About Custom Tattoos
Who I Am
Nanna hesaru Ajay. I do tattoos out of my studio in Nelamangala, Bangalore. Most days, I’m doing everything from simple designs to detailed family tribute tattoo work, but my heart is with those Amma Appa (Mom Dad) pieces. There’s nothing like seeing someone’s face when a design really means something to them.
Your Idea, My Ink
Nimma idea na heli (Just tell me your idea)—doesn’t matter if it’s a photo, just a thought, or something you scribbled in a notebook. I’ll sketch it out, make a stencil, and you see exactly how it looks before any needle touches your skin. No surprises.
Family & Memory Tattoos
People come for memorial portrait ink of parents, baby footprints with names, personalized sibling tattoo designs, and more. Sometimes it’s for a brother or tangi (younger sister) - these stories stick with you.
Cover-Ups & Fixes
Old ink not working anymore? I do Shiva tattoo cover up art, peacock feathers, lions - basically, I’ll help you say goodbye to what you don’t want and start fresh.
Portraits & Symbols
Realistic pet portrait tattoo work is something I enjoy, but I also do faith-based pieces - Lord Shiva, Hanuman, Raghavendra Swami, or animals like lions and tigers. Whatever has meaning for you.
My Studio
I keep everything clean, sterile, and safe - adu guarantee (that’s a guarantee). Just come in with your story and let’s make it permanent.

My Story
Namaste! I'm Ajay, running AJ Tattoo Art here in Nelamangala since 2015. Every tattoo I do, whether it's Amma Appa (Mom Dad), someone's god, or a lover's name, feels like I’m part of their story. Even tried blood art portraits for folks wanting something extra special. What makes my day? That smile when people see their finished tattoo, no better feeling boss.
My Work
Tattoos, Blood Art, Piercing, Laser Removal - I do custom tattoos, blood art portrait painting, safe laser tattoo removal, and body piercing. Whatever you want designed, we’ll make it.
Blood Art Portraits - Unique framed portraits made with your own blood (don’t worry, all safe) for deep personal value. Not a tattoo, just art.
Custom Tattoos & Religious Designs - From Amma Appa tattoo design to custom religious tattoo like Rayariddare or Bhajarangi, I enjoy making tattoos that mean something.
Cover-Up & Safe Laser Tattoo Removal - Old tattoo regret? I can cover it up or remove it safely with laser, no tension.
