Cringing, craving, bingeing, braving... you always have an opinion on what's hot and what's not in your city and we just love to hear it. Besides, there's no better place to satiate that itch to bitch!
I got a tattoo above my ankle and an ear piercing done about 4 months back. Read all the good reviews on the net and decided to go for Al's studio, 'coz its a permanent thing. Arun was a great talker who helped in choosing a design and entertained me during the tattooing process to distract me from the pain (which was quite bearable).
I found that the place has become too commercial. The guys seemed interested in making money rather than ensuring that the jobs were done well. For instance, the tattooing and piercing were done by some others (not the famed brothers) who did not seem too... read more
Set up an appointment to discuss my design after which they were supposed to email me the sketch before the actual session. Took a few calls back and forth to finally get the design.

Getting a tattoo at Al's Carter Road was surely a fun-filled experience. Entering the studio with a lot of anticipation and fear was obvious. Deciding the design of the tattoo through leafing the pages of the book, google, some creativity was part of the process. The best part was getting the design on the body without much pain. It was just a tingling sensation much away from what I call pain. It was very professionally done. A very friendly, hospitable environment which can release all the tension and stress one is carrying to get a tattoo done. I was told there that getting... read more
