Eric “Delvirus” Del Valle tattoos out of Waystation Tattoo in Manhattan and Inked Gallery in New Jersey. Tattooing since 2013, he’s developed his own style he calls Viral — a dark, surreal mix of heavy blackwork, sharp contrasts, and intricate detail. His work draws from anatomy, mythology, and symbolism, creating designs that feel both otherworldly and alive.

Eric approaches every tattoo as a collaboration built on trust and creativity. Reach out now to start your next piece.
