After having had a lion tattoo on his forearm for some time, Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt is getting two new tattoos - another lion on his chest and the word "honour" in Japanese on his arm.
"The actor wanted another lion tattoo, but since he already has one, this one had to be different. We sat together and finally settled for one big lion design ... it’s going to be a coloured one," tattoo artist Vishwas Dorwekar of Hakim Aalim’s saloon revealed.
"Apart from this, the actor is also getting the word "honour" in Japanese on his arm. This one will be short and simple," Dorwekar told IANS here.
The artist will also be improvising Dutt’s forearm lion tattoo, as the actor is not happy with the way the tattoo had turned out.
"He wants some basic changes in his first tattoo and I’m working on it," he said.
Not many know that Dorwekar is the man behind Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan’s ’Kareena’ tattoo that attracted much media attention.
"Saif knew what he wanted and how exactly he wanted it to be done. Tattoo drawing didn’t take much time, as he was very clear in his thoughts," he said.
Dorwekar has been in this business for the past 25 years and believes that tattoos were always there but Bollywood stars have made them popular.
"My family has been in this profession for ages, but initially it was only religious tattoos that were popular. Hindus and Catholics used to get religious tattoos on various parts of their body," he said.
"Now, Bollywood has made tattoos very popular and people are imitating their favourite actors," he added.
Describing tattoo making as a "tickling art", the artist said: "The process is best described as a tickling art because when the machine touches your body, it gives a ticklish feeling."
