Originally from Mashhad, Iran, Khashayar started his path in electrical engineering—but creativity was always calling. Drawing had been part of his life since childhood, and that passion eventually led him to tattooing. Over the past 10 years, it’s grown into both his craft and his way of life.

He specializes in large-scale realism in both color and black & grey, often blending in modern art elements to make each piece stand out. He’s also experienced in cover-up work from his years tattooing in Turkey and enjoys adding subtle color accents to black & grey designs for a fresh twist.

Khashayar has received awards in both minimalism and black & grey styles at international tattoo conventions in Turkey and Canada. Now based in Toronto and working at Lamanigance Tattoo Studio, he’s focused on creating a comfortable, collaborative experience and putting everything he has into every meaningful project.
