PS: Co-star Bips doesn't want to get inked. Here's why...
On Sunday night, Ajay Devgan finally got himself inked. But not just with his daughter's name on his chest but also an emblem of Lord Shiva to go with it.
Plans for a tattoo were on for a while, and Devgan's stylist Aalim's assistant was finally summoned to Goa for the job.
Says a source, "Ajay's an ardent bhakt of Lord Shiva. Earlier, he planned to only have his daughter Nysa's name inscribed on his chest. But then he thought, why not the one who created his daughter also? So now, it's Nysa's name and an image of Lord Shiva on his chest."
Devgan got the idea of getting a tattoo from his friend Sanjay Dutt who has four tattoos, one on his shoulder and back and two on each of his arms.
While Sanjay Dutt, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar and now Ajay Devgan have decided to flaunt their tattoos for the world to see, many of Bollywood's denizens believe tattoos are a nuisance. Bipasha Basu who's shooting in Goa along with Ajay Devgan was apparently offered a chance to get her own tattoo done.
The lady is not interested, "Never! It's painful. I will borrow John's line on the subject of getting a tattoo and say, 'You never paint or draw on the Taj Mahal.'
