Istanbul Tattoo Studio — Professional & Award-Winning
Bosphorus Ink is an award-winning tattoo studio in Istanbul, serving clients since 2021. If you're searching for a professional and trusted tattoo studio or piercing studio in Istanbul, our five years of experience and expert team make us a top choice — our goal is to deliver the best tattoo studio experience in Istanbul with fully custom design.
We work in every style — realistic portraits, fine line, black & grey, color, geometric and minimal tattoos. We also offer cover-up tattoos to transform old work, plus professional piercing. Every session is done with hospital-grade hygiene, autoclave sterilization and single-use materials.
Whether you live here or you're getting a tattoo in Istanbul while visiting, our English- and German-speaking tattoo artists make it easy. You'll find us on both sides of the city: our Beşiktaş (Fulya) studio is minutes from Şişli, Nişantaşı and Levent on the European side, and our Pendik studio serves Kartal, Maltepe and Tuzla on the Asian side.
For free advice on tattoo prices, design and aftercare, get in touch. Explore our tattoo & piercing services, meet our tattoo artists, browse the gallery, or visit one of our Istanbul studios. Just visiting? Read our guide to getting a tattoo in Istanbul as a tourist.
