Art or survival?????

(by experts eyes) Janna Lian- international tattoo-artist in India)

Even in deep antiquity – permanent drawing on the body was reflected social place and qualities distinction of every tribe’s member. Techniques was primitive, but meaning approximately the same.

In present age tattoo-art became a show-business long ago outside India. Development of tattoo industry gives all possibilities for self-expression and it considers not only modern, but privileged!!!

That before was represented by lines and dots – now transformed into highest art - individual, unique and expansive. Real experts prefer beautiful picture on the body to the good car! And the explanation exists: tattoo, correctly chooses, clearly shows essence of personality, and even sometimes works as magic symbol, develops and enlarges spiritual qualities of owner, improves the level of life (Especially mantras, yantras, pictures of Gods, shloks from holy scriptures, tokens as OM, Dao, IN-YAN and others….) But (unfortunately) all this known’s more outside India .

More then 8 years I work in this business and three years I have to come to India and really proud to watch tattoo movement here, although it mostly still dots and lines and cause contradictions and fears, and really nice works visible only in big towns as Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, and Bangalore.

…There exist several good level tattoo masters. And some real experts of tattoo culture, for example as Gaurav Bakshi, owner of Sting Tattoo House in Delhi. He does not tattoo-master itself, but perfectly knows all directions of this industry and really passion about body-art. In his saloon I did few significant, models tattoos as seltik design, fantasy and biomechanics, which only started appear in India. I was very inspired and joyful by feelings – interest toward tattoo art growing day by day. Permanent tattoo – something what you can get once and forever, and what really very difficult to change afterword’s….So I have to notice necessary steps in this way for everyone, who starts work in this field -
