ATTATURK TATTOOS ON THE RISE IN TURKEY


AL ARABIYA/DUBAI:
Tattoos of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk’s signature, founder of the modern day secular Turkey, is becoming more of a popular choice among secular Turks.

“This tattoo is getting more and more popular every day, especially among young people,” Murat Arti, a tattoo artist and the owner of Tattoo Murat in the Sisli district of Istanbul, told the UAE-based THE NATIONAL newspaper.


“They think the government is trying to make them forget Ataturk. The government is even trying to change the constitution now.”
IS IT A SIGN OF THE TIMES OR TOO LITTLE TOO LATE?

  2. Ironically, and also comically, it just so happens that this iconic signature of Attaturk's was designed/made for him by an Armenian.
