The Artist
MASTERED
THEM ALL
Black & Grey · Color Realism · Portraits
Most tattoo artists have one style they do well. Oktay has mastered them all. An international award-winning artist based in Denver, he specializes in black and grey, color realism, realism, portraits, and cover-ups — with a particular gift for large-scale work including full sleeves and back pieces.
Originally from Turkey, Oktay has been perfecting his craft since 2010 — bringing a quiet intensity to every piece. He is humble, deeply passionate about his craft, and sought out by clients who want the right artist to trust with their vision — not just someone to fill the space.
He has earned over 10 awards across Colorado, Los Angeles, Chicago, and beyond — and continues to push his craft at Cleopatra Ink Denver, Colorado's most awarded tattoo studio.
