About DW

I’m Devin, I have been tattooing for 17 years. Been sober from alcohol for 10yrs and everything else for 5 yrs now. I was taught to do anything that walks in the door. So over the years I’ve worked on and practiced many styles of tattooing. I love metal or watching a movie while tattooing. I’m a Colorado native! Won a few awards for sleeves in the past and would love to win more in the future! Love a challenge. Most of my free time consists of painting, sketching, and watching horror movies. My life basically just consists of art at this time lol. As well as helping take care of my mom and help out as much as I can after a major surgery. Although I am able to do most styles, I still have my favorites which would be black and grey realism, dark art, portraits(horror/movie characters, family, pets, etc) really anything black and grey. As well color portraits, neotrad, or any realism in color. Lately I’ve been working towards mixing and fusing styles together. If you’re wanting to get something cool and unique then schedule a tattoo with me and request a mixed style piece! Those designs usually consist of realism mixed with traditional/neo traditional, or a design fused with some cool galaxy type stuff in it. Guarantee you get a unique and awesome design from me that you will love to show off to everyone! I’m not a pushy artist, and easy to get along with! Always down to do some cool, funny tattoos. I’ll never turn down a walk in no matter the time, as long as there’s nothing stopping me from staying after hours. Looking to rebuild my clientele, and get some cool new tattoos done! If you like art but not sure about a tattoo you can always get a commissioned design or a print of any of the art I’ve done in the past. I even do murals. Contact to me to get your appointment set up! Let’s get that sleeve, back piece or any large project going! Smaller tattoos are always welcome too! Come with a group or whatever! I’m always down 😆

Policies

Deposit Policy
All deposits are non-refundable. Rescheduling your appointment, especially on short notice, may result in forfeiture of deposit. All designs will be prepped the day before the tattoo appointment. And I will not send any pics of the design. All changes will be made the day of the appointment. Once deposit is paid then you agree and acknowledge everything above, and that there are no refunds whatsoever. Thank you.
Cover-up policy
Accepting cover-ups.
Cover ups
Most cover ups take one to a few touch ups to layer the ink for best result. Before doing a touch the tattoo must be fully healed. Touch ups are normally free but when it comes to cover ups be prepared and understand you may have to pay the minimum or up to $150(depending on size) per touch up. Because sometimes I have to go over the whole tattoo in order to fully cover. So keep that in mind.
Touch up policy
First touch up is free unless client doesn’t follow the proper aftercare given. Tattoo must be fully healed which is 3-4 weeks minimum, sometimes longer. Everyone heals differently. After the first any additional touch ups will have to be charged the minimum or more at artists discretion.
Refund policy
Absolutely no refunds what so ever. Once money is handed over and the tattoo is started then there will be no refunds. Reasoning is because there’s no way to return a permanent tattoo, or give back the time and effort spent on said tattoo. You saw and agreed to the design before getting the tattoo. Said it looks fine, double checked in the mirror, therefore once paid and started consent form filled and signed then you agree and acknowledge there are no refunds.
Drawing fee
Drawing fees are separate from deposits and the price of the tattoo. If you want to have the design sent to you, or be able to pick up a print of a design you want tattooed or to see the design before the anytime before the appointment then a drawing fee will be required. Prices start out at $100 and go up depending on if just an outline is requested, finished design, amount of time put into design, or just partially finished for a visual before getting it tattooed.

FAQ

How should I prepare for my tattoo?
Be sure to get a full nights rest. Stay hydrated drink lots of water and eat something before coming into the appointment. Bring some small snacks, water and another drink like a soda Gatorade, something along those lines for the sugar. Wear comfortable and appropriate clothes, bring a pillow or small blanket as well. Most importantly if it’s a long session then make sure you have no other plans, clear the day. Bring a friend if you like but no minors. Don’t come in drunk, hungover or on drugs.
Will you send me a picture before the appointment?
I will not send pictures of designs or let you take a pic of the design, before appointment unless you’ve paid a drawing fee. The drawing fee isn’t the same as the deposits and doesn’t go towards the tattoo price. Other wise all designs will be drawn the day before the tattoo appointment. So any changes can be made the day of the tattoo.
How far out are you booked?
I only book out 3-5 weeks at a time. Weekends are usually the busiest, so if you can make a week day work you’ll more than likely be able to set up something sooner.
What are your prices, do you offer tap outs, or do specials?
I usually price by piece unless it’s a larger project that will take 2 or more days. Such as a sleeve, back piece, etc. My minimum is $80. For large projects I offer Full days(6hrs) for $800 or Half days(4hrs) for $600. Numbing is included. I post monthly specials on FB and IG. Sometimes you’ll see the $500 tapout for a special. No numbing allowed.
What styles do you do?
I’m able to do realism, portraits, dark art, neo traditional, traditional, anime, fine line, bio/organic mech, new school, cartoons, lettering, trash polka, minimalism, water color, black work, geometric, henna, ornamental, freehand, graffiti, 3d and I like to mix styles. I do both color and black and grey also.
