The morning was filled with loads of excitement and anxiety! No I ain't that brave yet, it was a close friend of mine who was to get her first tattoo! I was only the moral support. We went to the Devil'z Tattooz tattoo shop at GK. The entrance to the shop was a little unimpressive as it was on the terrace, but it was nice and tattooed from inside.
We had an appointment for 12 noon, and the artist arrived at around 12:30. And the moment we saw the needle and the instrument, nervousness surpassed the excitement! It actually reminded me of one of those noisy and painful dental instruments. However, the whole thing got over in about 20 minutes and it was not as difficult as we had probably anticipated! And the outcome was exactly what we wanted! All's well that ends well. The artist did not speak much, but he did a good job. And by the time we left, there were atleast 7-8 more tattoo seekers. The place is quite popular!
The Design: We went for a very simple design, being the first tattoo. We chose an angel, a combination of feminism and liberation. This design cost Rs 4000.
So if you've been wondering where to get a tattoo done from, you could definitely visit this place once. I have to admit, I am getting a little tempted too :).
