What we tattoo
The Artist
İbrahim Yavuz Goradze
I tattoo custom work from my own studio in Dalyan. Every design starts with a conversation — your idea, your story, your body — and becomes a piece made only for you.
I work across realism, blackwork, fine line and colour — from black-and-grey portraits and animals to delicate ornamental pieces. My home studio is in Dalyan, and I also take appointments and guest spots in Istanbul. Clean lines, honest advice, and a calm, private space where first-timers feel at ease.
Hygiene & Safety
Clean, sterile, single-use
Getting a tattoo abroad should feel safe. Here is exactly how we work.
-
Single-use needles
Sealed, pre-packaged needles opened in front of you and disposed of after every session.
-
Autoclave sterilization
All reusable equipment is sterilized in an autoclave. Fresh gloves, barriers and film for each client.
-
Quality inks
Professional, EU-compliant inks and a private, disinfected workstation.
-
18+ and honest advice
Legal age for a tattoo in Turkey is 18 (ID required). If an idea will not age well, we will tell you.
Holiday Aftercare
Made on holiday? Heal it right.
A fresh tattoo and a hot Dalyan summer need a little care. Simple rules for travellers.
-
No sea, pool or mud bath
Keep the tattoo out of the sea, pools, hammam and the Sultaniye mud baths for 2–3 weeks.
-
Hide from the sun
No direct sun on a healing tattoo. Loose clothing by day; SPF only once fully healed.
-
Ready to fly
We can wrap your tattoo in protective film for the flight home and show you how to care for it.
-
We stay in touch

Frequently asked
Do you take walk-ins or should I book?
Both. In peak season (June–September) it is best to message ahead on WhatsApp so we can reserve time and prepare your design, but walk-ins are welcome when there is space.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Prices depend on size, detail and placement, so we quote after a quick chat. Small pieces have a starting price — send a reference on WhatsApp for an estimate. Prices can be discussed in TL, EUR or GBP.
Is it safe to get a tattoo on holiday?
Yes — with proper hygiene and aftercare. We use single-use needles and sterile equipment, and we will show you how to protect it from the sun and sea while it heals.
Can I swim or sunbathe after?
Not for the first 2–3 weeks. No sea, pool, mud baths or direct sun while the tattoo heals. We will give you clear aftercare and can wrap it for your flight.
What languages do you speak?
We work comfortably with English and Turkish speakers and welcome visitors from all over.
What is the minimum age?
The legal age for a tattoo in Turkey is 18. Please bring photo ID.
Do you tattoo in Istanbul?
Yes — the main studio is in Dalyan, but İbrahim also works in Istanbul by appointment and on guest spots during the year. Message on WhatsApp with your idea and dates and we will arrange a time and place.
