We’re looking forward to introducing you to Bicem Sinik. Check out our conversation below.
Bicem, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What is a normal day like for you right now?
My typical daytime routine includes creating designs for my upcoming tattoo appointments, going to the gym, cycling outside, and cooking vegan snacks and food. On weekends, I’d like to go outside for parties, exhibitions, and galleries.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I graduated as a graphic designer and spent eight years working for advertising agencies. I’ve been tattooing for the past 14 years and moved to New York six years ago. Since I am familiar with all design programs and have learned illustration and minimalistic graphic styles at art high school and university. My tattoo designs evolved into a geometric and minimalistic illustrator style, which was uncommon 14 years ago. Almost no one was creating those kinds of designs and styles. I also enjoy using very fine lines and light engraving or dot work style shading in my tattoos.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I used to be a graphic designer, which I enjoyed for the first few years, but I always felt trapped and not as free as I would like to be in terms of design. So I knew there would be another way for me to express myself, but I didn’t realize it would be tattooing.
So when I first started tattooing, it was simply a hobby or a way for me to experiment with different canvas for painting. But I discovered a passion for tattooing and believe I introduced a new style of tattooing.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
I’m never completely satisfied with my work as a designer; one day I design or paint something, and the next day I hate it. And, as a designer, I am constantly striving to create something new and different, which exhausts and challenges my mind.
As I get older, there are a lot of things I want to archive, but I don’t think I have enough time or energy. Many days of my life, it has constantly consumed me in a negative way. I am constantly striving to create something new and fresh, which exhausts and challenges my brain.
As I am not that young anymore, there are many things I want to archive, but I feel I don’t have enough time or energy to do so. Many days of my life it’s constantly consumes me in a bad way.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Is the public version of you the real you?
I don’t think so because I don’t share my personal life on social media and I never wonder how others’ lives are going. Even close friends, as long as they want to share.
I am a loner and enjoy spending time alone. I believe that being alone is addictive, and it is very nice not to have to deal with anyone.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. If immortality were real, what would you build?
That would be amazing. Many people despise the idea that if you are the only one who lives, your entire family and friends will die. I don’t think I’m the type of person who becomes overly attached to anything or anyone. That’s why I had to move to New York on my own.
If I had immortality. I would definitely become something else, such as studying or being a doctor for a while, then acting in theater or being a musician, and the list goes on.
