How To Design and Tattoo Colour Illustration with Volkan Tattooz | Tutorial
We had the pleasure of sitting down with Volkan Demirci, the artist known for his surrealism and modern Japanese tattooing, to watch him create one of his vibrant, painterly tattoos from start to finish. In this NEW Killer Ink YouTube tutorial, Volkan talks us through his mesmerising style while designing and tattooing a bold piece that looks like a Polaroid-style painting taped onto the skin. With bright brush strokes, strong contrasts, and incredible colour work, it’s a perfect look into how he builds his tattoos. We had an amazing time filming with Volkan and learning more about his process. 👏 --- Check out Volkan's supplies here: https://www.killerinktattoo.co.uk/new...

It has been created to inspire and share knowledge within the professional tattoo community. It is not designed to teach beginners how to tattoo and should never be seen as a substitute for a proper apprenticeship under an experienced mentor. Tattooing is a highly skilled craft that requires years of training, practice, and responsibility. --- Make sure to check out Killer Ink Tattoo's website and social media channels below!
