Higher Truth Tattoo

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.

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.

Great experience with Mark today! Was lucky enough to get my first tattoo in 20 years from him and he just happened to have done my last one back then on the same arm! His freehand approach really allows him to fit the work on the muscle and I really dig the placement. He has a cool studio/gallery in a peaceful location. He keeps an amazingly clean studio and makes you feel comfortable and it’s obvious that he knows exactly what to do. If you wanna have a great.experience getting work done by someone that cares about themselves and others then Mark is your artist!

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 is an extremely talented artist as well as a kind and open human. His space is beautiful and intimate, quite the opposite of what you make think of when you think of a tattoo shop. Crisp, white walls make the place feel more like an art gallery, which is perfect because you will be leaving with a true work of art on your body. Mark took great care to understand exactly what I wanted out of my piece, and the sketch he provided was better than anything I could have asked for. He’s soothing and conversational, and offers encouragement and guidance to get you through the tattoo with minimal pain. He provides thorough instructions prior to your appointment - follow them to a t and you’ll be prepared for the best possible experience. You aren’t getting his any old tattoo from Mark - you’re getting something amazing.

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.

Absolutely amazing experience! I've been to a lot of shops and a lot of artists over the years and Mark is as talented an artist as you will ever find. Insanely happy with the rooster he did on my leg this past week. Professional, thorough, and a great conversation while getting tattooed. I'm hard pressed to think of a better tattoo experience. Second to none. Can't wait to line up the next one.

Mark is an amazing and versatile tattooer as well as wonderful person and I would recommend him to anyone. First tattoo, hundredth tattoo, any style will be applied with the highest level of skill and professionalism. Whether you want one or two very meaningful tattoos or you're a collector who likes to get a lot of tattoos from different artists you NEED a tattoo from Mark Merchant.

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!
