STORY
Hi, I’m Sude Erdem,
I work primarily in realism, drawn to detail, depth, and technically demanding pieces — while still enjoying the freedom to explore different styles when a project calls for it. Tattooing has been my full-time practice since 2020, shaped by a strong focus on precision and long-term craftsmanship.
Over the years, my work has found recognition beyond my own studio. I’ve been fortunate to receive multiple international awards and to take part as a jury member at various tattoo conventions across Europe. In parallel, I became the first Turkish tattoo artist to release a personally signed professional paint set.
