Tattoo Services in Gaziantep
Hygienic, professional and personal tattoo services in Gaziantep - minimal, fine line, realism, blackwork and more.
MAY Tattoo & Piercing has been tattooing in Gaziantep, Turkey since 2016. Our studio in Şahinbey combines European-standard hygiene with a genuine artistic process - every tattoo starts with your story, not a catalogue.
Tattoo Styles We Work In
We cover the full range of popular styles: minimal, fine line, black & grey realism, blackwork, geometric, line work, watercolor, new school and traditional/color tattoos, plus cover-ups and fully custom designs.
What to Expect
Every session starts with a free consultation - in person, by phone or on WhatsApp - where we discuss your idea, placement and budget. All needles are single-use and opened in front of you; we follow strict sterilization protocols throughout.
Why Choose MAY Tattoo & Piercing?
7+ years of experience, 1,000+ happy clients, and a founder-led studio where the same artist who designs your piece also tattoos it. Read more about our approach on the about page or see real work in our gallery.

Do you tattoo clients who do not speak Turkish?
Yes. Consultations can be handled in English, and every step is explained before the needle touches your skin.
We regularly work with foreign residents, students and visitors in Gaziantep. The consultation - design, placement, size, session length and price - can be handled in English, in person or over WhatsApp before you travel to the studio.
Aftercare instructions are also given in English. This matters more than people expect: most tattoo problems come from misunderstood aftercare, not from the tattoo itself. You will leave knowing exactly what to do for the first two weeks.
How far in advance should I book?
Small pieces can often be done within a few days; larger custom work needs design time before the session.
For a small minimal or fine line piece, a few days of notice is usually enough. Larger custom work is different: the drawing itself takes time, and we do not rush that stage. If you want a bespoke design, contact us one to two weeks ahead so the composition can be prepared and revised properly.
If you are visiting Gaziantep for a limited time, tell us your dates at the first message. We will tell you honestly whether the piece you want can be completed and healed safely within that window.
Is the studio hygienic and what standards do you follow?
Needles are single-use and opened in front of you; equipment is sterilised and surfaces disinfected before every session.
Every needle and tube is single-use. The sealed packaging is opened in front of you at the start of your session - you should never accept anything less, in any studio, in any country.
Work surfaces are disinfected before and after each client, inks are certified, and gloves are changed whenever contamination is possible. Our founder holds a Hygiene and Sterilisation Certificate. If you want to inspect the setup before committing, you are welcome to visit the studio during working hours.
