Meet Cagla Aykac | Tattoo Artist & Marketing Manager

We had the good fortune of connecting with Cagla Aykac and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cagla, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.
Risk is essential in my life. Taking calculated risks has consistently led to success. I believe that risks should be taken thoughtfully and with proper planning. The risks I’ve taken in my personal and professional life have been pivotal in my journey.

After graduating from the IT department at university, I spent 5.5 years working in marketing for large IT companies. Eventually, I made the bold decision to leave my job and join a tattoo studio, where I was introduced to the art of tattooing. Embracing this new path and becoming a tattoo artist turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made. Now, I have a career that I truly love.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I have a passion for both tattoo art and marketing management. While they may seem like vastly different fields, they actually complement each other well. As a tattoo artist, having a solid understanding of marketing is essential for reaching a wider audience.

My marketing knowledge plays a crucial role in attracting more clients. Additionally, nothing brings me greater joy than seeing the happiness on my customers’ faces when they see their finished tattoos. I have always been committed to improving my skills in tattoo art, and one of my standout features is my ability to create intricate designs with the thinnest lines.

I’ve consistently worked hard and strived to surpass my own limits. The journey has been challenging, but my self-belief and determination have driven me to succeed. I approach every project with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that I bring to life every aspect my customers envision.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Without a doubt, the West Hollywood area is exceptional. You can find everything you need there, from the finest restaurants to the best shopping boutiques. It’s a vibrant place where you’ll never get bored while exploring on foot.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
First and foremost, I would like to thank my parents, Ahizer and Ismail Aykac. They have nurtured my growth since childhood and guided me toward opportunities for development. Their unwavering support has been crucial in every decision I’ve made, from choosing my university major to pursuing my career in tattoo art. Without their encouragement, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

I also want to express my gratitude to the B36 Tattoo family. Founded in August 2023, B36 Tattoo has been a wonderful place for me to grow as an artist. I am deeply thankful for their belief in me, their support, and their trust in my work from the very beginning.
