Born and raised in Izmir amidst a backdrop of warmth, Pinar’s journey began with an academic pursuit at Hacettepe University in Ankara, where a passion for French language and literature flourished, leaving an indelible mark on her heart.

Recognized for a natural talent in drawing since childhood, her formative years were spent immersed in the streets, fostering a deep fascination for fairy tales, cartoons, and all things fantastical. Encouraged by family and environment, creativity thrived alongside academia, leading to a pivotal shift towards art as university drew to a close.

Embracing drawing with newfound dedication, her focus evolved towards character design and animation, eventually segueing into the realm of tattooing with a stroke of luck. Tattoo designs intricately weave together storytelling and childhood nostalgia elements, capturing life's subtle nuances and hidden meanings while delicate lines and soft hues seamlessly meld with skin, creating a timeless allure.

Tattooing, while a significant milestone, serves as a launchpad for broader artistic aspirations, marking just the beginning of an ongoing creative odyssey.
