Some collaborations don’t need overthinking, they just feel right. That’s how it was when we connected with Eric Jason D’Souza.
Eric is one of India’s most respected tattoo artists. But beyond the ink, what stood out was his outlook. Calm, deliberate, and deeply personal. He spoke about how a tiger waits. It watches. It doesn’t react to everything, but when the moment is right, it moves. That approach mirrored how he’s made choices in his life, and it’s something we instantly understood.
When we asked Eric to reinterpret our iconic Stance Mat, he took that very philosophy and built it into the design. The tiger he created isn’t roaring or attacking. It’s still. A presence. His work didn’t erase the existing design; it added to it. It became a conversation between our foundation and his expression.
We’ve always believed that creativity doesn’t live in silos. It happens when different energies meet and make something neither could alone. This collaboration with Eric is a reminder of that. It’s not about marketing. It’s about meaning. About staying open to people whose rhythm we respect.
This is one of those moments that excites us, not because it’s loud, but because it’s true to how we think. Originality is often quiet. But it leaves a mark.
There’s more to come. More collaborations. More creative expressions that deepen what TEGO stands for.
But for now, we’re proud to share this one.
