YOUR CONCEPT. THEIR CRAFT.Contact artists directly to schedule and ask questions
All artists at Thorntail handle their own booking, so you must reach out to the specific artist you want to work with for availability and scheduling. The studio lists individual artist contact routes rather than a single shop calendar, which affects how you start the booking conversation and follow-up communications.
One resident artist, Mackenzie, is appointment only and is not accepting walk-ins; bookings with Mackenzie require filling out a booking form to secure an appointment. Plan to use the artist’s stated contact method rather than expecting same-day availability.
Custom collaboration, product choices and service limits
The studio describes itself as woman run and centers collaborative custom tattoo design; artists work with clients on pieces ranging from small tattoos to large multi-session projects. The shop states it uses 100 percent vegan ink and organic salves for aftercare, which are part of how they present their design and product choices.
Thorntail does not offer body piercings, so plan any piercing needs elsewhere while keeping tattoo planning focused on the shop’s offered tattoo services.
