Meet our team and see our Bangalore studio

You might be wondering who is holding the needle. We are a collective of artists, including Srinath, Maxy, Kishore, and Maggie, with over 14 years of experience in Bangalore. We do not just do tattoos, we run workshops to raise industry safety standards. Everything you see here, from the posters on our walls to the way we prep our tools, is about creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and ready to tell your story.

Our Story and Studio Culture

We believe every tattoo or piercing holds a story. At Tattoos and Tales, our studio in Hulimavu is more than just a place to get inked. It is a shared space where we value hygiene above all else. You will never see a piercing gun in our studio because we refuse to take shortcuts with your health. We use only single-use needles and strict sterilization protocols because that is the only way to do it right.

Meet the Artists

Our team is a mix of backgrounds and specialties. Srinath and Maxy anchor our piercing expertise, while Kishore brings a focus on realism and custom design. We are educators at heart. We don't just want to provide a service, we want to help you understand the process. Whether you are curious about dreadlocks, thinking about a laser removal, or planning your first piercing, we are here to talk.

Why We Do It This Way

We have seen too many bad experiences from rushed appointments. That is why we prioritize consultation time. When you walk into our studio, you are not a number. We take the time to talk about your pain tolerance, the anatomy of your piercing, and how to look after your art once you leave. We don't sugarcoat the facts, especially when it comes to common myths about piercings, because honesty is part of the service.
