Benny DeWitt
Owner | Tattoo Artist
Benny DeWitt is the tattooer behind Good Heart Tattoos — a private, appointment-only studio in Springfield, Illinois focused on American Traditional work.
Tattooing runs in the family. Benny is a second-generation tattooer; his mother, Jan Puckett, was a sign painter and tattooer in Central Illinois and the St. Louis area through the ’90s and early 2000s. Growing up around the family shop shaped his belief that tattooing doesn’t have to be a “club” — it can be a calm, respectful space where people feel taken care of.
After years of travel and an apprenticeship beginning in 2011 under Jason Lee at Newage Tattoos (est. 1998), Benny brought that experience back home and opened Good Heart in 2019.
Today, his work centers on strong design, clarity, and longevity — tattoos meant to age well and hold their character over time.
