Ink Your Story: Our Tattoo Services
At Soul Ink Studio, we offer a range of tattoo services to help you express your unique story. From traditional Sri Lankan designs to contemporary styles, our skilled artists are dedicated to creating exceptional works of art that you'll cherish for a lifetime.
Traditional Sri Lankan Tattoos
We specialise in authentic traditional Sri Lankan tattoos inspired by the Anuradhapura era, revived through contemporary tattooing by our founder, Uditha (a.k.a. @udvitva). Our designs draw from ancient temple murals, sacred symbols, traditional masks, intricate wood carvings, and ceremonial dance costumes, translating centuries-old Sri Lankan art into powerful, modern tattoo compositions.
Each tattoo tells a story rooted in Sri Lanka’s ancient cultural and spiritual heritage, with a strong focus on Anuradhapura-era aesthetics, symbolism, and organic line flow. While remaining faithful to traditional forms, we incorporate modern tattoo techniques, refined linework, and long-lasting application methods to ensure clarity, durability, and timeless appeal.
Our work is dedicated to reviving traditional Sri Lankan art from the Anuradhapura era through contemporary tattooing, offering culturally meaningful tattoos for those seeking authentic contemporary Sri Lankan designs, heritage-inspired tattoo art, and custom cultural tattoos that honor history while evolving on the skin.
Traditional Sri Lankan × American Traditional Fusion Tattoos
We specialise in Traditional Sri Lankan tattoos fused with American Traditional tattoo style, creating bold, timeless designs with deep cultural meaning. This unique tattoo approach is led by Heshan (@hebihash), blending Sri Lanka’s ancient artistic heritage with the strong linework and solid structure of classic American traditional tattooing.
Our tattoo designs are inspired by ancient Sri Lankan temple murals, traditional masks, wood carvings, ritual symbols, and ornamental patterns, reinterpreted using bold outlines, balanced compositions, and long-lasting color and blackwork techniques. Each piece is designed to age well while preserving the symbolism and storytelling rooted in Sri Lankan culture.
This fusion tattoo style bridges heritage and contemporary tattoo art, offering custom tattoos that are culturally authentic, visually powerful, and built to last. Ideal for collectors seeking meaningful traditional tattoos, cultural tattoos, or modern fusion tattoo designs with a strong identity and timeless appeal.
