"I've never had any bad experiences with Purple Thistle. I have 2 tattoos and my nose pierced from them, and I love them all! They were very gentle and informative with my piercing, and even offered for me to come back in for them to help me change it when it was ready. As for my tattoos, they look so good! The lines are nice and crisp, and I get compliments all the time about how beautiful they are! I will never go anywhere else but Purple Thistle for any of my tattoos/piercings needs!"
