Mark Duhan:                                                    
Born and rasied right here in New Milford. I have been involved in art as long as I can remember. I fell in love with tattooing many years ago. I am known for my perfect lines, vibrant colors and deep 3-dimensional black & greys. I take on every new tattoo with a "this one will be my best yet" attitude. I never let any client feel rushed or less important than another client. I naturally have a newer school artistic style using varying line weights and multiple light sources. I also enjoy tattooing photo realism such as portraits. I thrive on designing one of a kind tattoos working with the client. I have some flash art but it is used just as a reference. No one wants to bump into someone else with the same tattoo. I am certified from both The American Tattooing Institute and The Blood Borne Pathogen Prevention Training Institute. My prices are not cheap because my work isn't. I often devote an entire day or more to a client to achieve their tattooing goal. I am not a "stamp it on and get them out" type of tattoo artist. Please be patient as I often have a waiting list.
Pricing and Availability:
I tattoo by appointment only and commonly have a three or four month waiting list. I do charge at an hourly rate and can give pretty accurate estimates. I do require $100 deposit before starting any art work. Your deposit will be credited towards your tattoo at the end of the last sitting. Appointment changes must be made prior to 48 hours before your appointment or the deposit is forfeited. I tattoo Monday-Friday 10am-8pm and Saturday 10am-6pm.

I am both the body piercer and an owner at Skin Deep Ink. Originally from the South, I have lived in New England for 7 years.  I have two beautiful daughters ages 8 and 12.  I got my first tattoo at age 38. Yes, I’m revealing my age but my point is it’s never too late!  Now I have four lovely tattoos all done by Mark and of course I’m planning my next.  Mark and I opened Skin Deep Ink in June of 2008 and things are going great!  We appreciate the kind welcome we have received from the people of New Milford and look forward to meeting you even if it’s just to drop in and say hello and take a look around. We also sell body jewelry and other accessories.  Thank you for checking us out!

John Kang:
It's an honor for me to be a part of the family at Skin Deep Ink. Being as passionate as I am in art, it's lack of growth in our era is frustrating. It's exciting to me to be a part of an industry such as tattooing where the medium is growing and expanding as impressively as it has in the past few years.

I want your tattoo to be perfect. I'll never let a client walk out the door with a tattoo that isn't exactly what they were hoping for regardless of size or intricacy. There are no "bad days" allowed in the tattoo industry as an artist.

I love tattooing realism in color and black and grey. I think that value in shades matter more than anything else in that style of tattooing, so doing black and grey work not only strengthens me in that area, but in color tattoos as well. When not tattooing realistic images, I tend to lean towards a more new-school style in which I create as much movement in free-handed line work and color values as possible. 

I tattoo seven days a week, Monday-Friday 10am-8pm, Saturdays 10am-6pm, and Sundays by appointment only.

First of all we create a sterile field. We disinfect before and after every client with Sanitex Plus. We install sterile barriers on every object that may be touched during the tattoo or piercing process. We also change gloves anytime we may need to breach those barriers. We prepare the skin area with antiseptic prior to tattooing or piercing and after any breaks. We use as many single use products as are available including tattoo and piercing needles, gloves, ink caps, clip cord covers, bottle bags, seat covers, handle bags, machine bags, individual bottled water, ointment pouches, cups and much more. Any tool or product that is not a single use goes through a careful and lengthy sterilization procedure. Starting with rinsing and scrubbing in a foot controlled sink, then put in an ultrasonic cleaner with Alconox. Rinsed again and placed in Glutaraldehyde for a ten hour minimum resting period. Then rinsed, dried and placed in sterilization pouches. We then finish our process in our newest technology steam autoclave. Our autoclave goes through monthly third party testing to ensure it is working to its fullest potential. Our sterilization room is separated from everything else and disinfected daily with Sanitex Plus.
