Higher Truth Tattoo

Very chill and down to earth guy! Thank you!

I really enjoyed discussing my future tattoo with Mark. We talked for a while, going over different options for my tattoo idea. I look forward to doing business with this gentleman and also getting a beautiful tattoo.

My first and 2nd tattoos. I love them!!

Wonderful place for art work to be done on you. Mark takes the time to understand you and what you’re looking for in a tattoo. He’s a true artist if his craft. I couldn’t recommend him enough.

I have gone to Mark twice, and he never lets me down! I love his work and the environment he provides to his clients! Highly recommend!

Mark is an amazing artist and an even more amazing person. His work speaks for itself.

Awesome! Mind blown. 🤯

Got my 3/4 sleeve done by Mark about 7 years ago. I’ve gotten so many compliments not only on the design but how incredibly clean the lines are. 7 years later, the lines are still super clean and the color still vibrant. I wanted to extend the sleeve to my wrist so of course I reached out to Mark. He got me in quick, and drew this amazing addition to my sleeve! I just love it! Mark is someone I’ll always feel confident about getting high quality tattoos from! You won’t be disappointed! Mark really takes the time to make you feel comfortable and build a relationship with you. It's not just about the tattoo. He truly cares about making your tattoo vision come to life and wants to get to know the stories behind it. Great guy and amazing artist!

A real and authentic human. And one of my favorite Dallas mark merchant's One of my oldest and dearest friends ❤️

Mark is one of the greatest human beings on the planet. His authenticity and genuine appreciation for people and the art of tattooing translates into an amazing tattooing experience. He really knows how to connect with you, and that allows him to create a amazing one-of-a-kind piece that’s original for everybody. You won’t receive better hospitality from anywhere else.

I had an exceptional experience receiving a tattoo from Mark. He took the time to work with me to build a relationship and to ultimately come up with a piece that I'm incredibly proud to wear. If you're looking for a great artist that will do amazing work, Mark definitely has that covered. But what makes Higher Truth really special is that he goes above and beyond the work to achieve a connection that benefits both the client and the artist. If you are searching for a tattoo shop I doubt you can do better than Mark and Higher Truth.

I feel the universe connects you with people at the right moment and everything that happens has a purpose. First off, he is a true gem of a spirit and master tattooist. He created such a beautiful piece of art depicting my beautiful three little girls. His tattoo style was so gentle and precise. Not only did I get a gorgeous piece of forever art, I also got to learn more about myself through meeting him. We had some awesome conversations and his wonderful wisdom will be forever etched in my brain. So grateful for you Mark. Cheers to you and I will be back! -Your favorite Land Hag :-)

Mark is FANTASTIC! Today I got my first tattoo with him and it was a wonderful experience. He was very conscious of following COVID rules as well as gave me a beautiful tattoo that was exactly what I wanted. He is so very kind and I would recommend him to anyone.

Mark has been my tattoo artist for the last 4 years. I want to start off by saying that he is the most professional artist that I have ever been to. You’re always greeted with a smile and such great vibes. I’ve never been greeted with such hospitality elsewhere. He’s professional and always committed to giving you a tattoo that will last a lifetime. His work is beautiful and each session is enlightening. An added bonus is that I genuinely appreciate how effectively he communicates before and after a tattoo session. Ultimately, he’s genuine and one of a kind. I wouldn’t ever want to go anywhere else for a tattoo other than Higher Truth Tattoo!

the environment (the space in which you get tattooed) - clean, tidy, face mask required (review written during covid 19 times 2021) - definitely appreciate his concern for his own safety as well as his client. He has some awesome artwork up and the music playing was nice and relaxing. - so the environment gets 5 stars. the artist (the person doing the tattoo) - super communicative, a good balance of being the artist and collaborating with the client....my approach with this process was to surrender myself to the process, i had an inspiration piece i brought and wanted elements of it and to capture a certain feeling. So it was important for me to: 1. feel heard (which i did, 110%) 2. have him provide artistic input (which was awesome) 2. have him provide tattoo input, i am not a tattooer, i require guidance here and he totally provided it. ....i will definitely be going back.....as a matter of fact, can't wait to.

It was AMAZING! Mark was so nice and it was overall such a great experience and I will definitely come back!

Honestly, the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for an artist that will sit down and take the time to talk over the design with you and make your experience as comfortable as possible, then Mark is your guy. His designs are so clean and unique, and I’m so happy with the final product. 10/10, can’t recommend him enough. Thank you, Mark!

Mark, this was my first tattoo and I am very pleased with your work, I really love it, I love how well arranged your environment is and how clean it is, I also love how you clean up before and after tattooing🙂, I will definitely recommend you to my friends.

I had one of the best tattoo experiences with Mark C. Merchant. He was very professional and did an amazing job. I'm definitely coming back here!!!

I am a tattoo collector and once seeing Marks online portfolio I knew I wanted to acquire some work from him. From the online booking to my first session all was smooth. Mark was open and honest about taking my idea and making it to stand the rest of time. He thoroughly discussed design, color palette to be used and made sure I was good with everything he was discussing. Two sessions went by quickly were I ended up with an beautiful piece of art on my body. If you are local or from far away make sure to get with Mark for your next tattoo you will not be disappointed.
