A piercing name is only useful when it matches your tissue, movement and lifestyle. Start with the area closest to your idea; each guide explains suitable placements, indicative pricing and healing.
The placement becomes specific before the needle opens
Explore the decisions between a saved reference and a piercing that can heal on your body. This is where anatomy, jewelry fit and a realistic quote begin.

STARTER JEWELRY
Style direction—confirmed in the studio
References can show the mood you like: clean titanium, a small gem, a hoop direction or warm gold tone. Your piercer confirms what is appropriate for a fresh piercing at your placement.
Standard titanium included for listed starting prices
Premium, gem-set and gold-tone upgrades priced separately
Shape and length chosen for swelling—not copied from healed photos
Current stock confirmed on WhatsApp before you travel
It may show the direction you like—angle, jewelry size or composition. It should open the conversation, not override what your tissue can support comfortably during healing.

Whether the anatomy supports the requested placement
How sleep, sport and daily pressure may affect healing
Which starter jewelry length and shape fit the mark
When downsizing or a follow-up check may help

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.
Nous avons immortalisé notre séjour avec un tatouage et le tatouage est parfait ! Le studio est super beau et le personnel est très accueillant et vraiment gentil ! Je recommande !
Standard titanium starter jewelry is included for the placements listed in our current price guide; upgrades are priced separately.
Do you pierce with a gun?+
No. Piercings are performed with a fresh sterile single-use needle.
Can every anatomy support every piercing?+
No. Some placements are anatomy-dependent, so an in-person assessment comes before a final recommendation.
Can I bring my own jewelry?+
Fresh piercings need appropriate material, dimensions and construction. Your piercer must assess any jewelry before use.
Can I walk in?+
Walk-ins are welcome when a piercer is available. Messaging first is useful for timing and jewelry questions.
