Established in March 2003, Dark Arts The Tattoo Studio is one of Bangalore’s oldest and most recognized tattoo studios. The studio was started by Pradeep Menon and Nagender Rao and was initially operating out of a small setup situated in Frazer Town. The studio was initially into Tribal and Celtic designs and had a database of several thousand designs that clients could choose from. This gradually changed as the studio was taking students and interns who had a flair for the art and wanted to start a career in the tattooing industry.
