Our Story:
Family owned tattoo studio
​since 2008

Founded in 2008 by Mark Duhan and Tina Kirby, Skin Deep Ink Tattoo has grown from a small local studio into one of Connecticut's most trusted tattoo shops. What began as a shared passion for art and self-expression has become a thriving destination for custom tattoos, professional body piercings, and exceptional client care.

For over 15 years, Mark and Tina have built Skin Deep on the belief that every tattoo tells a story and that every client deserves a clean, welcoming, and professional experience. Mark is renowned across Connecticut for his new-school and photo-realism tattoos, while Tina leads piercing and studio operations with a focus on safety, professionalism, and personalized client care.

The team also includes talented artists such as Cracker Joe Swider, specializing in illustrative color work, Olivia Kirby (Kirby), focusing on fine-line and botanical designs, and Tallulah Rae, exploring neo-traditional styles. Together, these Connecticut tattoo artists combine creativity, technical skill, and genuine care to deliver custom designs that reflect each client’s individuality.
