I started working with Max in 2010, and learnt a lot from him. I found his behaviour friendly and have always been inspired by his optimistic attitude. He had been more like a friend to me than a teacher. He taught me people management, public dealings and most importantly- the technique to get the best result out of a tattoo. I had joined to learn & work for a while before moving onto my career path but with time we developed a relationship like brothers, and worked at Inkinn till 2017. Max is more like an extended family to me now. Jasmer

I hail from Nepal and I am a professional contemporary artist. With the thought of getting inked in the memory of my father, I designed a tattoo & was looking for a good tattoo artist, when I came across Inkinn Tattoo Studio and fixed an appointment with Max. I was amazed by his work and fascinated with the art of tattooing at the same time, so I got myself enrolled as a trainee under his guidance. In only 1 year of time, I learned everything about tattoo art, culture, techniques & much more. And now it's been 5 years of my professional career as a tattoo artist with Inkinn family! Amit Arjel

I have been tattooing since 2012 in Lucknow, and came to Delhi to learn it comprehensively. I was looking for a studio with tattoo training programs, but most of them didn’t offer the value for money. I came across Inkinn Tattoo Studio & met Max, who became the best mentor that anyone could have. He believes in teaching students who are passionate about art & have real interest in tattooing. That’s how I got myself enrolled & started my training. First few days in Delhi were difficult in finding a place to call home. When Max learned about it he welcomed me in his home till I found a place. Max has been like an elder brother to me, who taught me everything about tattooing from scratch. I remember how Max influenced me to spend time in making realistic sketches for months before moving onto ink & needles. Now I understand the value it holds since sketching is the core of tattooing. I learned a lot more than I imagined including client handling, tattoo consulting, studio management etc.
It’s been 4 years since I moved back to Lucknow, but I still look up to Max for tips & reviews on my work. For me, he is undoubtedly the best mentor one can have. Dhruv Singh

Learning tattooing at Inkinn has been an amazing experience. The moment I came in to talk to Max I got a positive feeling about him, and with the initial conversation I knew that he'd push me to do my best. Amit, Alfred, Sam and Nitin were also incredibly welcoming and open with their advice. It's a lot of hard work and practice to get to the stage of tattooing others, but the end result is extremely rewarding. Being able to give people a piece of art that lasts forever is an amazing privilege that I am glad to have learnt from Inkinn. Tushar Nath
