I started tattooing in Istanbul, my hometown, in 2015. I design unique, anatomy-driven tattoos using traditional Turkish marbling techniques (aka #Sernakkab). It started as final project for a class during my bachelor at Marmara Fine Arts University. Thanks to tattooing, I moved to Berlin in 2021 and that’s where my style sharpened and refined. And since 2025, I work in New York under the extraordinary artist visa. And I do guest spots in Los Angeles and San Francisco every couple monhts. You can visit nakkabdoesit.com to further read my process and see more of my work.

@NAKKABDOESIT IS AT NOIRE 1.

Nakkab is an Istanbul-born artist based in New York. His tattoo practice “Sernakkab” uses traditional Turkish marbling techniques to create abstract, anatomy-driven designs rooted in his background in sports and his fine arts education. Beyond tattooing, he works with surface design, conceptual art and photography, exploring form, movement and material.

In this exhibition, you will see more of his work across different mediums. Nakkab is also part of the curatorial team behind Noire 1.
