Pro Team Artist:
With 20 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.
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.
Inquiry → Personal reply → Online consultation → Project planning → Design refinement → Appointment day.
Every tattoo is designed from the ground up around your story. After your inquiry, we'll discuss your vision during an online consultation and create a clear project plan. Before your appointment, we'll refine the concept through reference images and ongoing communication. On the day of your session, you'll review two custom design options, make any final refinements together with me, and once you're completely happy with the design, we'll begin creating your tattoo.
