Simple Designs To Crazy Instagram Trends, These Tattoo Artists Are Ink-credible

The information in this post might be outdated

Gone are the days when tattoos were stigmatised. A lot of millennials are getting beautiful body art and looking at it as a way of expression. So, whether you have been waiting to get one of your own ideas, a cover-up or a super-intricate design from Pinterest tattooed, here’s where to go.

Koru Ink

Artist Subhojit Chakroborty established Koru Ink in Sindhi Colony, 10 months ago. Today, Koru is one of the most sought-after tattoo studios in town, specialising in realism, hyperrealism, abstract, freestyle, psychedelic, and visionary art. But that doesn’t mean they won’t cater to your small/minimalistic tattoo needs. They believe in making original artwork and custom pieces, so you can just go to them with an idea/concept, and get a beautifully crisp unique masterpiece done. However, we recommend that you hit them up at least two days prior to getting your tattoo done, so that they can work on your ideas better.
