Lara Higgs is a tattoo artist in Pegasus, in the Waimakariri district, who works in bold, bright colours. She has over 15 years' experience and loves new school, animation, cutesy and pop culture style pieces, and she also does geometric and mandala work. The website says she has worked in several places around the world and won best large colour at tattoo conventions for a Winnie the Pooh sleeve. Customers praise the fine detail and bright colours in her work, and say the studio is clean and comfortable, with careful hygiene and good aftercare. They say she gives good input on their own ideas before the tattoo starts, and one customer has been back many times over the years and is always pleased.
Customers also describe Lara as professional and friendly. The website asks people to book a consult to talk through a design before a session, which suits anyone who wants a piece drawn up around their own idea. Our pick in Pegasus for bright, detailed new school work.
