Kew Gardens combines busy Queens connections with residential streets and a strong neighborhood identity. Middle Village Tattoo welcomes Kew Gardens clients looking for custom tattoo work from a small local team that takes time to understand the project.
We create black and grey tattoos, fineline work, portraits, cover ups, and walk-in tattoos when availability permits. We also offer piercing. You can come to us with a complete concept or with a loose direction that still needs to be organized.
Our role is not just to reproduce a picture. Tattoos have to work with skin, movement, and the dimensions of the chosen area. We consider how the composition fits the body and whether the requested amount of detail makes sense at the desired size.
For meaningful personal pieces, that process can help separate what is essential from what is optional. A memorial tattoo, for example, might combine a portrait, dates, flowers, handwriting, or another symbol. Rather than crowding every element together, we can help establish a clear focal point.
Cover ups also benefit from an individual plan. Send a clear photograph of the tattoo you want changed so we can evaluate its darkest areas, shape, and size. We will be straightforward about what a new design can reasonably accomplish.
If you are coming from Kew Gardens for a walk-in tattoo, call 347-378-0847 first. Same-day space depends on existing appointments, artist availability, and whether the design can be properly prepared in the available time.
Middle Village Tattoo is owned by Marco DeLuca, a Queens artist who wanted to build a studio with the feel of a dependable neighborhood business. He works with tattoo artist Elena Rivera and piercer and studio coordinator Daniel Kim. Each brings a different specialty while sharing the same straightforward approach.
To begin, send us your reference material, approximate dimensions, and placement. We will help you figure out the most sensible next step.

We look at your specific idea instead of relying on one standard approach for every tattoo.
Scale, spacing, contrast, and placement are considered as part of the artwork.
First-timers can ask questions and get clear explanations without feeling out of place.
Cover ups and portraits receive the individual evaluation they require.
