Tattooing is an art that walks around in the world with someone for as long as they live. Creating a tattoo also poses many of the same questions that creating a work of art or an exhibition does. People choose to get tattoos for many reasons. Some get a tattoo on a whim simply because they think it looks nice, some get one to commemorate something important to them, and some to pay respect to a lost loved one or as a tribute to their inspiration. Tattoo art is tremendously growing in India. There are some best, and best tattoo artists present here. Let’s explore the talent from Kolkata.

1. Rajdeep Pal

Rajdeep pal who is popularly known as Rajdeep ink pal, owns the most famous tattoo studio in Kolkata, 3 cube tattoo. He has studied MBA from IBS Kolkata. He uses computer-aided software to project the tattoo on the skin for selecting well. He has specialization in inking tribal or Egyptian designs. He also inks 3D tattoos. Two to three techniques are involved in 3D tattoos. “One is where you drop a shadow of the object on the skin. For example, a butterfly will appear as if it’s sitting on the skin,” says Rajdeep. The other technique is ‘under the skin’ where the tattoo appears as though the skin is torn apart, creating depth. “Motifs like butterfly and spider are some of the common designs used in 3D tattoos,” adds Rajdeep.
