Custom tattoos. No flash. No filters. Just raw
artistry built around you — from first sketch to
final needle.
Deadline Ink opened in 2012 with one rule: every tattoo is one of a kind. We don't pull from flash sheets.
We don't rush. We design around your body, your story, your skin.
Twelve years, three artists, thousands of pieces. All custom. All permanent. All ours.

Tell us your idea, placement, and size. We'll talk
honestly about what works and what doesn't on skin.
Your artist creates a custom sketch. You review,
tweak, and approve before any needle touches skin.
We tattoo in a clean, private space. We take breaks.
We make sure you're comfortable throughout.
Full aftercare guide and a free touch-up session

It depends on placement and your pain tolerance. Ribs and spine hurt more. Forearms and shoulders — much less. We'll be honest with you in the consultation.
Pricing depends on size, detail, and placement. Small pieces start at $80. Large custom work is quoted after consultation. We never quote before seeing your idea.
Yes — we require a non-refundable deposit to book your session. It goes toward the final price. This protects our artists' time.
Often yes. Send us a photo and we'll give you an honest assessment. Cover-ups require more design care but we've done hundreds of successful ones.
Eat a good meal before. Stay hydrated. Wear comfortable clothes that give easy access to the area. Avoid alcohol 24 hours prior.
