Behind the chair

Five artists, one drawing table, a station set fresh for each client.

Tanvi and Kiran started with one chair in a friend’s garage in Ulsoor in 2012. Today five artists and a piercer work from our first-floor studio on 12th Main, and every tattoo is still drawn for one person only.

Reviews

What customers say

Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.

I came in with three screenshots and no plan. Kiran drew something that was clearly mine, and kept the lines open so it would age well.

Meghna R. · Koramangala

They told me my old tribal piece needed a rework, not a cover-up, and saved me a lot of money. It looks new.

Rohit P. · Whitefield

Watching them open every needle in front of me put me at ease. The aftercare card was clear and short.

Questions

Before you book

Answers to what customers ask us most. More on the questions page.

How old do I need to be?

Eighteen for tattoos, with a photo ID. Lobe piercings from 12, with a parent present to sign the form.

How much is the deposit?

₹2,000 to book a tattoo date, adjusted on the day. It moves once if you tell us 72 hours ahead.

Can I bring my own design?

Yes, as a reference. Your artist will redraw it to suit the size, the placement and your skin.

How long does healing take?

The surface usually settles in two to three weeks, though it differs from person to person. Follow the aftercare card, and see a doctor if anything worries you.
