== 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."<ref>{{cite news |last=Jha |first=Subhash K |author-link=Subhash K.

''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."<ref>{{cite news |last=Jhunjhunwala |first=Udita |title=The Tattoo Murders review: With pulpy writing, unnatural dialogues, this cop thriller is all tell and no show-Entertainment News , Firstpost |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/the-tattoo-murders-review-with-pulpy-writing-unnatural-dialogues-this-cop-thriller-is-all-tell-and-no-show-9519631.html |access-date=22 May 2023 |work=Firstpost |language=en}}{{rating|2|5}}</ref>

''[[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."<ref>{{cite news |last=Tuteja |first=Joginder |title=The Tattoo Murders review |url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/the-tattoo-murders-review/20210413.htm |access-date=22 May 2023 |work=[[Rediff.com]] |language=en}}{{rating|3|5}}</ref>

''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."<ref>{{cite news |title='The Tattoo Murders' review: Meera Chopra breathes life into this hit-or-miss cop-thriller |url=https://www.dnaindia.com/movie-reviews/report-the-tattoo-murders-review-meera-chopra-breathes-life-into-this-hit-or-miss-cop-thriller-2886086 |access-date=7 July 2023 |work=DNA India |language=en}}{{rating|3|5}}</ref>
