I absolutely love the work that Derrick did for me yesterday. He knows how to bring the detail out in a piece. He is a great artist and is very present with his artist. He lets you know how he is going to tackle the piece. I will definitely be back to let him finish my whole leg!

Derek is 3/3 on me. He doesn't miss. His approach is very mindful and present, he takes into account your body for what it is and doesn't tattoo you like it's just "a body". He will use a combination of colors, shading and weight (thickness/darkness of a line) to make sure your desired tattoo is visible at the right angles & distance and durable on your skin to the best of his ability. His line work is tight! It's been 5 or 6 years and I'm still asked if my tattoo is new. That's why I had to come on here and let y'all know Derek Crockett is the truth. He is also as human as they. So don't anticipate that he'll turn off his humanity and tattoo you like a tattoo robot but also trust that he won't ask you to be anything other than your full human self either. So be weird and/or set your boundaries, knowing that he is understanding and will be glad to know what makes you comfortable. Communicate at any point throughout the process and he will certainly do the same. He'll take great care of you and inform you of anything you're not sure about. Please don't assume anything until you ask, cause he will respond in ways that might renew your faith in people.

Hello! I’m Derek

Tattoo Artist & Body Modification Expert

 asI’ve been piercing and tattooing since I was a teenager. That was almost 30 years ago. I’ve owned my own shop on South Boulevard in Charlotte, North Carolina for 20 years.  I’ve won multiple awards for tattooing.  I’ve invented more piercings than I can count. Due to the insane demand, the best way to contact me is to call or send a text.  I do every style of tattoos and piercings.  There is no style I can’t do.  There is no technique I can’t do. I do everything. More pictures are added to the gallery pages regularly. so keep coming back for more eye candy.

Some people call me a legend. I just like to call myself Derek Crockett.

Watch! Here’s a short video of Derek Crockett starting a sleeve for a customer with a Lion tattoo. Derek talks about the steps he takes to ensure that the shop here at Crown Custom Tattoo in Charlotte, NC is always clean to prevent any cross contamination from one customer to the next. Derek has always taken this seriously… even before there was a pandemic.
