I love my tattoos from DH Tattoos. Derek does high-quality work, has a clean space, and is a blast to hang out with during the process. Derek pays attention to the detail of your piece, making sure it is the perfect presentation before starting. I did not want a huge art piece, which is what Derek excels at, so mine was a simple quote as well as my son’s name—and it’s perfect. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Derek’s work is worth every penny.
Update: 8/6/2026. Just got three more beauties from Derek. They are stunning, beautiful, just what I wanted. Derek’s work is amazing.

Derek did an amazing job at redoing my 22 year old tattoo. He was honest, fair and so such excellent work that the tattoo looks even better than it did when I got it 22 years ago. Would go to him again and highly recommend.

Just had my first appointment with Derek and it was awesome! Derek is an incredible artist and I am so happy with the start of my sleeve. I cannot wait for the rest of my sessions and will be recommending him to everyone I know who wants work done!
