With more than 19 years of experience, Can Gurgul is a self-taught tattoo artist whose work blends precision, emotion, and design. Coming from a background in graphic design, he began tattooing in his hometown, developing his craft independently and with quiet dedication.
After Inked chapter now based in Hustle Butter Tattoo Art Gallery in SoHo, Can specializes in black-and-gray, fine-line, micro-realism, dot-work, and hyper-realism tattoos in his unique style. His artistry stands out in cover-ups and scar concealments, where his signature whip-shading technique allows him to transform existing tattoos and scars with seamless detail and balance.
For Can, each project is more than an image — it’s a story told through form, texture, and light. His approach remains deeply personal, aiming to create tattoos that not only complement the body but also carry meaning and empowerment for each client.

Coverups and fixups represent one of the most intricate tattoo processes, demanding a deep understanding of contrast and shading to effectively transform old tattoos into new artworks.

This approach ensures the final design is harmonious and visually striking, elevating the tattoo beyond mere concealment. By integrating advanced techniques, I achieve results that refresh and rejuvenate existing tattoos, offering clients a new and confident expression of their body art that ages beautifully over time.
