Great tattoos don’t happen by accident—they’re designed with intention and executed with precision. Serdar Bölükbaşı is a Denver tattoo artist specializing in black & grey realism and micro-realism tattoos, known for calm communication, thoughtful design, and results that hold their clarity for years.
Craft That Puts Detail First
Realism is more than “copying a photo.” Serdar builds depth with balanced contrast, soft gradients, and carefully placed highlights so your piece reads naturally in any light. For micro-realism, he prioritizes line economy and value control, making small tattoos look crisp without overworking the skin.
Custom Design, Zero Templates
Your story drives the artwork. Every project starts with a short conversation about meaning, body placement, and longevity. Serdar considers muscle flow and joint movement so the stencil fits your anatomy and the final tattoo heals clean and readable.

Pricing & Sessions
Every realism piece is unique. Final cost depends on size, placement, and detail. Micro-realism often fits in a single session; larger portraits or multi-element designs may require multiple sittings. You’ll receive a clear, written estimate before booking—no surprises.
Aftercare That Protects Your Investment
You’ll leave with step-by-step aftercare covering cleansing, moisturization, and sun exposure. Skip pools and tanning while healing, and use SPF after healing to preserve blacks and subtle mid-tones. Good aftercare keeps realism fresh and legible for the long run.
