Thorn & Rose Tattoo Parlour

🥀I’ve procrastinated on writing a last post or just letting T&R sail away into the night but I have a few important people to thank before we put the ole girl to rest.Big love to my dad for helping me move all the furniture out (and all the other jobs he helped me do! Like tediously cleaning the glue off the front window from our sticker 😂). My dad (and my mum!), are my biggest supporters and have always backed my life’s decisions, big or small 🩵 I am, and always will be, so grateful for the universe sending me just the best parents 🩵 Also to my husband Neil, for patching out all my tiny picture frame holes 💁‍♀️, taking the day off work to help me paint the entire shop when I was so emotionally and physically DONE and for just always being there listening to all my ideas over the last 6 years. Knowing how much I loved the studio and what I created, but in turn, wanting a new adventure and supporting and holding my hand (and the tissues!), all the way to the very end. He really is my knight in shining armour and I love you so wewy MUCH! 🩵Lastly *grammys music starts playing*, to all my wonderful clients who have let me tattoo them over the last 11 years. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for trusting me, spending your hard earned money with me, listening to me waffle on about pregnancy or birth stories and supporting whatever new craft addiction I’ve discovered. Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve what I did, in the time I had 🩵 I sincerely hope I made your tattooing experiences memorable, comfortable and enjoyable enough to have a laugh together 🩵🥹 The stories I have heard, the people I have met, the art we created, will forever be close to my heart 🩵✌️-M

As of the 8th of May, Thorn & Rose Tattoo Parlour will be closing it doors. After 11 years in the tattoo industry, Miranda has decided to move on to a new profession. It is with sadness but also excitement that she announces this closure, as she is so grateful for all her amazing clients from the past 11 years and what she has accomplished over this time. Without all of you wonderful souls, she wouldn’t have been able to support her family and grow as an artist. Being the third woman in Rockhampton given the opportunity to gain a tattoo apprenticeship all those years ago, she is so honoured to have been a part of the growth of the tattoo industry into the inclusive, welcoming industry it is today.

Chloe Warren and Chloe Bates will post their plans soon so keep an eye out on their pages. If you have a gift voucher to use with Miranda, you have until the start of May to use it as all her vouchers are non refundable (gift vouchers labelled ‘MM Hughes Tattoo’ only). Miranda has plenty of time available before she leaves, so get onto a booking quickly as the last remaining time will book fast! Priority will be given to clients with work that needs finishing, but if you’d had a design in mind that needs that Miranda touch, nows your time before she leaves!

If you’d like to keep following Miranda in her creative adventures, give her other page .collective a follow ✌️ Feel free to post any questions in the comments or shoot her an email to [email protected] ✌️🩷 Thanks again for all your support 🩷 Cheers to new adventures! 🎉 -M 🩷
