From Türkiye to the U.S.: An International Tattoo Artist Recognized for Excellence in Black & Grey Realism
DENVER, Colo. – As tattooing continues to gain recognition as a highly skilled visual art form, artists with long-term professional experience and technical mastery are increasingly shaping the global tattoo industry. Among them is Muhammet Hamza Gunes, an internationally active tattoo artist whose career began in Türkiye and has since expanded to major competitive platforms in the United States. With many years of professional experience in the tattoo industry, Gunes developed his artistic foundation in Türkiye, where he worked extensively as a professional tattoo artist and within studio-based environments. Over time, he expanded his career internationally, participating in large-scale tattoo conventions across Europe and the United States, where his work has been evaluated by professional juries in highly competitive settings.
Gunes is particularly recognized for his work in Black & Grey Realism, a tattoo style that requires advanced technical precision, strong anatomical knowledge, and a sophisticated understanding of light, shadow, and depth. His tattoos are frequently noted for their photographic realism, refined tonal transitions, and consistency across large-scale compositions.
Within the past one to two years, Gunes has received a total of 24 awards at international tattoo competitions. During a single major competition, he earned 13 awards in one event, an outcome considered rare in the tattoo industry. In addition, he achieved the uncommon distinction of winning all awards within a single category, securing first, second, and third place in the same category at one competition.
According to industry standards, repeated awards across multiple competitions and categories indicate sustained professional recognition rather than isolated success. Gunes’s achievements reflect long-term dedication, technical mastery, and consistent excellence within international tattoo competitions.
Today, Muhammet Hamza Gunes continues his professional career in the United States, contributing to the evolving landscape of contemporary tattoo artistry and representing the growing international presence of Türkiye-trained artists within the U.S. tattoo scene.
