In 2012, he started working as a professional in this field. In 2017, he won four awards in different categories in Punjab Tattoo Expo.

Bharat also tells us that he is the first man in India to have his tongue bifurcated like that of a snake. He is often referred to as the Snake Man by many.

Bharat says that he has not taken any formal training about making Tattoos from any institute. He has learned everything from watching YouTube videos and working in the field. He says that practice has made him perfect over the years.

Bharat says that initially, his parents were not in favor of him joining this industry. They wanted him to go into a conventional career or get a government job. However, Bharat kept on insisting and creating awareness about this field in their minds. His persistent attitude finally brought his parents on board.

Bharat informs that the Covid pandemic did not affect his profession very much as it did with other professions. He says that he is doing well even now and his business is booming.
