CHOOSING YOUR artist
Black and grey is at the heart of what we do. Whether you're after the delicate precision of fine line, realism that brings your idea to life, or the soulful detail of a portrait, our artists combine artistic vision with technical skill so every tattoo has depth and detail.
Every design is custom, and every artist will give you honest advice on size and placement so your tattoo looks good for years to come.
Fine line, ornamental, illustrative and florals. Every artist at Rose & Thorn tattoos these styles.
Realism and portraits. Melinda and Autumn, plus our guest artists Jake, George and James.
