"People have been coming to me from all over the country as I am the only tattoo artist here," the Daily Times quoted Ahmed, owner of Xtra Tattoo house, as saying.
"The years that I have spent here have been a remarkable learning experience as I get to meet different people by simply sitting in my parlour," he revealed.
He charges Rs 2,500 per square inch and if the tattoo is bigger than a square inch, the rate is Rs 1,500 per square inch. The most expensive tattoo he has ever made was a full arm tattoo of sharp edges, for which he charged Rs 175,000.
"Making a tattoo is not easy because a minor distraction could ruin the whole design, and the client would make a fuss over the payment," he said.
"Further, I have a lot of customers that I cannot entertain because I cannot make more than five or six tattoos a day as its very hectic.
"My vision has blurred over the years making tattoos because I have to focus very hard on a design, but I have enjoyed doing this work and I don't regret it," he added.
