Thistle and Pearl Tattoo is a female-owned studio in Asheville, North Carolina, proudly serving the community since 2015. We offer custom designs and have walk-in availability seven days a week on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Each of our artists comes from a strong artistic background, having spent years developing their craft and personal style long before tattooing professionally. Because of this, we offer an array of stylistic specialties spanning from black and grey, color, painterly, illustrative, art nouveau, fine line, bold line, botanical, geometric, realism, neotraditional to traditional.
Whether you lost a bet and now owe yourself a roller-skating pickle tattoo, or you and a group of friends decided five minutes ago to get matching teacup designs, we have an artist just for you who best suits your design idea. From simple walk-ins to more complex, multi-session projects that require planning and collaboration, every design is approached with the same level of artistic integrity and professionalism.
Our goal is to provide a relaxed, welcoming space where everyone feels comfortable and well taken care of. From first-time clients to repeat customers—from Asheville locals to visitors from out of town—we’d love to work with you.
