Nikki has pretty much been with Tank's her whole life. Seeing that she is the daughter of Tank and D, she has grown up in the tattoo world. She has been tattooing since she was 12 and won a first place trophy for her artwork at that age. She became a full time tattoo artist when she turned 18. She also does body piercing. Nikki finished high school when she was 16 and attended Minnesota State Community and Technical College in Detroit Lakes. There she received degrees in Signs and Lettering, Graphic Design, and Neon Technology. In high school, she focused on art and surpassed what the school had to offer. For fun, Nikki likes to ride motorcycles, quad runners, go carts, anything with a motor-yet her mom could only convince her to get on a roller coaster once.
