Sullen İstanbul - Beyoğlu Dövmeci

About

Sullen Turkey – Beyoğlu Studio

Sullen Turkey’s new home in Beyoğlu, Istanbul brings together the vibrant energy of İstiklal Street and the tranquil atmosphere overlooking the Bosphorus.
Here at our studio, we live by the motto “The Body is a Canvas, Ink Tells the Story.”
You don’t just get a tattoo here — you carve your story into your skin through art.
While embracing the essence of Sullen aesthetics, we blend Beyoğlu’s dynamic, alternative street culture into every piece we create.

1. Our Studio Atmosphere – The Pulse of Beyoğlu

Located just a short walk from İstiklal Avenue, our studio balances the calm of the side streets with the refreshing Bosphorus breeze — offering both the chaos of the city’s heart and a creative sanctuary.

  • Art Gallery & Creative Space:
    Our walls feature original artwork by Sullen Art Collective collaborators and leading Turkish alternative street artists. The result is more than a tattoo session — it’s an immersive art experience.

  • Hygiene & Comfort:
    With top-tier sterilization standards, single-use materials, and ergonomic tattoo chairs, we ensure a safe and comfortable environment that matches Beyoğlu’s fast-paced energy.

2. Our Services & Booking Process

  • Free Consultation:
    When you visit our Beyoğlu studio, you can meet your preferred artist for a 15–20 minute consultation to discuss design ideas, stylistic preferences, and tattoo placement.

  • Design Phase:
    Following your consultation, our artists prepare digital sketches based on your input. We refine these together until final approval, ensuring your tattoo is exactly as you envision it.

  • Session & Aftercare:
    Depending on size and complexity, sessions last between 1–6 hours. Afterward, we apply sterile bandaging and provide you with detailed aftercare instructions along with our exclusive “Sullen Care” kit (panthenol-based cream and antibacterial gel) to support your healing process.
