Vural Emekci — Tattoo Instructor & Art Teacher

I’m Vural Emekçi. My passion for tattoo art began during my high school years, and over time I’ve become both a practitioner and an instructor recognized in the industry. I’m also a qualified art teacher — my background in fine arts allows me to teach students drawing, composition, and color theory with strong academic foundations. Based between Ankara and Istanbul, I conduct active studio work and offer training programs built upon both my artistic and teaching experience.

My educational approach strongly connects theory with practice: starting from on-paper design and basic drawing techniques, progressing through synthetic and real skin applications, cover-up work, and specialized workshops. As an art teacher, I integrate traditional visual art disciplines such as pencil drawing, composition, form/proportion, and color theory directly into tattoo design — significantly enhancing my students’ creative and technical skills.

Core Training Focus

• Basic drawing, sketching, and composition (art-based foundation training)

• Proportion, negative space, and visual balance

• Machine techniques, needle/light selection, and color/tone control

• Sterilization, hygiene, and safe working protocols

• Cover-up techniques, real skin applications, and portfolio development

• Workshops, seminars, and professional networking within the industry

Who Should Join?
My programs are designed for everyone — from beginners with no experience seeking foundational art and tattoo education, to professionals aiming to strengthen their portfolios or specialize in advanced techniques. With my art education background, the courses are particularly beneficial for anyone looking to build their design and drawing skills from the ground up.
