When it comes to tattoo studios in Bombay, the Body Canvas Studio is counted among the elites. And why not? Their stellar client list includes the likes of PC and even Aamir Khan. But oh wait, we don’t think Aamir Khan has any permanent tattoos on his body. So maybe they’re talking about the ones in Ghajini?

Getting a permanent tattoo done on your body might often mean becoming a part of a subculture. And that’s certainly what the folks at Tattooism believe in. So if you’re someone who’s in two minds about getting one for the first time, then just visit Tattooism, and they’ll help ease you into it.

Also, you can be assured that they practice all the safety measures to make sure your dream tattoo doesn’t turn into your worst nightmare.
Another contender for the ‘best tattoo studio in Mumbai’ title is Witch Art Tattoo Studio. Mostly due to the highly experienced tattoo artists they’ve got stationed in their booths. Also, they have a cool name, don’t they? Like if there was an HP spinoff where Hermione Granger was a grunge metal fan with septum piercings and hardcore full-body tattoos, then the Witch Art Tattoo Studio would be like her second home.
The best thing about AL’s Studio Tattoo Studio (well apart from their portfolio) is their expertise in cover-up tattoos.

Perfect for people who have been wearing long sleeves to hide the name of their long-gone ex.
The founding artists behind the Naughty Needles Tattoo Studio are Akshay Raja and Vijay Shah. They’re two of the most experienced in the city. Perhaps even more experienced than those peeps on Linkedin whose work experience tab goes back to the time of Alexander the Great. But jokes aside, Vijay and Akshay are as legit as they come. Just look at their portfolio for proof.
Speaking of experience, the brilliant team at Tattoo Culture Studio has spent many a year inking some jaw-dropping designs. Besides having years of practice with the tattoo machine, what also sets them apart is having one of the coolest-looking studios in Mumbai. The kind that’ll remind you of watching Miami Ink that used to air on TLC back in the day. So just visiting the studio will give you confidence in their sense of design.

Book an Uber to the Tattoo Star Collective asap.
