Sandeep Marwah Special Invitee at Tattoo Festival |
New Delhi: “What
an exciting scene when so many people are indulged in tattoo at the same time
and rock musical groups playing most popular songs are there for the
entertainment at Indira Gandhi Stadium” said Sandeep Marwah President of Marwah
Studio as a special invitee at the festival.
Beards, boots,
dreadlocks and mohawks, pierced earlobes, tongues, navels and colourful
sleeves. Men and women, boys and girls sitting atop tables, nonchalant to the
constant buzzing of the needle, and bobbing their heads to the snarls coming
from across the stage.
This could
easily be a scene from an underground party anywhere in the world. But this is
what the unassuming stadium at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex at ITO looked
like Saturday. This is where Delhi is hosting its first-ever tattoo convention,
called Heartwork Tattoo Festival (HTF).
More
than 60 tattoo artists from across the world are participating in this
three-day-long festival. The aim is to educate Indian society about tattoos.
People think tattoos are just a style statement. It’s actually a reflection of
the soul on the body.
