High Tide Tattoo Parlour
High Tide was founded by Mike Gresham (Micro) and Sonya Lacroix in 2011 in Thunder Bay, ON Canada. Our vision was to provide a safe, clean and professional tattoo shop for clients to receive high quality custom tattoo artwork in a comfortable, welcoming environment. We proudly dropped anchor at 215 Red River Road, Unit 105, in the downtown core of Port Arthur.

We have 4 tattoo artists at the shop, Mike (Micro) Gresham, Sonya Lacroix, Amy McKerracher and Ryan Pooman, and an apprentice, Hope Heart. Alongside tattoos, we also sell a selection of hardcore, punk and metal band merch unique to Thunder Bay, jewellery, art prints, and more. We have a ton of new stuff since we moved and reopened, and reopened again so come on in and check out what's in store!

Working with artist Hannah Koester has been a wonderful experience - she's enormously talented. Can't wait to get more tattoos from her! All the staff I've interacted with here have been great.

A tattoo 61 years in the making... Sonya Lacroix nailed it! My 1st time tattoo experience couldn’t have been any better. From the initial consultation to the final touches of the needle on my skin; it was… uncomplicated and professional. The end result was a clean crisp tattoo that stayed true to my original concept. No questions in my mind who and where tattoo #2 is going to take place.

I've seen 2 of the artists now and have gotten stunning tattoos; staff is very professional, and the building is very clean. All the artists I have seen have been very personable and I enjoyed my conversation while being tattooed (and once I watched a movie). I highly recommend visiting the shop to see which artist best fits your ideal tattoo.

What a great bunch of guys at High Tide. Very accommodating to requests, alterations and a genuine passion for what they do. I got work done by Amy and it was exactly what I was looking for. They have my loyalty. Thanks guys!

I had my tattoo done with Ryan, great artist. Gets work done! Took no breaks and tattooed my arm straight for the entire process. Very professional and does great work. I have had a few hiccups here and there as I moved here to help family and they have been very accommodating during the entire process. Look forward to completing my sleeve here once time at home frees up!

I got swords on my collarbones from Hanna. overall, i’m not mad, but the line work was inconsistent, lines that should’ve been straight were curved, one of the handles is completely uneven, and they were placed unevenly on my bones. she did not stop talking for the entire time she was doing the first sword, and i think this contributed to some of the mistakes. all in all, i will be absolutely getting them fixed. not by her.
