approach
Every tattoo starts as a drawing.
Bring a finished idea, a reference or just a feeling. Our artists draw it for you by hand — shaped around your body, the placement and the scale — and tattoo it with the care of a studio that has been doing this for more than 25 years.
Styles we tattoo
Each artist has their own speciality, so your idea goes to the hand that suits it best.
- Fine line
- Black & grey
- Realism
- Ornamental
- Illustrative
- Colour
- Lettering
- Cover-ups
From sketch to skin

We draw it for you
Your artist creates a custom design and refines it with you. If needed, we invite you in before the session to check the size and placement on your body.

Tattoo day
A private, sterile station set up just for you. Sealed single-use needles opened in front of you, and aftercare support until it’s fully healed.
The artists
A family studio led by brothers Vikas and Micky Malani, who have tattooed in Mumbai and London for over two decades — alongside specialists in fine art and medical camouflage.
Selected work
Tattooed for the screen
Our founders created the tattoo looks for John Abraham in Pathaan, and have tattooed Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma and MS Dhoni.

Before you book
Everything else is on each service page, or just ask us.
Do you take walk-ins?
Yes, we accept walk-ins. The studio may be fully booked, though, so for a consultation or appointment it’s best to get in touch first and we’ll find the most suitable date and time for you.
What is the minimum age?
18 for tattoos, semi-permanent make up and medical work. 16 for piercing. You may be asked for ID.
How much will my tattoo cost?
It depends on size, placement and design. You’ll get a clear estimate and the number of sittings at your free consultation.
Do I have to pay a deposit?
All our consultations are complimentary. To book a service we take a deposit to reserve your slot. The deposit is non-refundable within 48 hours of the appointment, and you can reschedule once.
How long does a tattoo take to heal?
Around 45 days. Once it’s healed we usually invite you back to check on it.
