First of its Kind

AUG 03 -
Tattoo culture in Nepal has been mistaken to be a result of Westernisation; however, it has been prevalent in Eastern societies since a long time back. To revive this traditional form of art, Bijay Shrestha and Mohan Tattoo Inc. have initiated the first National Tattoo Convention. The event promoted by Nepal Tourism Board will take place on Aug. 7 at United World Trade Centre in Tripureshwor.

Thirty-two tattoo artists from all over Nepal will be present at the event where they will exchange ideas about various types of tattoo styles. Visitors will have a unique opportunity to interact with the artists regarding their queries about tattoos, the safety aspects and also get a tattoo themselves. Babu Raja, the first professional Nepali tattoo artist will be honoured on the occasion.
