First Tattoo Consultation
The first step is the most important.
Getting your first tattoo and have questions? Our first-tattoo consultation is exactly for that — and it's free. At our studio in Beşiktaş, Istanbul we patiently explain everything — which style, which placement, how much it hurts, how to care for it — and plan a small, safe start that suits you. No rush; we make the right decision together.
Before your first tattoo, you can learn about the right style, best placement for your body and what to expect from the process. We offer free pre-session consultations.

"When someone comes in for their first tattoo, guiding them is my favourite part. I'll do everything I can so they don't start with the wrong choice."
