Pellucid: A Journey ✨

My journey with drawing started when I was very young. At first, I was just copying cartoon characters, but over time it became a way to create stories and explore emotions I couldn’t put into words. Drawing gave me a space to transform things I didn’t fully understand yet — and I think that’s where my visual language started to take shape.

In my teenage years, I began working with Turkish humour magazines, which allowed me to grow quickly. Being part of that world — surrounded by other artists, constant deadlines, and a deep tradition of visual storytelling — helped me find my own rhythm and sharpen my hand.

Meanwhile, I had always been curious about tattooing. But back then, the tools and techniques available didn’t match the kind of fine lines and subtle textures I was drawn to. As tattoo technology evolved, I saw that what I had in mind was now possible — so I began learning everything I could. I watched others, read, experimented, and even tattooed myself to understand how the skin reacts and what it really means to draw on a living surface.

That process eventually led me to what I now call Pellucid Illustration. For me, “pellucid” means more than just something clear — it’s about being honest, vulnerable, and open in the most quiet way. My work often moves between where I am and where I want to be, blending imagination with reality, stillness with emotion. It’s less about decoration and more about reflection.

Each tattoo I make is a conversation. Not loud, but intentional — for those who carry their past, dream forward, and aren’t afraid to be seen in-between ✨ by @by_vas

⠀
— MAISON LABEL TATTOO —

Two little heroes. Two very different missions.

One brings the beer, the other brings the fire — tiny portraits packed with personality, humor and ridiculously cute details.

Because the best tattoos don’t always have to be serious.

Wear the extraordinary.
