SHAJ TATTOO LOVER SHAJ JOINS US H i Shaj, so how are you doing? I am very well, thank you for asking… Wishing the hours away until the weekend reaches, as per usual lol

how dose it feel to be a member of the best tattoo magazine in the UK, Na fuck that, the world, lol? Stunned and a little shy to be honest, particularly as I wasn’t expecting it whatsoever but once greatness comes knocking the only thing you can do is accept! Lol, that’s kind of deep But truthfully, it is refreshing to see that having tattoos, be it one, or one hundred, isn’t something that is taboo or frowned upon like it was the case maybe 10/15 years ago. I really like the idea of a magazine that caters to people that choose to dress their bodies with ink… It’s

an individual thing and anything individual is sexy. So tell us what got you started getting ink? What got me started, hmmmm… well this is going back a good few years now.

Tell us the story Well I got my first tattoo when I was around 17 (hidden from my mum of course) and it was a quote by French philosopher Voltaire in my own handwriting which was at the top and middle of my shoulders… That then was followed by the names of my parents written in Urdu in my mums handwriting and one by one the collection grew. Getting tattooed wasn’t to be different back then, it was what I liked and wanted as a representation of people/places/emotions that I had during that
