Tattoo shops in Bengaluru

Bengaluru, Karnataka has 17 tattoo shops on the map. All 17 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns. Walk-ins are worth asking about, but the good custom work everywhere books weeks out.

This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Bengaluru (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Pradeep Junior Tattoos and Aatman Tattoos Bangalore, plus Tattoo World. If a studio's missing from Bengaluru's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about tattoo shops in Bengaluru

3 of the 17 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — tattoo studios often work by appointment, so posted hours can be more of a guideline than a promise.

3 have websites listed. Studios with websites usually show portfolios there — the fastest way to tell if a shop's style matches yours.

Tattoo tips for Bengaluru

First tattoo or fiftieth — the rules don't change in Bengaluru:

• Match the artist to the style at Pradeep Junior Tattoos. Fine line, blackwork, traditional, realism — artists specialise. The best studio in town is the wrong one if the style's off.
• Check healed photos at Aatman Tattoos Bangalore. Fresh tattoos always look good. Ask to see healed work — that's the real quality test.
• Eat before your session. A real meal, not a granola bar. Long sessions on an empty stomach are how people faint.
• Browse portfolios before anything else. A studio's Instagram or website tells you more than any review. If nobody there does the style you want, keep looking.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Bengaluru — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new tattoo shop in Bengaluru can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 17 that's closed, or a great tattoo shop we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't rate studios or artists, and we never list prices — those are between you and the shop. What we list is the where and the how-to-find, from places real mappers have verified.

If you run one of the 17 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
