Reception

Critic Subhash K. Jha rated the series 2 stars out of 5 and felt the series as restless and sleazy, stating "The Tattoo Murders(earlier titled Kamathipura) is a pulpy puzzle and finally a mindless mess. The atmosphere created in this series is so sleazy I wondered who the target-audience for the 7 episodes of mayhem and sleaze was. I believe lowbrow crime and campy sex have a younger non-metropolitan audience.This series feels like those softcover pulp novels that used to be available on railways stations and pavement book stalls."[9]

Firstpost rated the series 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "The Tattoo Murders is stung by pulpy writing, amateurish supporting actors and storytelling that relies on upon tell rather than show."[10]

Rediff.com wrote "A psychological angle is thrown into the mix as well and it occupies a good part of the narrative. However, it would have had a much better impact had it been cast, and directed, better."[11]

The Daily News & Analysis opined "And while much of the series will keep you gripped, what it still needed was good editing, chopping off the B-roll and also not to mention the pointless conversations that could have helped wrap up the series in fewer episodes."[12]
