Whether you drop by my Nelamangala studio or courier the sample from elsewhere, every step—from handling to preservation—follows strict sterile standards. The portrait starts as a fresh crimson painting and naturally matures into a permanent, rich sepia tone over time. ### The Process: Safe, Sterile, and Personal I handle every portrait with medical-grade care. I use EDTA anticoagulant to prevent the blood from clotting during the painting process, ensuring smooth brushwork. * **Collection:** If you are in Bangalore, visit my Nelamangala studio for a quick, sterile collection. If you are outside Bangalore, I will guide you on how to courier a 2ml sample safely. * **The Artwork:** I paint on heavy-duty 180-200 GSM art paper. It starts as a bright crimson and, due to natural oxidation, settles into a permanent, deep sepia or rust shade. This is the nature of the medium and why it lasts. ### Why a Blood Portrait? People often ask for these as a 'raktada kaanike'—a gift of blood. It is a common request for siblings (Annas or Akkas) and best friends who want to memorialize their bond in a way that feels more tangible than a standard photo print. ### Customization and Framing I include basic calligraphy for names, dates, or messages like 'Agraja' (elder brother) or 'Best Friend'. * **Standard (A4):** Ideal for single-subject portraits or close-up couple sketches. * **Masterpiece (A3):** Recommended for two or more subjects or when you want more negative space for verses and messages. All portraits come in a black synthetic frame with glass or acrylic protection, ready to be mounted on your wall. If you have a specific message or date you want included, let me know when you share your reference photo. ## About AJ Tattoo Art I’m Ajay, and I’ve been running AJ Tattoo Art here in Nelamangala since 2015.
