THE PUBLIC INDEX IS BEING PREPARED. No approved artist profiles are published yet. Editorial photographs are not directory-member profiles.

DISCOVERY STARTS WITH A QUESTION

Whose work
caught your eye?

THE POINT OF VIEW

Keep the name
with the work.

A studio can be a place. A gallery can be a collection. The artist is an individual, with their own contribution and a working context that deserves to remain visible.

Tattoo Artists of India is being developed around that distinction: an individual-artist directory, with clear authorship, authorised portfolio references and a useful route into a first conversation.

AN INDIVIDUAL VIEW / EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

FIVE VIEWING ROUTES

Follow what draws
your attention.

The visual-language index
01

Line-led work

Begin with the marks that draw your attention, then identify the person and context behind the example.

02

Black-led compositions

Look at a composition as a whole, and keep the creator of the work in the foreground.

03

Reference & representation

Make the reference, the creator and the presentation context part of the same conversation.

04

Colour & visual mood

Describe what you see, while respecting the limits of a photograph and the context of the work.

05

Illustration & original ideas

Follow the development of an idea, with room for attribution, interpretation and a considered brief.

These are editorial viewing prompts and search categories. They are not technical definitions, competence assessments or a promise about an artist’s services.

THE PORTFOLIO LENS

A closer look.
A better question.

Start with the author.

Identify the individual who made the work. A studio gallery, a repost and a collaborative project can include different contributors. Keep the artist’s own role attached to the image.

Whose contribution am I actually looking at?

THE READING NOTEBOOK

Less assumption.
More perspective.
