Every client who sits in that chair gets treated like it's the only tattoo we'll ever give them. — The standard. Since 1995.

We opened
in 1995.

We are still here.

Blackthorn Ink was founded by Adam on East Main Street in Frostburg, Maryland. Three artists — including Adam, a piercer with eighteen years on the needle — work out of this shop. That's the whole team. Everyone here has a specialty and nobody cuts corners.

The work is clean. The craft is honest. Clean shop, honest craft. Every piece leaves this building as if it's the only one we'll ever do.

Walk-ins welcome when we have room. Appointments preferred. Stop in at 100 E Main St or call — we've been at this address for thirty years and we're not going anywhere.

behind the work.
