Bosphorus Ink, the leading Besiktas tattoo studio with over 5 years of history, is opening a new chapter. Besiktas Carsi, where the Bosphorus Ink story began, will always hold a special place for us. For over 5 years, our team has practised the art of tattooing and piercing in Besiktas — welcoming thousands of guests, working on countless custom tattoo designs, witnessing first piercing moments, and greeting returning friends in that familiar corner. Now we are opening a new chapter of that story.
We have moved to Polat Towerside, in a quieter, more planned, and more premium part of Besiktas. We have not left the Besiktas district — we have simply taken a step up to our new Fulya address to offer our guests a more comfortable experience.
Why Did We Move?
Tattoo and piercing are never only about the moment of application. They are shaped by consultation, hygiene standards, communication with the artist, and the entire aftercare process. As our team grew and appointment demand increased over the years, the physical limits of our old studio began to occasionally stand in the way of this experience.
A larger workspace, a more comfortable waiting and consultation area, a layout where our artists can work more efficiently, and an environment where our guests can move through the process in a calmer atmosphere — these were our goals.
Our new studio at Polat Towerside is exactly the space that meets this vision: modern, professional, and built around focused calm. We did not leave the energy of Besiktas Carsi behind — we found the peaceful environment we needed for our craft.
Our New Address
Bosphorus Ink continues to serve at our new address in Besiktas:
Fulya Mah. Yesilcimen Sok. No:12 / 424
Polat Towerside, Besiktas / Istanbul
📍 Direction note: Our studio is right next to MACfit.
The new address is in Fulya, one of the most central neighbourhoods of Besiktas, inside the residential and service area of the Polat Tower complex. You can reach the area by public transport, private car, or on foot. For parking, you can use the Polat Towerside parking facilities or one of the paid lots nearby.
We Are Still in Besiktas
There is one point we want to underline about this move: Bosphorus Ink is still in Besiktas. Our address has simply moved from Besiktas Carsi to our new studio within the same district.
As a studio that has held its place among Besiktas tattoo artists for over 5 years, we continue to welcome guests looking for a tattoo studio, piercing studio, fine line tattoo, minimal tattoo, realistic tattoo, geometric designs, watercolour work, or custom illustration in the Besiktas area at our new address.
We owe a special thank-you to every guest who chose us during our years in Besiktas Carsi, returned to visit, or stayed in touch about new tattoo ideas. That period was not just a starting point for us — it was the time when our brand identity took shape.
In the past year, our team has won multiple awards at international tattoo festivals including Marmaris Tattoo Fest, Izmir Tattoo Fest, and Istanbul Tattoo Convention, in portrait, realism, colour, and avantgarde categories. Festival awards are not a goal for us — they are an external confirmation of the discipline we apply daily. We aim to offer that same standard to every guest, every day.
How to Reach Our New Studio from Besiktas Carsi
For guests who used to visit our studio in Besiktas Carsi, our new address is still inside Besiktas — in Fulya Mahallesi, inside Polat Towerside. From Besiktas Carsi, head toward Fulya, and after a short distance you will reach our new studio.
Because we are located right next to MACfit, you will easily spot us once you arrive at Polat Towerside. If you would prefer guidance for your first visit, we can share a live location pin via WhatsApp, or you can take directions through Google Maps.
For Our International Guests Searching “Tattoo Istanbul”
Fulya and Besiktas are areas heavily visited by international tourists and long-term residents in Istanbul. Our new studio is in an easily accessible location for guests reaching out through tattoo Istanbul, tattoo studio Istanbul, or Besiktas tattoo studio searches.
Our team runs consultation and application sessions in Turkish, English, and German. Whether you are visiting Istanbul and want a small commemorative tattoo, or you have planned a longer, detailed project with us in advance, you can communicate comfortably in your own language at our new studio. Istanbul is one of the most accessible tattoo destinations in the region, and Besiktas — with its mix of central transport, dining, and accommodation — is an ideal base for international guests planning a tattoo session during their visit.
What Is New in Our Studio?
When we moved, we did not just rebuild the physical space — we rethought every detail of the guest experience.
Larger, private application booths
Quiet, dedicated workspaces for each of our artists. Whether your design is a quick few-hour piece or a long realistic project, both you and the artist can stay in full focus.
Comfortable consultation area
A calm, uncrowded space where you can talk through your tattoo idea, reference images, and expectations. This consultation process is especially important for guests getting their first tattoo.
Hygiene and sterile workflow
All equipment, surfaces, and work areas are prepared before and after each session according to specific hygiene protocols. In our new studio, we manage this process with a more organised and controlled workflow.
More planned appointment flow
A scheduling system where guests do not overlap and each appointment receives focused, individual attention.
All of these changes serve one purpose: to make your time at Bosphorus Ink feel like a premium studio experience — not just technically, but in the way it feels.
For Our Existing Guests — Touch-up and Follow-up Information
For guests who previously had a tattoo or piercing done at our Besiktas Carsi studio, all touch-up, follow-up, consultation, and application processes continue at our new address. Our old location is no longer providing active service.
If you have an ongoing design consultation, a scheduled touch-up appointment, or a piercing follow-up in progress, you can reach us via WhatsApp to receive the new address details and an updated appointment time. Existing client records are still in our system — there will be no break in continuity for any ongoing process.
Our Services Continue with the Same Passion
At our new studio, our team continues to deliver service to the same standards:
- Custom tattoo design and application
- Fine line and minimal tattoo
- Black & grey and realistic tattoo
- Geometric, blackwork, and illustrative work
- Watercolour and colour compositions
- Cover-up tattoo consultation and application
- Professional piercing services
- Tattoo and piercing aftercare guidance
Our artists continue to approach every design individually, combine reference images with your own story, and accompany you through every stage of the process.
We Continue to Work by Appointment
In our new studio, we continue to work by appointment to maintain our quality standards. Every tattoo and piercing process moves through a flow where the right amount of time is set aside, nothing is rushed, and proper consultation is given.
You can reach us through WhatsApp or by phone to book an appointment, share your idea, or visit our studio.
📱 WhatsApp: wa.me/905451310734
📞 Phone: +90 545 131 07 34
Mentioning your tattoo or piercing preference, your reference images if you have any, and the body area you would like for the application helps our team respond faster.
