Mandalism is the studio of one of Goa’s only female tattoo artists. Located in Vagator, it's run by Manasi — a kickass self-taught tattoo artist, who spends her time in Goa between November and May. Rest of the year, she’s tattooing people on her travels. She is known for her mandala tattoos, whose designs are based on sacred geometry as well as her 3D designs. She’s usually booked out months ahead, so while she might not be your best bet for spur-of-the-moment tattoo decisions, she’s the perfect person to go to if you’ve thought this through. She charges around INR 7,000 an hour, and is happy to consult and come up with a tattoo she’ll design specifically for you.
