I believe scarification is an ever-evolving art form, moving toward a more linear, clean, and homogeneous aesthetic. I see a parallel between the evolution of scarification and human growth, where with time one should become wiser and more harmonious.

My name was given to me by a gentleman in India on my first visit: "You are the Golden Man, you are Shivaji." I’m not pretending to be God; I’m paying respect and homage to the great yogi Mahadev.
I have been engraving humanoids since 2008. My big inspirations for practicing my art form are the man himself, Lukas Zpira, and my guru and brother, Xed LeHead—which is where the influence of geometry came from. I am now exploring different ideas from within in the form of "DMT cells" or more inspiration from my friend Yogi Art.
Thank you to all who have inspired and supported me in my journey. As Ram Dass said, "We are all walking each other home." Har Har Mahadev.
