Rabari tattoos – known as godhna – are one of the oldest surviving tattoo traditions in India. They come from the Rabari community, a nomadic tribe from Gujarat and Rajasthan, who have been hand-poking these intricate symbols into skin for centuries. Every motif means something. Every line is a language.
Traditionally worn by Rabari women, these tattoos marked marital status, spiritual identity, and protection from evil. They were not chosen for aesthetics – they were earned through life. The scorpion that wards off harm. The sun that sustains all living things. The weighing scale that demands justice. Each symbol a story permanently worn.
At Ace Tattooz, we specialise in custom Rabari-inspired tattoos that honour the tradition behind the art. Whether you want a single symbol on your wrist or a full ankle composition, we create each piece from scratch – no templates, no copying – in consultation with you about what you want to carry on your skin.

It’s Not about the size of your tattoo but the story behind your tattoo is what makes it so special.. Client reason behind getting this tattoo – “Not like a long story as such… it’s just I’ve been a dessert lover since I was a baby. And donuts have been my latest obsession. And donuts is one thing that I love not just to eat but also to make! My dream is to have a donuts parlor of my own. And recently I set a record myself of single-handedly making 300 donuts in a night…so that’s how much I am obsessed with it!It’s Not about the size of your tattoo but the story behind your tattoo is what makes it so special..
