 5911 Tattoos came to life. The shop is really just an extension of Raman’s first love: art that connects. Walk in with a rough sketch, a memory, or even a half-formed thought, and you’ll walk out with something permanent, something that feels right for you.
We keep things simple: a clean space, a safe process, and honest conversations. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your fifteenth, we want you to feel at ease. At the end of the day, this isn’t just about ink. It’s about trust, comfort, and a piece of art you’ll carry forever.
