Artist Transforms Childhood Photographs Into Fashionable Tattoos

Alican Gorgu (aka PigmentNinja), a Turkish tattoo artist who resigned from his monotonous office job to pursue a career as a tattoo artist. And now, just a few months ago, there’s an exciting update on the path he’s chosen.

Alican has transferred valuable childhood memories from the picture book to a new permanent home – the skin – using a simple design he calls “Retro Minimal.”

The end effect is a streamlined depiction of memory, with a bit of detail lost through time but the essential elements intact and still evident and vivid.
