I’m Bilge Kurt, known by my artist name, Tiamat.
I was born in Istanbul in 1997. I entered the tattoo industry at the age of 18 as an apprentice, and since then I’ve worked in various studios and explored many different styles — continuously improving myself both technically and artistically.

After graduating from a Science High School, I earned my degree from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Department of Ceramics and Glass. This education shaped my artistic perspective; the understanding of form, balance, and aesthetics I developed there brought a completely new dimension to my approach to tattoo art.

In every tattoo, I create a personalized design process — producing original works that harmonize with both the client’s body form and their individual expression. Alongside custom freehand designs, I’ve also mastered the whip shading technique.

Driven by a desire to share my knowledge and experience in the industry, I began offering tattoo training.
In my courses, I focus not only on technical skills, but also on helping students discover and develop their own artistic style.
