We know, we know… we don’t post a lot! 🖤 But that’s because we’re busy working on projects like this one! 🔥

✨ This piece was done by .a.darling ✨

We’re so incredibly thankful for every single one of you who recommends us, talks about us, and spreads the word about our shop to everyone you meet. 🖤

YOU are the reason we’re too busy creating amazing art to post every day, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! We never take your support, loyalty, or trust for granted.

Thank you for keeping us busy doing what we love! Making art and bringing your ideas to life. 🖤

Hi Everyone - Adriana has a secret admirer!! There is a fake TikTok account that is trying to book clients. The @ on the profile is spelled wrong, with two I’s and they are asking for deposits via cash app/venmo/gift cards.
We will never ask you for deposits unless we are in the shop, or over the phone. Deposits can be cash in the studio, or credit card over the phone. If you come across the account report it, don’t be silly and give someone money that won’t talk to you over the phone.

We just found out that you all voted us best tattoo shop in Metro Detroit for the second year in a row via WDIV’s vote for the best! This one means a lot, because our clients are the sole reason we won. From your nominations, to voting as many times as you did, we literally don’t win this without you. This isn’t a google algorithm, it’s actual clients, that take the time out of their day to make us number 1. We can’t express what that means, but we are going to find a way, so keep a look out because saying thank you here just doesn’t seem like enough. Cheers! To the best clients in Metro Detroit! From everyone at Thistle and Thorn Ink.

What is the best tattoo parlor in Metro Detroit? The votes are in, and we have a winner!

Books are open! I am accepting requests to fill September-December, to submit a request please visit our website (link in bio) and fill out the form, remember to be as detailed as possible!
It usually takes me a couple weeks to get through all the requests, but you will receive a response whether I am able to schedule you this time around or not. I do make unfinished projects a priority, and will be reaching out to those clients in the next few days.
I’m so excited to see what amazing ideas you guys have! I am forever grateful for your continued support, and for trusting me to bring your dreams to life 🖤

When we opened 2 years ago, we knew that the market in Chesterfield was going to be hard. There are a lot of great shops around this city, but we believed in ourselves and the vision we had to set us apart. And you all have made that dream a reality! Any award we get is because of our clients that trust us to bring any piece to life. We are grateful every single day to be doing what we love, with clients we love. Thank you to everyone that’s helped us get here! Cheers to many more years of beautiful art, and even more beautiful people.
