Custom Tattoo Design

Custom Tattoo Design Istanbul

A custom tattoo design is an entirely original piece drawn from scratch based on your story — completely yours. At Bosphorus Ink in Istanbul, our design-focused artists work at our Beşiktaş (Fulya) and Pendik studios. For a unique, personal tattoo, we are the right address in Istanbul.

How does custom design work?

We listen to your idea, references and story; then our artist draws a bespoke sketch for you. We revise together, finalise and apply it. The design is entirely yours and not used for anyone else.

Who is a custom tattoo for?

It is ideal for anyone who wants a tattoo whose meaning and design are completely their own, rather than ready-made templates. Custom design is possible in every style (fine line, realistic, geometric, Japanese).
