Who we are
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 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 enjoy tattooing photo realism such as portraits and flowers. I thrive on designing one of a kind tattoos and working with the client. No one wants to bump into someone else with the same tattoo. 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.
Pricing and Availability:
I tattoo by appointment only and commonly have a six-eight month waiting list. I do charge at an hourly rate and can give estimates, when possible. 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 Wednesday-Saturday 10am-6pm.

Tina Kirby:
I am both the body piercer and and co-owner at Skin Deep Ink. Originally from the South, I have lived in Connecticut since 2004. I got my first tattoo at age 38 from Mark. Yes, I’m revealing my age but my point is it’s never too late! Mark and I opened Skin Deep Ink in June of 2008 and owe the success of our studio to our awesome customers who love and collect tattoos and our amazing team of talented artists! 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. Thank you for checking us out!

- Jeff Ash:
I enjoy all styles of tattooing but tend to gravitate more towards Neo-Traditional.
I am available for appointments Tuesday - Saturday.
Hope to see you soon!
Olivia Kirby A.K.A. Kirby:
I have been an artist since I was a wee child, but I have been tattooing since 2020.
I pride myself on my flexibility, but specialize in line-work and stippling and enjoy a good botanical!
I'm available Sunday-Thursday. I prefer to book my appointments via Instagram DMs @kirby.tattoos. (I can also be reached via the shop phone number.)

Tallulah Rae
I have wanted to be a tattoo artist since I was in middle school!
I graduated from Western Connecticut State University in 2022 with a BA in Illustration and began my training at Skin Deep Ink in November of 2023. I'm interested in specializing in neo-traditional and ornamental styles, but am always open to trying new things.
I am typically available Tuesday-Saturday, but I post my availability weekly on my Instagram account @ratkingarts. I prefer to schedule appointments via DM there if possible.
I'd love to hear from you!~
