GET INKED !!

“A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye. As a tattoo is grounded on living skin, so its essence emotes a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition.” 

A tattoo, a mark either permanent or temporary on the body other than a birth/burn mark is fun and painful to be inked. India has followed this art since times immemorial from the temporary heena and alta designs to the more complicated marks etched permanently on the body.

Here is a look of the evolvement of tattoos since ages.

Priyanka chopra's "Daddy's little girl tattoo"

“Tattooing, when understood in its entirety, must be seen as a religious act. The human being brings forth images from the center of the self and communicates them to the world. Fantasy is embodied in reality and the person is made whole."
