Discover the art of Çağdaş Al
My passion for tattooing began in 2007, and I have been working professionally as a tattoo artist since 2011. For around ten years I ran my own studio, Çağdaş Al Tattoo Studio, in Turkey and took part in national and international conventions and competitions.
Since July 2024 I have been living and working in Kassel as an independent tattoo artist – focusing on custom designs, small realism, realistic tattoos and cover-ups that take each client’s story and anatomy into account.
Selected works

Yes. A deposit is required to book an appointment. Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable and are applied to the final price of your tattoo.

I highly recommend having a nutritious meal and staying hydrated before your appointment. Avoid alcohol the night before to reduce bleeding and ensure better results. Remember to shower, moisturise and get a good night’s sleep – you’re in good hands.
