Carlton Rich

Carlton Rich is a professional tattoo studio bringing serious craft to the high desert of southern New Mexico. Clients can expect a focused, welcoming environment where quality work takes center stage. Given the region's deep cultural roots, styles like bold traditional, intricate blackwork, and Chicano-influenced lettering and imagery feel especially at home here — though the artists bring versatility to every consultation. Whether you're after something timeless or deeply personal, the studio approaches each piece with care and intention.

Deming sits in Luna County, a small but resilient community shaped by the Chihuahuan Desert, ranching heritage, and the layered cultural traditions of the Southwest borderlands. That mix of rugged independence and rich cultural identity tends to draw clients who want tattoos with real meaning — work that reflects a life lived close to the land and connected to family history. Getting tattooed at Carlton Rich is part of that broader Deming experience: unpretentious, genuine, and rooted in community.
