There are just 4,000 to 5,000 tattoo artists across India — as Sunny Bhanushali tells us, the owner of Aliens Tattoo — who has organised a workshop dedicated to the art of inking, in the city, today. Few have proven their mark internationally while there are plenty of others who are finding themselves frozen in time. With the intent to change this, Bhanushali will share his working methods, technical configurations and several other necessary skills that the artist has acquired in the last 10 years.
