Donno's Higher Ground Tattoo
Bryson City, North Carolina
General Info
As proprietor, I have 16 years experience tattooing; so can not only offer good, clean, artistic, and sanitary tattooing, but I can also offer my clients guidance tempered by the wisdom gained over the past decade and a half. I won't let you walk out with a tattoo that you regret. But I also want it to be MORE than just a tattoo shop! The shop location, in Bryson City, NC, is situated within easy walking distance of several art galleries, frame shops, book stores, museums, restaurants, bakeries, and even a community theater. It also has a fantastic lobby area that serves as a gallery space for up and coming, young, local, and non-mainstream type artists.

This place rocks! Donno must be one of the the most entertaining and accommodating individuals in any service. Then there's his artistry- Amazing Beautiful Tattoos!

Received a tattoo of my design/vision (but drawn out from one of the artists here), and I'm not disappointed. Relaxing environment, and felt at ease the entire time and made good conversation with the artist while the tattoo was being done. Met my expectations, and would recommend.

Donno did my mom’s first tattoo and my second. We were on a mother daughter vacation from Florida and we got matching tats. We LOVED the family atmosphere of his shop and can’t wait to make plans to come back and see him again for our next ones!

I've always loved Donno, and his work. Last week, my daughter, Joy, and I went in to have memorial tattoos for my Mom, her Granny done. Joy got Donno, and I got Orlin, to do our work. Orlin was just so caring, making sure my Cardinal tattoo in Mom's honor was just exactly what I'd seen in my mind's eye, and that I was as comfortable as one can be. I don't have the words to say how much I love it. Both Donno and Orlin are special, talented guys, and I'd recommend them to anyone wanting a great experience, and a tattoo to treasure.

Donno has done all of my tattoos. He has a great eye for detail. Great prices. But the thing i love the most is the welcoming atmosphere. Donno always gets committed to the work. Every time he has asked me of the significance of what im getting. Hes really interested in his customers. My last tattoo ended up turning into the perfect tattoo. As long as Donno stays in town he will be the only person hitting my skin.
