Sonya Lacroix

Art and creativity have always been at my core. Before diving into tattoos, I spent over a decade honing my skills as a graphic designer. That background has really shaped how I approach tattooing—giving me a love for clean lines, bold contrast, and designs that make an impact.

Now, I’m lucky to be the co-owner of High Tide Tattoo Parlour in Thunder Bay, ON, where I get to turn my passion into a daily reality. Every piece I create is a chance to tell a story through art, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share that with you.

My style is all about blending the boldness of American traditional tattoos with the beauty of nature and the clean lines of graphic design. I’m drawn to strong, striking subjects—animals, powerful women, eerie vibes, and anything that sparks my imagination. I aim to keep things simple but impactful, mixing crisp black-and-white illustrations with the timeless feel of traditional tattoos.

Thanks for checking out my work and supporting my journey. I’m excited to share it with you, and I hope it speaks to you!
