What is huginnink?
huginnink is a tattoo studio in Alanya, in Antalya province, Türkiye. We make custom tattoos: every design is shaped together with the person who will wear it.
The name comes from Huginn, one of the two ravens on Odin's shoulders in Norse tradition, the raven of thought. It reflects how we see the work. Every tattoo begins with a thought, and our job is to carry that thought into a line and the line onto skin.
Two words guide us: trust and freedom. We take the time to listen and to answer your questions, and we never rush a decision that will stay with you for life. It is your body and your story. We help shape the idea, but the final choice is always yours.
How do you get a tattoo with us?
The process is a conversation, and it starts with a short message. A few sentences about what you have in mind are enough. You do not need a finished design, only a starting point.
A message or a request form is not a confirmed booking. It is the first step of a conversation, and the session date is agreed once the idea feels right.
- Share your idea on WhatsApp or through the request form
- We write back to talk it through with you
- Idea, placement and size are shaped together
- We agree a session date that suits you
Who do we welcome?
We welcome people who live in Alanya all year and people who are only here for a few weeks. Many residents prefer to plan quietly in the calmer winter months. Many visitors write to us before their trip so that the tattoo can fit around their stay.
You are just as welcome if this is your first tattoo. Questions about pain, placement or healing are normal, and we would rather answer them early than leave you guessing.
Some people arrive with a clear picture. Others arrive with only a feeling, a word or a memory they cannot quite draw yet. Both are good places to start, because the design grows out of the conversation.
What kind of work do we do?
Our focus is custom work that is drawn for one person and one place on the body. We do not hand out a catalogue to pick from. Instead we ask what you want to carry and where it should live.
Within that, we can help with the following.
- Custom designs shaped with you
- Fine line and minimal line work
- Cover-ups, assessed honestly case by case
- First tattoos, with time for every question
- Tattoos planned around a holiday stay
- Aftercare guidance for the weeks that follow
Why talk to us before deciding?
A tattoo is easier to love when it has been thought through. Talking early gives us room to suggest changes in size or placement, and gives you room to change your mind without any pressure.
Each tattoo is quoted individually after we have talked, so the answer fits your idea rather than a general list.
