Çinar Topakli
Cinar is one of Istanbul's first generation of contemporary tattoo artists. Tattooing for over two decades, Çınar started by making his own machines before tattoo equipment was available in Turkey. He has over twenty years of experience in the business, and is the owner of Çinar Arts, a high end tattoo studio and art gallery in the luxury fashion district of Nisantasi. He studied traditional Turkish arts at the Mimar Sinan University for Fine Arts and Architecture.
Emma has been tattooing since 2013. She completed her Bachelor of Arts degree in Painting and Sculpture at Brandeis University, earning High Honors in Fine Arts. After attending university, Emma continued to pursue a career in the arts, first in New York City, then while traveling in India and Turkey. Emma completed her tattoo apprenticeship at Çinar Arts in Istanbul, where she met her husband and business partner, Çinar Topakli. They have since returned to Montclair, Emma's hometown, to open their second business, Painted Soul Arts.
