Clearly scoped small or medium ideas usually fit more easily.

Is consultation skipped?

No. Design, placement, price and preparation are confirmed.

Can I walk in near Galata Tower?

The studio is two minutes away; still confirm availability.

In Galata, Beyoğlu, about two minutes on foot from Galata Tower.

Yes. Send travel dates early so the artist and session can be planned.

Do you provide aftercare?

Yes. The artist explains immediate care and the healing period.

Idea, references, placement, approximate size and preferred dates.

Does walk-in mean I can arrive without messaging?

You can visit, but messaging first is the most reliable way to avoid unnecessary travel. We need to check artist fit, preparation time and the day’s schedule.

Can a custom tattoo be done as a walk-in?

Sometimes. A clearly scoped custom idea may fit when the right artist has enough drawing and session time. Larger or research-heavy concepts usually need booking.

What should I bring for a same-day tattoo?

Bring valid identification and wear clothing that gives practical access to the area. Eat, hydrate and do not arrive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Is the walk-in tattoo price different?

No special walk-in fee is added. The quote reflects design, size, placement, colour, complexity and expected working time.

THE HONEST SAME-DAY ANSWER

Walk-in should mean flexible—not rushed

A same-day tattoo is possible when the right artist is available and the idea leaves enough time for consultation, drawing, placement and safe preparation. Message before travelling to the studio so we can give you a useful answer, not a guess.

Walk-in does not mean rushed. Clear small or medium ideas fit more easily; complex, large or cover-up work may require booking.

SEND THE USEFUL DETAILS

A photo alone is not a complete brief

Share the subject, body area, approximate centimetres, black or colour preference and when you can arrive. References help us understand direction.

THE PRACTICAL OUTCOMEWe review the idea, placement, size and timing, then route the project to an artist whose work fits the direction.

WHAT USUALLY FITS THE DAY

Scope decides more than centimetres

These are planning signals, not guarantees. Send the actual idea so we can assess it.

More likely

Clear symbols, restrained fine line, compact lettering and small-to-medium blackwork with a defined direction.

Needs a closer look

Detailed illustration, several references to combine, colour work or placement that needs substantial redrawing.

Usually needs booking

Large projects, cover-ups, multi-session work and concepts requiring extensive custom development.

Artist guidance: Walk-in does not mean rushed. Clear small or medium ideas fit more easily; complex, large or cover-up work may require booking.

WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE ‘YES’

We assess the project before asking you to cross the city

A useful same-day answer is based on the idea in front of us. The team reviews visual direction, placement, scale, preparation time and which available artist is genuinely suited to the work.

A clear brief saves time

One to three references, body area and centimetres are more useful than a folder of unrelated screenshots.

Arrival time is not session time

Consultation, drawing, stencil adjustments and station preparation happen before tattooing.

A ‘not today’ can be good guidance

If rushing would weaken the result, we explain what needs more time and offer a realistic next step.

I wanted to get a minimal tattoo and came across this place by chance. From the moment I walked in, I had an incredible experience. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The studio was extremely hygienic. Ezgi's artistry is truly something to admire and respect. I sincerely recommend this place to everyone. Thank you, Chill Ink.
