Tristan Schied

Extremely easy getting ahold of them via WhatsApp. Got scheduled the same day and was very pleased with the art! Ezgi is a phenomenal artist with great line work and attention to detail. Very affordable as well. If you're thinking of getting a tattoo in Istanbul — THIS IS IT!

Ich habe mich von Anfang an sehr wohlgefühlt. Der Kontakt über WhatsApp und Instagram war super freundlich bei Ezgi. Beim Termin herrschte eine tolle, entspannte Atmosphäre. Das Tattoo ist wunderschön geworden und sehr sauber gestochen. Ezgi ist die Besitzerin — sehr nett und sie weiß was sie macht. Ich komme gerne wieder!

Molto brava, mi ha consigliato bene. Super gentile e disponibile — la consiglio assolutamente. Il posto si trova di fronte la Torre di Galata, vista stupenda dallo studio.

Amazing experience! The two girls were incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. My brother and I both got piercings — such a clean, precise, and delicate job. I'll definitely be coming back next year for my tattoo. Thank you so much!

Amazing location, great people, and extremely talented artists! I got a tattoo under my knee — a very sensitive area — but I felt comfortable throughout. These ladies are clean, professional, and gentle. The location next to Galata Tower is absolutely unreal! Genuinely considering flying back to Istanbul for my next tattoo.
