My experience with Deb was more than I expected. I researched female tattoo artists, and she was the only one who got back to me. I knew this tattoo would take more than one session. I needed a memorial tattoo done in memory of my son. He had been gone two years and I felt it was time to do this. You see, I have lost two sons to addiction. I had a tattoo done for my older son back in 2016. A feather that broke off into birds. I want the same or something similar for my younger son. I met with Deb and loved her instantly. When she heart y story, I felt compassion and I knew she would design something special. We met and designed my tattoo for my son, but felt it wasn't finished. When I came back to start my tattoo, she put her heart and soul into my tattoo design. It was beautiful. She is an artist and truly takes each tattoo. We picked a different feather and different birds for this tattoo. My sons were different, so it felt perfect. Her fine line and detail is out of this world! I can see each feather on each of the birds wings. I had four sessions with Deb. She even spruced up my older sons tattoo. It is beautiful and looks new. She has developed her own aftercare products. All organic, infused and they truly help with aftercare and any discomfort you may have. She has soaps, balms, salves etc. I was so impressed with her continual research in the tattoo industry. She is always educating herself on new information and materials. I felt I have made a friend. She knows my story, knows my boys and loves what she does. My initial vision was to have each feather look like wings on my back. They do! I was so emotional when I saw the final picture after she completed them. Deb is professional a true artist and top notch! I will be back in the summer for my next tattoo. In the Raw Tattooing is the place to go for professional and caring work. You are the best Deb! read more

I had the pleasure of getting my first tattoo from Deborah, and I couldn't have been more thrilled with the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel incredibly welcome and comfortable, which was so important for a first-timer like me. We spent a solid 8 hours together, and she was attentive throughout the entire session, checking in to make sure I was eating, staying hydrated, and feeling okay. Her skill and attention to detail are exceptional--I've received countless compliments on the tattoo since getting it, and I can't stop admiring it myself. If you're looking for an artist who combines talent with a warm, professional vibe, I highly recommend going to her. I'm already looking forward to my next piece. read more

I was looking around at different place to get my snakes bites and a lot of other shops don't do this that i wanted. Then we came a crossed in the raw tattoos. when we pulled up to where the address, I was a lil hesitant about letting her piercings myself or my son and then we looked at all her work that she has done. Then we found out she didn't do the piercing my son wanted to get. Then she was able to give us something else. She was great with my son with it beginning his first tattoo. Deb is great with her pricing and her knowledge of piercings and tattoos that she does. I will definitely be going back to deb. She also gives you the aftercare for anything you get from her. She makes all the aftercare herself. read more

We had an amazing experience getting our baby's ears pierced here. I spent a ton of time searching for the best place to go. There aren't too many good options in our area. I'm so glad I chose In The Raw. Deborah was so kind and patient with our baby (who was not making things easy to say the least...) and she did a wonderful job!! Would absolutely recommend if you're looking to get your baby's ears pierced somewhere clean and professional! I will definitely be going back for some piercings of my own soon! read more

You will not walk out of Deb's studio disappointed! From the minute I stepped into her studio she made me feel comfortable and was super easy to talk to. She is a perfectionist to the fullest with the fine line and dot work she does. She knew exactly what I wanted and I am in love with my arm tattoo she did on me. True visionary artist. Right away you can tell she loves what she does and takes pride in every piece of art she creates. Also, super cute and clean studio! read more

I cannot say enough about Deb and the work she does. It was my first tattoo, a memorial one at that, and she was the most caring, attentive and calming person. She took her time and her attention to detail was amazing. I don´t know if I will ever get another tattoo but if I do I will absolutely go back to In the Raw, would not even have to think twice about it!! Thank you again Deb for such a great experience, it meant the world to me! Would recommend her to anyone!! read more

The first thing I noticed when I walked in the studio was how clean it was, although it was hard to find ( that is the only thing I have to complain about) she sent an automated text reminder with the exact directions an hour before my appointment. one of the best artists in Middletown I'll definitely be making another appointment now that I can find the studio. The pricing is fair. Thank you Deborah for all the time you out into my new tattoo. read more
