Okan Uçkun is a tattoo artist from Istanbul, Turkey, currently living in New York, who creates minimal geometric tattoos based on symmetry, geometric shapes, lines and dots. Do you remember our last post about him on Bored Panda?
He has a very unique style which combines minimal but complex elements and creates surreal tattoos which are open for artistic interpretation. Therefore, he is considered to be the master of some of the most popular tattoo art styles today.
Also, it is worth to mention that this artist defied the strictly taboo opinion of tattoos in his home country in order to fullful his dream to become what he is today!
Uçkun measures his clients body measurements and creates unique design to the specific person. He prepares three designs and the client chooses the one he wants to have as a tattoo.
If you're into contemporary and a mix of modern arts tattoos, you will definitely love his art!

This looks like tribal symbols from an alien culture. Delicate and beautiful.
so beautiful...the combination of natural elements and geometrical elements is a perfect balance.
Pity this one is at number 32 , because it deserves to get more up votes than it has!
My inner feminist getting furious about the fact that the women have to cover up and the men don't ... grrr.
I got an Okan tattoo this year and it was one of the best experiences of my life. His work radiates his presence. Smart. Kind. Dark. Safe.
This tat is interesting for its simplicity, yet dynamic becsuse of the break in the line. Makes you stop and wonder.
Okan tattooed me this year and it was a dream. He is masterful at translating a story into an image and then fitting it to the body. TY, Okan!!! Glad to see you featured here!
All of them are well-designed and there are many stories behind them. Okan is a great artist, just tell him the story or the idea you wanna carry on your body, sit back and witness the miracle.
He is a great artist and great person. i love his all the unique art works.
Wow! Amazing work. I love it. I can only imagine how hard it is to tattoo just a simple straight line on a uneven and stretchable surface. These take talent (and love for geometry, of course)
I am not a tattoo enthusiast, but I like this style very much. But how do they look in a few years after ageing?
Technically impressive but as body art goes... Not very appealing (to my taste)
Following on insta as of now. I would love to get more tattoos but college is expensive lol
These are all truly wonderful. Delicate and dynamic at once. I love to see talent expressed in art and these are very well rendered.

Oooo müthiş - Oh weew great job.He deserves Turkish kebab and baklava at gurbet elde everyday.
