Santhals

For tribal communities, tattooing isn't just about beauty. It has a profound spiritual significance. The Santhal tribe, which hails from Bengal and Jharkhand, tattoos their men and women at different stages in life. Women are painstakingly tattooed with floral patterns to prepare them for motherhood and to mark the coming of puberty. They are told that the godna will protect them from predators such as upper caste men and kings, while also curing leprosy.

Tattooing is an important way for the Gonds in Central India to distinguish between family and friends in the spirit realm. The tribe traditionally leaves much of their bare skin exposed, so the tattoos serve as a form of identification in the spirit world. Men have a unique take on the tradition: they tattoo themselves with coin-sized designs that they call "sikka." Odd numbers represent life, while even ones represent death.

Dhanuks

Aesthetically pleasing and sentimentally relevant, tattoos are a trending style statement among young Indians. "Tattoos can help you form your identity and make you stand out," says Simmi Waraich, a psychologist.

In the agrarian and forested landscapes of India, tribes have been inked for centuries. They use the designs to mark their life experiences and beliefs.

The Konyaks in Nagaland, for example, were aggressive warriors and headhunters. Boys weren't considered men until they'sacrificed' their first skull by banding together and taking the enemy's head. They then got their faces tattooed to signify manhood.

The Dhanuks in Bihar tattooed women to protect them from the predatory gaze of upper-caste men. Their tattoos, however, don't cover their entire body since the lower-caste Dhanuks believed that bare skin was shameful.

Mundas

Tattoos are a popular fashion statement in modern India. They're also very popular with the youth. Body art has been used in India for centuries, and for many different purposes. Tribal tattoos are used for a variety of reasons, from the dense mountainous jungles of Nagaland and the dry deserts in Kutch.

For example, the headhunting tribes of northeastern India wore tattoos to distinguish themselves from other tribesmen during battle. Nomadic tattooists, known as Korathi in the past, would travel around the countryside and tattoo intricate kolam patterns on their clients' bodies.

The Baiga women of Gujarat prefer tattoo motifs like holy men and popular gods to protect them against both real and spiritual dangers. The tattoos are also a sign of their commitment to a particular faith.

Kotharis

Tattooing was a sign of wealth and status among the Kotharis. It was a tradition for a woman to be tattooed with lines that stretched below her chin from both ends of the mouth when she was five years old. These lines made it easy to estimate her age. Later, she received additional marks on her forehead and cheeks.

The tattoos were done by hand by women for other women, and they accepted payment in grain. They would also tattoo men's arms, calves, and backs.

Many young Indians tattoo Western designs on their forearms, such as skulls, pretty girls and their names. These designs may not have the cultural significance of their ancestors, but they still represent affiliation, maturity and personhood.

Rajputs

In India, tattoos are a centuries old tradition. Tattoos may be a favorite of hipsters, rock stars, and other westerners. Shomil Shah, a tattoo artist in Mumbai, inherited his passion for the art from his grandmother who was a Banjara native to Kutch. Women of this nomadic group would tattoo heavy and dotted linear markings along their necks and hands to distinguish them from other tribes.

They also wore a tiara on their heads. This symbol of Rajput royalty was often a sign for wealth and power.

As over 3.5 crore devotees thronged Sangam, the fusion of spirituality and modernity was evident. Social media influencers as well as branded sunglasses, Rudraksh Bracelets and unique Tattoos added a spark to the event. Even a bodybuilder with six pack abs caught the attention of onlookers as he emerged out of the icy water.
