Consultation & Design

Before beginning any tattoo, Caglar meets with his clients to discuss:

• Tattoo concept and design preferences
• Placement and size considerations
• Personal meaning behind the tattoo

He then creates a custom design that fits the client’s vision and body placement perfectly. A great tattoo should flow naturally with the body. Caglar carefully considers muscle structure, bone anatomy, and skin tone to ensure that the tattoo looks balanced and enhances the client’s natural form.

Caglar believes that a tattoo should be more than just an image—it should tell a story. Whether it’s a personal tribute, a symbolic piece, or a creative expression, he works closely with clients to bring their ideas to life with artistic excellence.
