MELEK TASTEKIN

I’ve been tattooing for nine years and am the owner of The Company Tattoo in Reno, Nevada. I like black and gray, blackwork and traditional tattooing.

Who or where do you get your inspiration from? Everything

What advice would you give to someone about getting his or her first tattoo? (A tattoo virgin) Find an artist whose work you really like, see if you vibe with them, and then just let them do what they do.

What did your family and friends think about you getting into the tattoo business?

My mom has always supported my art; she even bought my first machine. She’s always been my number-one fan.

What would you say is your favorite part of the job? The girls I work with are so talented and just phenomenal humans. Them and our clients, I love meeting and getting to know them.
