Ready to wear your story? Let's make it permanent.

Not at all. You can bring a reference photo, a sketch, or even just a description of what you're looking for. We'll work with you to create a custom design that fits your body and your style.

Every tattoo involves some discomfort, but it varies by placement and size. Areas with more fat and muscle tend to hurt less. We'll talk through what to expect based on where you want your piece.

Call or text us at (605) 760-9334, or email deepcitytattoo@gmail.com. Tell us what you have in mind, your preferred date, and the approximate size. We'll confirm everything and answer any questions before your visit.

Get a good night's sleep, eat a solid meal before your appointment, and stay hydrated. Wear comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the area being tattooed. Avoid alcohol the night before — it thins your blood and makes the process harder.

We'll give you detailed aftercare instructions, but the basics are: keep it covered for a few hours, wash gently with unscented soap, apply a thin layer of recommended ointment, and avoid soaking or direct sun while it heals. We'll follow up to make sure it's healing properly.
