step by step
1. Pick your idea and placement
Bring a reference, a word, a symbol or just a feeling — every design is drawn for you, and the design consultation is free. For a first tattoo, the forearm, upper arm, ankle and back of the neck are easy places to start.
2. Know the price
Most small first tattoos land at the ₹2,000 studio minimum. Line work is ₹1,700 for the first inch, then ₹700 per inch; colour or shading is ₹2,000 for the first inch, then ₹1,200 per inch. Full price guide.
3. Before you come in
Eat a proper meal, drink water, get a good night's sleep and skip alcohol the day before. Wear clothes that make the area easy to reach.
4. On the day
You'll approve the final design and where it sits on your body before anything starts. Every tattoo uses sterile single-use needles and premium inks. Small pieces are usually quick — ask for a break any time.
5. Aftercare
You get the aftercare guide on WhatsApp before you leave — cling wrap or second skin, depending on your tattoo — and a check-in on your healed tattoo after about 45 days.
