Fine line tattoo artist
Every linefollowsthe body.
Anatomy-led tattoos, drawn by a fine line tattoo artist with an engineer’s precision.
Where I tattoo
Three cities. One line.
A permanent studio in the heart of Brussels, with regular guest spots in Antwerp and Amsterdam.
About
Every body has its own movement. I design around it.
Every design starts from the anatomy underneath it: muscle direction, bone, movement. That is how a piece sits naturally today and still reads cleanly twenty years from now.

Approach
The body in flow.
A body is never still. It curves, stretches and moves, so every line is drawn to move with it, not against it.
- 01 · Flow
Designs follow the direction of the muscle, never against it.
- 02 · Longevity
Line weight and spacing chosen to age gracefully.
- 03 · Precision
An engineer’s eye for symmetry and proportion.

“Mijn eerste keer bij Mert was zeer aangenaam! Hij werkte met precisie en liefde aan mijn ontwerp. Ik voelde bijna niks van de prachtige fineline tattoo die hij op mijn rib heeft gezet. Nog altijd super blij mee en ik kom zeker terug!! :)”
“Premier tattoo, première expérience et malgré ça j’ai été très très à l’aise directement! Une flash day au top, un travail rapide, et de qualité. Le tattoo est magnifique 😍”
“I had a trip booked to visit Brussels from the United States and knew I wanted to get a tattoo to commemorate my trip. When I found Mert, I immediately booked an appointment! WOW—the whole process was incredible. We chatted back and forth about the design a few times before landing on what we wanted to do, and the execution is perfection. The atmosphere is so fun, bright, and the perfect tattoo shop. Everything was incredibly clean, intentional, and by-the-book. If you’re thinking about a tattoo in Brussels, I can’t recommend Mert more!”
“Mert has done 7 tattoos for me so far, and each one is a wonderful work of art. He is incredibly meticulous and detail-oriented, both in the design phase and during the application process. Everything is spotlessly clean and adheres strictly to hygiene rules. He is also very attentive and always listens carefully to your requests. I definitely recommend him! 🙋🏼♀️🥰✨🫶🏼”

“Skvělá zkušenost, přátelský a velmi profesionální přístup a krásné tetování. Moc děkuju! 😊”
Smaller, simpler pieces start at €150. The final price depends on size, placement and detail, so send me your idea with references for a proper quote.
Usually between 2 weeks and 2 months, depending on the season. The earlier you reach out, the more dates we can choose from.
Let me know as soon as you can. If you change your mind within 24 hours of paying, your deposit is refunded in full. After that it is kept, because it covers the design time already spent. Unfortunately, moving the appointment to another date isn’t possible: a change counts as a cancellation.
Yes, 18, with no exceptions. Parental consent does not replace it.
No. Fine line work does not have the density needed to properly cover an existing tattoo.
I don’t recommend it. Many stronger creams constrict blood flow in the skin, which can lead to patchier saturation as it heals. Talk to me about pain beforehand instead.
Book
Book a session.
Tell me about your idea, the size and the placement. I’ll take it from there.
