"Tattooing the whole body is an extremely painful process, but I dint care about the pain. My devotion to my lord helped me overcome the pain." Surdas is now 80, his body adorns tattoos which are now fading under the harsh sun of his village in Chattisgarh. He recalls the two weeks when he was getting his full body tattooed with the traditional 'hand-poked' method, where ink is inserted beneath the skin using non-electrical, hand-made and hand held tools with needles of sharpened bamboo and steel. Despite the excruciating pain many like Surdas happily braved the pain for their devotion towards their almighty.

Meet the satnami tribes of chhattisgarh india. Unfortunate caste based distinction and untouchablity had kept them away from society and were not allowed to enter temples and socialize with other people. To free themselves from these untoward traditions, they tattoed themself from head to toe, including their face, with the name of god "ram". Heartfull and welcoming people who have blessing in disguise of being fully tattoed. Welcome to our homestays in chhattisgarh to know more about them. To the tatto artists tagged in the post, these are the real inkmasters, who got themselves tattoed for real life purpose and not as fashion or buisness. Do you dare compete with them? #inkmaster #satnami #tattoo #chhattisgarh #inktober #inktober2018 #inkmasters #tribal #india #chhattisgarh #india #bastarhomestays #homestaysinbastar #tattoos #bastar (at Bilaigarh, Chhattīsgarh, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/BplkWSxgaiB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ihtfpu1j3pd7
