Sanam Johar opens up about his passion for tattoos; says ‘In a fragile world, tattoos are permanent'
The actor not only sports eight to nine tattoos himself but also owns two tattoo studios in Mumbai, marking his serious commitment to this art form.
'In the life today when everything is fragile, nothing is permanent. This permanence is a key factor I enjoy about tattoo. I'm passionate about them and have good 8 to 9 tattoos inked,' Sanam said, expressing how tattoos symbolize stability in an otherwise fleeting world.
Reflecting on his first tattoo, Sanam recalled, 'My first tattoo was probably in 2010, when I got inked 'Ek Onkar' on my left hand. It is very special to me representing the concept of the oneness of God. I have chosen this tattoo because I totally believe and appreciate its message of unity and faith.'
Sanam highlighted how tattoos have evolved into mainstream expressions of individuality. 'Tattoos have evolved from niche subculture symbols to widely accepted forms of personal expression and artistic display, becoming a significant trend in modern society.
Not just me but my family, from my mom to sisters we all are passionate about tattoos. We all have inked a good number of tattoos.'
Talking about his tattoo studios, he credited his mother for the business idea. 'Today I own 2 tattoo studios in Mumbai and the credit behind goes to my mom (Mrs. Kamini). She's into business and after she shifted Mumbai, it was her to bless me with this beautiful business idea. It's been around two years now when we inaugurated our first studio in Bandra and recently we came up with the second one in Navi Mumbai.'
Besides tattoos, Sanam is also celebrated for his choreography on shows like Nach Baliye and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, as well as his charming presence in the web entertainment space.
