REMEMBER Shefali Jariwala in the Kanta laga remix- wooing her boyfriend with the I Luv You  tattoo on her arm? That was on silver screen and way back in 2003.  This year tattoos have pierced into the Indian lifestyle in a new avtaar- they are being considered by Gen X as the coolest way to express and emote.

Sms-es and emails are there, but when it comes to communicate in special situations with novelty, tattoos are taking the cat away.

Proposing to your beloved, celebrating a long-cherished success, a family reunion after ages, a dream house or even making your loved ones feel special are being communicated with ink and needle on your skin; as it is human instinct always seeks permanency.
