I've been drawing since I was 11 years old, and there hasn't been a moment in my life when I didn't want to do it. I gave up so much for it. I believe that art is my fun, my culture, my lover, my ritual, my everything.

At different times in my life, I experimented with different kinds of art. I made handmade ancient Greek musical instruments, sculptures from clay and wood, played with watercolors, and did some pencil drawings. I worked with different materials and discovered that my favorite material to work with is human skin. I'm currently drawing a fairy tale book but I can't finish it yet because of the intensity of my tattoo work. Some of these tattoo designs have even been inked already.

While making body art, I realized that a person's skin is the most valuable material and that I want to make people happy when they look at my tattoo ideas on their bodies... I don't think there's anything more gratifying than carrying the fairytale design that one imagines on his body all his life.

As a tattoo artist, I love to tell the fairytale stories which happen in our dreams, intertwined with nature and animals. Unique tattoos depict the times when we were children giving people positive energy. I'm passionate about nature and animals because I believe that the more dependent we are on nature, the freer we are as individuals...
