Middle Village is more than the name on the studio. It is the neighborhood around which owner Marco DeLuca wanted to build the business. After years spent learning and working in tattooing, Marco wanted a place where Queens clients could bring serious tattoo ideas without feeling that they had to understand studio culture before walking through the door. Middle Village, with its residential streets, longtime local families, and connection to surrounding Queens neighborhoods, felt like the right home.
At Middle Village Tattoo, we work on black and grey pieces, fineline tattoos, portraits, cover ups, and walk-in designs, and we also offer piercing. Every project starts with a conversation about what you actually want. You can bring polished references, an old photograph, a sketch, or simply explain the idea.
For detailed custom work, we look at the design and placement together. A tattoo that looks good as a picture still needs to make sense on the body. Scale, direction, line spacing, contrast, and the shape of the chosen area can all affect the final design. If something needs to change, we explain why before tattooing.
Cover ups receive particularly careful planning because the existing tattoo creates limits that cannot be ignored. We look at its darkness, size, location, and shape before suggesting a direction. Portrait work likewise begins with strong references and enough space for the features that establish likeness.
If you are looking for something smaller or more spontaneous, ask about walk-in availability. The schedule changes from day to day, and not every project is suitable for a same-day appointment, so checking first can save you a trip. Call 347-378-0847 to ask about current walk-in space.
First tattoo clients are always welcome. You do not need to know exactly how large a piece should be or what technical style name applies. We can discuss those details with you and help turn the initial idea into a practical plan.
Our team is intentionally small. Marco works alongside tattoo artist Elena Rivera and piercer and studio coordinator Daniel Kim. That gives the studio a personal rhythm and lets us focus on individual projects rather than treating appointments like an assembly line.
If you live in Middle Village and have been thinking about a tattoo, start by sending the idea, placement, approximate size, and any useful references. From there, we can recommend the next step.

The studio was built specifically around serving Middle Village and surrounding Queens neighborhoods.
We adjust artwork for the actual placement rather than treating a tattoo like a flat printed image.
Questions are welcome, and we explain the process without assuming prior tattoo experience.
Our featured work ranges from fineline designs to black and grey, portraits, cover ups, and walk-ins.
