One needle. One line at a time.

Every piece made with patience and a lot of love.

Single Needle

I've spent my career perfecting the art of single needle tattooing.

What started as a passion turned into a craft I pour my heart into every day. I specialize in pet portraits — capturing the personality of your best friend in ink that lasts forever. Every tattoo I do is made with one needle, patience, and a lot of love.

I've worked in the industry since I was 17, and these days I own Crown & Feather Tattoo Co. in Drexel Hill, just outside Philadelphia. I get to work on some of the most meaningful pieces people will ever wear — memorials, portraits of pets who've passed, tiny details that mean the world to someone. I'm genuinely humbled by the trust my clients give me, and the wait for an appointment exists because so many of you keep coming back and sending your friends.

Before You Book

Good to know

How much will my tattoo cost?
Send me your idea and I'll give you an exact quote before you book. You can also text me on (484) 321-6958.
Is a deposit required?
Yes — a non-refundable, non-transferable deposit holds every appointment. It comes off the final cost of your session, and on multi-session pieces it's deducted from the last one.
How far out do you book?
Depending on the size of the piece and your availability, expect 3–6 months between your booking being accepted and getting tattooed.
Can I skip the line?
Yes, at a premium rate. Text me on (484) 321-6958 for a quote.
Do you take walk-ins?
I work by appointment only. Keep an eye on Instagram @dylancarrtattoos for cancellations and special events.
What if I cancel or reschedule?
With at least 72 hours' notice I'm happy to reschedule — you'll just be subject to another wait for my soonest opening. Rescheduling inside 72 hours, cancelling, arriving 30+ minutes late or not showing up means forfeiting the slot and the deposit.
Will you tattoo minors?
I only tattoo clients 18 years of age or older, even with parental consent.
Where are you based?
Crown & Feather Tattoo Co., 4609 State Rd, Drexel Hill, PA — just outside Philadelphia, serving the city and Delaware County.
