Elevated Ink
Tattoo Studio

at elevated ink, our goal is to show our clients a more professional side of tattooing. we have worked to create a calm, at home atmosphere, while still keeping a high level of professionalism and cleanliness that should be expected of any tattoo studio. we've passed the idph inspection with flying colors every year since we opened in 2015 and all of our equipment is disposable, one time-use. we specialize in custom tattoo designs and work by appointment only - to cater to each client individually. because we know how important and meaningful a tattoo can be, every tattoo we create is a group effort between us and our client, so their new artwork can be enjoyed for a lifetime. we respect our clients and will only commit to tattoos we are confident we will excel at. check out our portfolios below, and we hope to work with you soon!

Laura Yurchak

hey everyone! i began my tattoo career in 2012 just outside of my home town, kenosha, wi. my apprenticeship was short & sweet, i picked up on things very quickly. at the beginning of 2014 i moved to the rockford area. troy and i met and tattooed at a couple of the local shops and we decided to open our own studio in roscoe. it's been great having our own space and being able to cater to each and everyone of our clients without there being any "competition" between us. i also offer permanent brows which has taken up a good bit of my schedule! because of this, i have become a little more picky about the tattoo projects i take on. black & gray realism, fine line, and stippling are my go-to styles.for brow info, click the heart below.

TROY GREGORY

hey guys, troy here! i began my journey in the tattoo industry in 2009. i started my apprenticeship in 2010 in rockford, illinois at a local walk-in shop. i continued to pave my way by attending and working at tattoo conventions, and multiple tattoo seminars around the country to really focus and learn different aspects of tattooing. my style of work is black and grey custom tattoos and having artistic freedom to create. i enjoy creating one of a kind designs for my clients that you can't find on google. thank you for checking out my work and taking the time to learn a little bit about me, i hope to work with you in the future!
