I’m a tattoo artist originally from Istanbul, now based in Cardiff. My journey began with a deep passion for drawing and a fascination with turning images into something permanent and personal. I found my voice in micro realism — a style that allows me to capture incredible detail in very small spaces. Without formal training, I developed my craft through endless experimentation and a constant drive to improve. I focus mainly on animals, portraits, and emotionally resonant imagery — things that feel alive even at a tiny scale. Using ultra-fine needles and high-contrast shading, I strive to create tattoos that are delicate, precise, and hyper-realistic. For me, tattooing is about telling real stories through the illusion of depth and texture.

My tattooing is defined by discipline, precision, and respect for the craft. I work with a micro-realistic approach, where every millimeter counts — no shortcuts, no rush. I’m currently based in Cardiff as a resident artist, where I focus on creating long-lasting, technically clean work tailored to each client. In 2019, I received a “Best of Day” award at a tattoo convention, a moment that reminded me why I do this. For me, tattooing is not just art — it’s dedication, control, and connection through detail.
