WHAT YOU
GET

Three interconnected design languages. Each one developed over 25 years. All of them unreplicable.

01
MODERN JAPANESE SURREALISM
Volkan's original design language
Not traditional Japanese tattooing. A design language Volkan developed himself — instantly recognisable, impossible to replicate. Classic iconography rebuilt with bold contemporary flow, dynamic composition and a contrast-driven colour palette. Every piece looks like it's in motion.
02
SURREALIST REALISM
Colour & Black · Grey
Photorealistic foundations broken by surrealist intervention. Hyper-detailed faces, anatomical precision, then distorted by dreamlike elements that shouldn't exist together — but do.
03
ABSTRACT
All scales welcome
Every element engineered around the body it lives on. Placement, flow, muscle structure — nothing accidental. Full colour or black and grey.

How Many Sessions

THE RIGHT
COMMITMENT

The size of your vision determines the number of sessions. Each session is a full day — 5 to 7 hours of focused work.

1

SINGLE SESSION

1 Day · Standalone Piece

Small to medium work — forearms, shoulder pieces, focused compositions. One day. One statement.

Single Session
2

TWO SESSIONS

2 Days · Chest Piece · Shoulder to Hip · Hip to Ankle

Medium-scale work that needs space to breathe. Larger placements that demand two full days of focus.

Two Sessions
3+

FULL SLEEVE

5–7 Sessions · Full Arm · Cohesive Modern Japanese Surrealist Pattern

The full journey. A sleeve built from a single cohesive vision — not a collection of pieces. Every session a chapter.
