Ayhan Karadag is a Turkish tattoo artist best-known for his beautiful minimal and colorful tattoo designs. His passion for art started when he was only 11 years old and for him, art is his fun, his culture, his lover, his ritual, his everything.
During his artistic journey, the Istanbul-based Karadag experimented with different kinds of art. He made ancient Greek musical instruments, clay, and wooden sculptures, played with watercolors, and draw with pencil. However, he discovered that his true love is doing art on the human body.
“While making art, I realized that a person’s body is the most valuable material and that I want to make people happy when they look at my work on their bodies…” the artist shared on Bored Panda. “I don’t think there’s anything more gratifying than carrying the fairy-tale design that one imagines in his body all his life.”
When doing his magic, he loves to tell the fairy-tale stories which happen in our dreams, he creates beautiful stories fusioned with nature and animals.
He documents his work on Instagram where he has attracted almost 100k followers. Scroll down and check out his work below.
