Tattoo Artist Uses Ink To Make Whimsical Designs

I have two tattoos and I've been fascinated with tattoo art for quite some time. So I'm always contemplating getting a new piece. The hardest part is deciding on what kind of tattoo and style to go with.

I recently found an amazing artist who creates whimsical tattoos that are absolutely gorgeous. These pics are making me want a tattoo even more. Check out his imaginative work to see for yourself.

Ayhan Karadag is a tattoo artist from Istanbul, Turkey who's been drawing since he was eleven years old.

He's always been involved in making some kind of art.

Over the years he's created handmade ancient Greek musical instruments, a variety of sculptures from clay and wood, played with watercolors and experimented with many colorful pencil drawings.

He's a true and seasoned artist!

But what Ayhan has discovered through his artistic journey is that his favorite canvas to work with is human skin.

Judging by his work, he's definitely on to something.

He's been fascinated by fairytales and all kinds of whimsical designs.

He's even currently working on a fairytale book and some of his designs have already been inked.

Ayhan believes that a human body is the most valuable material he can work with.

Giving someone a beautiful and creative tattoo is the best possible outcome.

He's very passionate about both nature and animals.

And he truly wants to recreate those childhood fantasies and dreams one may have had growing up as a child.

It's also very important for Ayhan to give his clients creative work that will evoke a very positive feeling.

I guess that's why his tattoo designs are so whimsical.

I'm super impressed with the detail Ayhan is able to achieve with his tattoo designs.

They're so beautiful and colorful. They literally jump out of the subject's skin.

I would absolutely love to have one of his cute and fun tattoos on my skin.

It would be such a joyful feeling to look at it every day.

OMG, isn't this the most adorable thing you've ever seen?

I can't actually believe this is a tattoo. It's so clear and vivid. It looks just like a cartoon.

His tattoo designs and his flawless execution spare absolutely no details.

Every little aspect of this tattoo is so well thought out. I can't get over the creativity here.

Check out this cute underwater scene.

I'm obsessed with his seahorse design here. He's able to capture the depth of character of each creature and add fantastic color.

I'm in love with the whimsical nature of Ayhans designs.

Looking at these playful scenes makes me want to be a kid again. That's how happy this makes me feel.

Wow, I wish I could just jump on a plane and fly to Turkey ASAP to get one of these amazing tattoo designs inked on my skin.

They're just incredible.
