1997 started my life as a tattooist with temporary tattoos. 1998 graduated from Afyon Kocatepe college of accountancy…

1998 started Eskişehir’s first tattoo and piercing studio under the name ‘deveninnalı Tattoo & Piercing’ and additionally I worked in Kuşadası and Bodrum.

2003 I graduated from Anadolu University management department.

2005 I released Turkey’s first ‘Tattoo book’ telling about professional tattooists and classic tattooing ‘Tattoo art in Turkey’ through ‘Anabasis’ publishing.

2007 August I travelled south eastern Turkey in the searching of traditional tattooing in Anatolia within a wide research including photographing in order to write a book about traditional tattooing. I mentioned this in my second book but the idea of writing an entire book about traditional tattooing is just temporarily propped up.

2008 I guided the first Turkish tattoo documentary

2008 I completed my second book ‘Tattoo education’ what I use as a course book for tattooist training. But this book also is temporarily propped up. It’s not printed yet. Throughout 2008-2012 I held tattooing courses and I coached 20 tattooists in total and stopped teaching in 2013.

2008 up to the present I coached many tv programmes about tattooing and was a guest in many tv programmes. 2008-2013 I guided in Tv programmes about tattooing for national Tv channels such as Star TV, Kanal D, TV8, Show TV, A haber, Flash TV, ATV

2009 I was awarded for the best realistic tattoo with my coloured Atatürk Tattoo at the first Turkish tattoo convention, where all of Turkey’s tattooists participated.

2008 I introduced medical tattooing to Turkey. Hair pigmentation or scalp micropigmentation in its original name was started in Turkey for the first time under the brand ‘HAIRPIGMENTATIONS

Until 2012 I was the only pigmentation in Turkey.

2008 I started to do researches about covering any kinds of scars with tattoo techniques. I started applying these techniques first in a clinic named ‘Clinic İstanbul’ that’s why I started being mentioned as the first tattooing artist to perform clinical tattooing. Later I performed these techniques in my own studio. Thus, the fact working together with medicants and doctors İnfluenced me positively in improving my tattooing techniques.

2011 I guided and starred as a guest for Germany’s SWR and ARD channels for their traditional tattoo documentary. Wiltrud Kramer was the director of the project and supervisor was Al Jazeera TV Turkey pressman Yılmaz Akıncı.

2013 I released ‘The Tattoo Book’ which is an encyclopaedic work. In this book a mentioned literary medical and hair tattooing for the first time in the world.

2013 I started joining Russia ‘s Moskov Tattoo Convention and Germany’s Berlin Tattooing festival as an officially invited guest.

Apparently, I still get invited and join different tattooing occasions throughout Europe. In Turkey I tattooed many celebrities, this is why I’m often mentioned as the ‘Tattooist of the Celebs’.
