Services
Same Day Tattoo
Yes, same-day tattoos are available in Istanbul. Flash designs and small custom pieces under 10 cm can usually be booked for the same day. Just message us on WhatsApp and we'll find a slot together.
Walk-in Tattoo
You can walk into our studio and choose from our ready flash catalogue without a prior appointment. Subject to artist availability, you can start the same day — on busy days there may be a short wait.
Fine Line Tattoo
Fine line tattoos use single or ultra-thin needle configurations to create thin lines with minimal shading. Botanical motifs, geometric forms and delicate symbols are where this style excels.
Small Tattoo
Small tattoos typically run 5–10 cm and are placed on areas like the wrist, finger, nape, behind the ear or ankle. They're quick, relatively painless and can usually be started the same day.
Minimalist Tattoo
Minimalist tattoos rely on clean outlines, generous negative space and no unnecessary fill. Similar to fine line but more geometric and symbolic — focused on form over detail.
Blackwork Tattoo
Blackwork uses dense solid black areas, sharp outlines and graphic-effect patterns. It creates high contrast on any skin tone and stays strong for decades.
