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."

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."

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."

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."
