Who We Are

Hello All! We are a non binary owned, LGBTQI+ friendly shop in the heart of Ohio.

We believe in providing a safe, clean and welcoming environment for our clients, as well as a quality tattoo you’ll love!

Let us help you make your vision a reality here at Thistle and Oak Tattoo Studio!

New Booking Process

We are changing the way we book!

We will continue to be appointment only.

Inquiry forms now go directly to your Artist through their personal inquiry form. We are no longer using wixsite for any future bookings. All deposits are to be sent directly to your artist or dropped off at the shop.

Thank you for your continuous support and patience during this transition.

Shop hours are Wed-Sat 12-7

Sun-Tues are artist discretion
