Shilpa Shetty gets inked for the first time. The actress has finally joined the league of the stars that have got tattoos in the past.

A source discloses, "Shilpa is really scared of needles. That's why, despite wanting to get a tattoo for years, she kept mulling over it. Also, she has been contemplating the design of her first tattoo. When she finally decided to get one, and told her husband, Raj Kundra, he couldn’t believe it."

As she always wanted a tattoo that gives out positive vibes, she got a swastika inked on August 14, 2015.  It is designed in a very unique way as it also looks like Shilpa's initials – S and K.

Asserting the news, she said, "I wanted a tattoo, which radiated positive energy. And what can be better than a swastika, which symbolises being one with your higher self. It brings prosperity and wards off evil and negativity. It's just what I wanted."
