We had booked our consultations for one day, and they were able to fit all 4 of us in on the same day as our consultations. Tansu helped with some of the designs and Uğur helped with another. I've never had such an in-depth consultation, they did an incredible job! The whole shop is a family, and they do a great job making their customers feel like a part of it. Janan actually did my tattoo, and finished it in less time than I expected! She was really attentive, and the end result is stunning. I felt comfortable the whole time and will definitely be coming back to her the next time I'm in Istanbul.

This place was a gem we found while on vacation in Istanbul. We were staying in Taksim, in an…read moreapartment on the top floor of the same building of the Tattoo studio. One day, while walking down the steps, we luckily ran across it. Normally, I wouldn't care for a tattoo, but my friend had an ugly homemade tattoo on his right shoulder. This tattoo had been bugging him for years, so we decided to knock on the door and check it out. We were greeted with open arms, the main tattoo artist did speak English, so it was fairly easy to communicate. He informed us that usually there is a two week/one month wait for clients, but since we were staying in the building and leaving soon, he could put a design together and have his student do the tattoo. We out down a 100 Turkish lira deposit and told him to create a design. My friend is from Afghanistan, so he wanted a nicer map to cover the ugly one he already had, with the word freedom written in Farsi in the middle. Two days later we were told the design was ready and it was time for the tattoo. Since they were squeezing us in, it was kind of after hours, around 10pm and the tattoo itself only took about 1 hour. The price was amazing, around 50% cheaper than what you would find in the US. The final Product looked wonderful in my opinion, considering it was to cover up another tattoo. The student was friendly and professional. The studio even has a live in dog that was cute and fun to be around. If you are ever in Istanbul and are looking for a tattoo, stop by this place and see what they have to offer.

Overall a fantastic experience for my wife and me. They were communicative and friendly. Honest…read moreabout price up front, and their artistry was impressive.
