Kuwaiti police arrested three Filipinos for turning their apartment into an illegal tattoo centre that attracted more than 900 customers in two years.

Acting on a tip-off, police sent an undercover to the apartment in the capital Kuwait City and asked the three men to draw a tattoo on his arm.

The Arabic language daily 'Al Anba' said they charged the undercover cop KD120 (Dh1,500) and that once he paid the sum, police men swooped on the flat and seized them.

The three confessed that they had been in this business for nearly two years, during which they served more than 900 customers, mostly Kuwaiti women.

“They rented a flat for KD500 (Dh6,500) a month and turned it into a tattoo centre. They were charging at least KD100 per session,” the paper said, quoting a police source.
