SEM TATTOO
I’m Semih, a Romanian immigrant whose journey began in Ankara and has now taken me across borders. My love for drawing has always been a constant in my life, and after finishing my studies, I decided to combine this passion with tattooing. I’ve always been that kid fascinated by every form of art, and today, I’ve dedicated myself fully to the art of tattooing.
What started in Ankara led me to Istanbul, and eventually to England, where I’ve worked in various cities. Now, I’m based in London, but I ever forget my loyal clients in Turkey. I still return to Turkey for exclusive sessions when I open up my calendar.
Tattooing, for me, is more than just a profession. It brings back the joy I felt as a kid, sketching whatever came to mind. But now, it’s about leaving a permanent story on someone’s skin, becoming part of their life in a meaningful way. I specialize in fine line and floral tattoos, but I don’t like being boxed into a single style. Experimenting with different designs excites me just as much.
I believe in continuous growth and embracing new challenges, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me. Let’s create something amazing together!
