Chandigarh, March 10, 2024: Aarzoo Sharma, a young tattoo artist today unveiled her first tattoo studio, Tattoo Baby in Sector 8 market here. Renowned Actor-Model, Jonita Doda inaugurated the studio, which is city’s first all-women tattoo artists studio.
Aarzoo, who describes herself as “travelling tattoo artist” says that she has travelled enough, seen the world with the eyes of a tattoo artist and got a good exposure of preferences of artistic expression of the people of various cities especially Delhi, Mumbai, and Chandigarh.
For now, she has decided to halt her journeys for a while and settle down in Chandigarh and practice her art in the city beautiful, the city which has groomed her as an artist.
A born artist, she had a penchant for art and craft right from childhood. A graduate in mass communications from St Xaviers’, Mumbai one of the most renowned colleges of India decided that she was not getting her soul satisfied if she goes ahead to pursue her career in the field. She did her internship with a newspaper which also has their own digital channel and got immense appreciation that she was absolutely made out for a press/media job.
Aarzoo explains, “I thought it was probably not what I desired, so I did a post-graduation course in Animation from Pearl Institute in Delhi and also did freelance work putting my travelling on the backburner. I decided to open “All Women Artists” tattoo studio along with my partner Ajay who would offer additional services of piercing and permanent make-up by employing expert women staff.”
She feels that people interested in all three belong to the same tribe and they want to express themselves more fully by getting inked, pierced or through enhancement of their beauty with latest permanent make-up techniques.
Explaining the concept Aarzoo says, “This would be first-of-its-kind studio in the city beautiful, run by a young woman who herself is an accomplished tattoo artist and the staff and the supporting artists would mostly be women. The idea behind all women studio is that many women these days get their tattoos on body parts which they would feel more comfortable revealing to a woman artist than a male one, all those women would find a place to break any mental barriers they might be having and get themselves inked freely. The “Tattoo Baby”, the brand name and the mascot is a personal superhero like in marvel comics, but her super power is tattooing.”
She added, “The journey from the corporate world to the vibrant realm of art has been a transformative one. Ajay, my partner at “Tattoo Baby” and a seasoned tattoo enthusiast recognized my passion for tattoos long before I did. He is the driving force behind our studio, providing the essential support needed for its establishment, and the one to come up with the name “Tattoo Baby”. Together, we’ve woven our dreams into the fabric of this studio”.
