about the shop
Carrying on a 23-year tradition
Quality tattoos in a friendly environment!
High Five Tattoo continues that tradition in this location, which was first established in 2001 by Charley and Sandy Parsons of Great Southern Tattoo.
A cornerstone of the tattoo community as artists and collectors of tattoo history, Charley and Sandy took great care of everyone who walked through the doors.
Everyone at High Five aims to carry on that vibe and create custom, quality tattoos - your design or ours!
