Solyt Tattoo Studio Istanbul

Tattoo As A Souvenir

"Studio Solyt is a hidden tattoo studio by the Bosphorus. It feels more like an art studio, with creative vibes and a fun team. Ready for something timeless?"

Ever thought of getting a tattoo as a souvenir from a city?
If yes, make it from Studio Solyt — a hidden creative gem in Emirgan.

From the outside, it’s quiet and unassuming. But step inside, and you’re welcomed into a bright, modern space with a glass ceiling, natural textures, and an effortlessly cool decor. It feels more like an art studio than a tattoo shop.

Located just steps from the Bosphorus, Studio Solyt is surrounded by greenery and calm. Before or after your session, you can even take a walk by the sea, maybe visit Sabanci Museum or grab a stylish bite at  Zeyta Emirgan. This studio definitely deserves a spot on your map.

The vibe? The team here is warm, energetic, and super communicative. They listen carefully to your ideas. They make you feel comfortable from the very beginning.

Studio Solyt is not just about tattoos. It’s about experience, creativity, and connection. Each artist here has their own unique style. The diversity is truly impressive.

If you want a tattoo that means something, this is the place.

If you want a unique artistic style, this is the place.

If you want to meet a passionate, fun, and communicative team, this is the place.

So if you are in the city, go to Emirgan.

Find Studio Solyt.

Step inside.

Meet the team.

And let them create something timeless for you.

Be sure to book ahead, because Studio Solyt runs on creative flow, not clockwork.

Banyan

High-end Asian fusion in Ortakoy

"Banyan" is my bar/restaurant of choice in Istanbul's Ortaköy for a drink or dinner after work. In their terrace you'll feel as if you're on a ship's deck.

Turkish Tea

Enjoy a glass of tea

Turkish Tea is had after each meal, and it's a reflection of hospitality. When in Istanbul, have it at small local tea houses in Sultanahmet.

Ethem Tezçakar

Best Turkish coffee in town

"Ethem Tezçakar" Coffee makes much better coffee than other places in Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, so it's important to visit this one small shop!

Kariye Museum

Church of St. Saviour

"Kariye Museum" is, for me, the most interesting Byzantine church in Istanbul after the Hagia Sophia. If you have some time, I definitely recommend a visit.
