Tatoo Parlours in Mumbai??

Question

Answer 1

Tattoo's cool

Today, tattoos are a by-product of the `music video culture' and a symbol of the youth's `cool' attitude. "It's everywhere... in music videos, film songs and fashion-show ramps," says Stephen, a college student.

This trend has helped create a market for tattoo artists. Tattoo parlours in Mumbai are slowly seeing an increase in the number of customers. "We have done over 350 permanent tattoos since we launched our parlour in April 2004," says Smita Sinha of Funky Monkey Tattoo and Design Studio in Bandra.

The very fact that Funky Monkey opened in Mumbai, after tasting success in New Delhi, is proof of the growing market. "We use the best of equipment along with sterilised, disposable needles and safe dyes," says Smita. This assumes significance due to the looming threat of HIV and Hepatitis B infection.

However, there is a dearth of trained talent in India. During its launch, Funky Monkey hired artists from Thailand. Ronni Froberg, a professionally trained tattoo artist from Denmark, is currently the sole tattoo artist at Funky Monkey, Mumbai. "Tattoos are definitely not a fashion statement, since the ones we do are permanent. It is a personal expression and you have to be very comfortable with it since you have to live with it," says Froberg, who has been in the business for five years. Though it is possible to remove tattoos, the process is more expensive than creating one.
