The Ringo Jets
"Open Sesame"
Collective Exhibition
‘‘All men are enemies, all animals are comrades’’
At the "Open Sesame" Exhibition on December 4th, 2018, The Ringo Jets, a renowned Turkish rock band, handpicked just ten artists to collaborate with. Honored to be among them, they chose me specifically for my unique tattoo work. They wanted my artistry to complement their latest album, produced by Tommaso Colliva, famed for his work with bands like Muse and Franz Ferdinand. Sponsored by a globally recognized brand with partnerships with many well-known brands.
Our collaboration transformed their music into visual narratives, showcasing how tattoos and music could blend seamlessly. It was a creative fusion, where each brushstroke and lyric intertwined to create something extraordinary. Being part of this exclusive collaboration was a highlight of my artistic journey, marking a moment where music inspired ink, and art became a living expression of sound.
