For me, a tattoo is more than ink.
“Years from now, when you look in the mirror and see your tattoo, I want you to still be able to say: “This is me.””
It all started with loving to draw. But over time I realized what truly moved me wasn’t the line itself — it was what that line meant to a person.
Everyone who sits across from me carries a different story. Some want to keep a beautiful memory close. Some never want to forget someone they lost… Some want to leave a hard season behind, and some simply want to see a part of themselves on their skin.
I listen first.
Because leaving a permanent mark on someone’s body is, for me, a matter of deep trust. That’s why I never see a tattoo as only “a beautiful design.” I want what I draw to belong to the person in front of me.
Sometimes behind the smallest line sits a huge story no one else knows. Maybe that’s why I love this work most.
I’m Selen. I love people, their stories, and the small details they leave behind.
Tell me your story. Let’s turn it into something lasting — together.

Notes from people who sat with Selen — on the process, and on the result.
“The flowers sit on my skin as if they grew there. It never felt copied — it felt drawn for me.”
