Why NEXA

An atelier, not a walk-in shop

Every project starts with a free consultation. We read the anatomy of the placement, talk about scale, line weight and how the piece will age, and only then draw. Nothing is copied from a catalogue — each design is drawn for one person.

The studio is quiet by design: a single artist works at a time, needles and tubes are single-use, and the workspace is prepared and documented before every session. That is what most people mean when they search for a premium tattoo studio in Istanbul.

We are five minutes from Küçükyalı and Bostancı, close to Kadıköy and easy to reach from anywhere on the Anatolian side. International clients are welcome — the consultation and the whole session can be run in English.
