CONTEMPORARY ART AND TATTOO STUDIO
At Painted Soul Arts, we are dedicated to producing high quality artwork and the best possible experience for our customers. We see tattooing as an art form, a sharing of experiences, and a way to express who we are. We believe that every person and every idea deserves to be treated with respect and skill.
We are located in a bright and spacious storefront on Walnut St. in Montclair, NJ.
The front portion of our space serves as a seating area and exhibition space for artwork.

THE OWNER
Cinar is a part of Istanbul's first generation of contemporary tattoo artists. He started by making his own machines from household items before tattoo equipment was available in Turkey. Cinar has over twenty-five years of experience in the business, and is also the owner of Cinar Arts, a high end tattoo studio and art gallery in the luxury fashion district of Nisantasi, Istanbul. He studied traditional Turkish arts at the Mimar Sinan University for Fine Arts and Architecture. After traveling and working around the U.S., Cinar chose to continue his art in Montclair, which he values for its diversity, vibrant culture, and artistic heart. Cinar is specialized and known for the “Avant-garde” style of tattooing, which is unexpectedly mixing styles and using the body as a living canvas. Following the muscle and bone structure of the body to create a flowing work of art is his passion when he is making tattoos. He believes tattoos are not just a piece of art or some nice accessory, they are a connection between the person’s body and the soul, and he strives to make each tattoo an outer expression of this.
