I've been to several tattoo shops over the last 5 years searching for an artist that I can trust with consistent great work. The environment of higher ground tattoo is unlike any shop ive ever been to. I feel welcome everytime im at the shop (already got my 2nd tattoo) and all the artists that tattoo there care about their work and their clients. Nick is my tattoo artist and I have actually come to really look forward to seeing J and Steven too. Family oriented environment and not so serious like other shops I've been to. Nick took the time to bring a very meaningful design I had in my mind to life and I couldn't be happier with how it came out. Def recommend anyone looking for a high quality tattoo to go here.
