Nestor did an amazing cover up for me. Santiago copied a drawing I did exactely down to the tiny scribbels. These people are very talented and proud of their art. They want to make sure their work is excellant.

Got my first tattoo with Andres yesterday. Couldn't be happier with the outcome. The attention to detail is simply unmatched. Andres took his time with every detail and made sure I was completely satisfied. Overall, incredible experience and would highly recommend to anyone.

I’ve been coming to this place for the last 12 years. The owner Ben has always been great to me. I still remember the 1st conversation I had with him. I knew who he was. A few years before I moved to the Midwest I found his shop on-line.I knew he would hook me up with great a great artist. At age 42 I got my 1st tattoo now 53 I now have over 20 tattoos. I went into one other shop before Deluxe to have a consultation but we didn’t gel. The employees from the front desk to the artists are always willing to answer any questions. I’ve been coming here for 12 years and have no plans to go to another shop! -Troy Taylor (Artist)

Great place, great artists, clean, fairly priced. I worked with Troy and he did a cover up of 4 previous tattoos on one arm, and one huge one on the other, and tied in a tiger that I had done years ago. I LOVE it and throughout the process he was very professional, clean, insightful and now you can’t even tell that any tattoos were covered up! They have a lot of talented tattoo artists here who all specialize in different things, but are all equally impressive!

I’ve had work done by David, Troy, and Jason and I love each piece I’ve had done. My husband has had work done by Troy as well and other artist I don’t know the names of at Deluxe and they all look fantastic. The consistency of talent at Deluxe is the best part. Everyone in there is exceptionally talented. This is no amateur tattoo shop!
