Thorn-Side Tattoo & Piercing

I've been a customer for years and each time I come in Doug does a great job. Very professional and prices are very reasonable. I recommend Thorn-Side to anyone looking for a great tattoo.

i’ve gotten multiple tattoos from jon and he does amazing work and is so kind and understanding! i recommend him to everyone who wants to get a tattoo! the owner is also amazing and valued customer service more than anyone i’ve seen! great shop!

This shop was so clean and had a very comfortable atmosphere. Doug was very professional and did astonishing work. It is by far the best tattoo I have ever seen, I am so happy with how the tattoo looks. I would strongly recommend to anyone who has being wanting to get a tattoo. I’m sure any one who visits this business will be beyond satisfied with their experience.

I came in to get a vertical labret piercing which was done by Sarah. This was my second time getting pierced with her. Before we started she showed me previous lip piercings she had done which made me feel confident with her experience. It was a quick process and she was very patient and kind with me as I was really nervous to get the piercing done. She explained every step to me which made me feel more comfortable. She made sure that she did not do anything until I was ready. She is extremely kind and very professional. She explained everything I need to know about my piercing including after care, what to expect from the piercing, and when to come back in to get a shorter bar. If I do decide to get another piercing, I will definitely come back to Sarah!

Sarah rocked! Super sweet and made everyone so comfy. Easy to chat with and did a great job on my tattoo:)

Their piercer Sarah has done most of my piercings (1 lip and 7 ear) and I wouldn't go anywhere else. They're always very professional, sterile, and will make sure you absolutely love your piercings. All of my piercings have been quick and as painless as possible, and I can always ask if I have questions about any of my piercings. I've recommended them to a couple of friends and will continue to do so :)

Great place. Super clean and Jon did a great job on my first tattoo. Very helpful and polite staff. Amazing place and I'll be back when I get my next tattoo.

I called several other places in town and no one could get me in or wouldn’t make an appointment a week in advance unless I drove there (two hours away) and made a cash deposit. They wouldn’t take any other form of payment which I Understand is their business plan. I called thorn side and the phone was answer by a very enthusiastic and nice young woman who said ya just stop in we will get you in. We arrived and the location was extremely clean and everyone was very friendly and answered any questions. Brandon was our artist and redesigned my wedding ring tattoo several times to get it how I wanted and made sure I was happy with everything before we started. He was extremely kind and professional and extremely patient with a couple issues that were our fault and in no way his. Another artist came over after we were done and looked at the finished tattoo and asked about our experience and made sure we were happy and we just had a really good conversation in general. After relaying our thoughts on the experience and how everything turned out he told us he was an owner in the business which was really cool and extremely respectable he never brought that up until after our conversation. I’d recommend this business and Brandon to anyone looking for some wonderful artwork and a great experience with very kind and friendly employees. Thanks again Brandon I will be seeing you for my next one for sure. I should also mention the reason for the two hour trip was a medical consult. Now I would make that two hour trip anytime just to get some more artwork. I promise you won’t be disappointed in your choice to go here. Thankyou thorn side for this wonderful experience. I should also mention I was in no way paid or compensated or asked to in any way to make this review. I rarely review anything but these guys deserved a 5 star rating after our experience there. They also reserve one day a week for walk in business only as part of their business plan I believe that is Saturdays but call to make sure. Thanks to everyone that we talked to there you guys are doing a Fantastic job and I look forward to the next one!

Excellent experience at this location. Jeff gave me a piece of art I’m proud to wear with me every day for the rest of my. Great place, great art, great people. Loved it.

I got my septum pierced by Emity and she was such a sweetheart! It was very clean and nothing was rushed! She explained everything very well and make me feel so comfortable as I was very nervous. I will definitely be back for my next piercing!
