Getting a tattoo for me is a part of the process of healing,” shares 47-year-old Andre Tully (inset), who flew back from Singapore to India last weekend, just in time for the second edition of Kula Worldwide, a community project that kickstarts in Goregaon’s Nesco January 19 onwards. Featuring over 300 artistes from 20 countries, the gathering aims at celebrating communities and cultures through tattoos and inking, performing arts, music, digital art and more.
“Many get tattoos to cover scars; some like me get it to commemorate the passing of their beloved dog, others may look at it as way to move on from abuse, mark the tiresome battle against cancer or to simply appreciate this form of body art,” Tully explains why inking is a huge part of the three-day gathering. Adding that he doesn’t like to address Kula as a festival, he says that the idea is for it to be a community project that honours co-existence.
