Fantastic work, cool guy, will definitely be returning in the future. Loren is awesome, thank you!

Snake Pit Left

Clean. Friendly. Pam is the best.

Ed Joseph

Horrendous tattoo and when I returned after removing the bandage the artist twisted my hand. Looks like he learned his skill in prison! A 5 yr old could have done better! Avoid!!!

Campbell Rowe

Awesome job. Got tattooed by Nicole in a normally painful spot under the arm, but was a walk in the park. She did a great job.

Sara Fitzpatrick

Loren is a fantastic artist. Everybody there is very easy to get along with. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. I'd recommend this shop to anybody

I waited till I was 45 to get my first tattoo & the 75 th anniversary of Sturgis rally & was so so excited to get finally while at Rapid City HD. Well what a nightmare when I sat in the chair & the guy was a complete jerk . Made my arm looks a pile of poop instead of art work . People laughed at the scare from to much pressure & you couldn’t read the writing & no details at all. It looked like it said Honda Davidson instead of Harley Davidson . I went back to the 76th anniversary & had the owner reworked after looking at this mess for a year . He touched it up & looks a bit better now which it couldn’t get any worse. He was apologetic & knew the artist did on purpose I know . The artist was from Cleveland Ohio & I said oh cool Drew Carey from Cleveland & he committed back “I hate Drew Carey” & proceeded to destroy my arm . Also the owner charged me to fix his artist mess which I can’t keep quiet no more after several years of dealing with this horrible nightmare of my first tattoo. They make there $ doing lots of Tattoos NOT quality tattoos.

I got a tattoo from here a few years ago, and it's simply beautiful! When I am ready for another (and I'm tossing around a few ideas) I'll be coming back here to get them done!

I got my ear peirced at there other location and the lady who did it messed up... She used to small of a gauge, didnt ask me what type of jewelry I wanted and gave me a stud for a cartilage piercing... I came here 2 days after O got it done because the stud kept getting caught on EVERYTHING! Mandy, the lady who fixed it, was so nice, she showed me the jewelry she was using, told me the gauge and told me what she was doing as she went threw the process of fixing it.

Sharon Middleton

Great tattoo artist.

Natalie Slack

We love Thrash's. As a couple we've received two piercings and five tattoos at this shop over the course of 11 years. Kevin Troxel is a phenomenal free hand artist and Matt Thrash keeps a world-class, clean, shop that works hard to make everyone feel at home. There isn't any other shop I've been in, across the US, that rivals Thrash's.

The work the artist did was top notch no problem with that part. But if you are you g to get ink get everything in writing first I put a 100 dollar deposit down on a piece that was quooted at 5 or 600 by Pam then got the work done the next morning. Come time to pay she charged me over 700 telling me she wrote it down In her. Book for that. That pure robbery and bullshut I shouldn't have had to pay max the day of over 500 instead she charged my card for almost 700 that tat ended up costing almost 800 dollars I HIGHLY recommend the guys next to the side back strip club can't remember dudes name but he us 6'6" and has dreads he did a,price on my shoulder which thrashed quoted at 600 for 450 and didny screw me on the pruce he kept his word. BE CAREFUL WITH THRASHERS GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING their work is top quality their billing is ROBBERY

The only reason I’m giving 2 stars is because the people were nice enough. The price and tattoo itself isn’t that great. Came in for a spur of the moment family tattoo with my cousins while we were in town for a funeral. I don’t remember any of the names of the people, but a female did my tattoo and it looks bad 2 months later... the fill work is below subpar, the line work is terrible, I couldn’t even hear the machine going, and she was super light handed. I will probably end up getting it covered because it looks terrible and will fade over time. And the price!?! YeH, we should have waited until we got home to get these tattoos. $125 for a tattoo the size of a quarter and no color, just lines. I’ll pass on getting any more tattoos in South Dakota when I’m there.

Mandy was amazing! My great grandma who is almost 80 has been to one tattoo shop before & had a bad experience. We came here to get our tragus piercings changed & I got my daith pierced. The service was wonderful, the shop was clean & tidy, mandy made my grandma feel very comfortable in an environment she normally wouldn't be comfortable in.

Josh Martin

Friendly, clean. Worth it.

bill patterson

Aaron's work is amazing and really fun guy during the work!!!!!!!

Jess Oster

AMAZING ARTIST and great, clean friendly Shop and Staff... Fav. Place of mine.

Amber Bailey

It was my first tattoo. Went really well not as bad as I expected at all. I did a lower back that will go up my spine eventually. After it healed though I noticed that there were inconsistencies in it. Not sure what happened I had stayed very still and I thought it went well at the time. The guy that did it was really nice and the design he came up with was great. But something went wrong because people that looked at it all noticed the inconsistent lines and filled in places weren't filled in well. It looked really off and I was upset that it was permanent and not looking as I expected. I talked to Loren the owner. He said come in I will fix it for free even though he isn't the one I paid to do it. He was really cool to chat with while he did it and he spent an hour redoing my tattoo. Afterwards it looked SO much better...i mean it looks great! I even asked to tip him but he refused. Loren is a busy guy but if you can wait and get an appointment with him I highly recommend it. Atmosphere at place is great and clean and prices are fair. And they stand by their work and take care of you. I'm sure the guy that first did mine is great or he wouldn't be there and something just went wrong. I had to do it twice but I'm happy!

Kim Pearson

Great experience! The tattoo artist was very friendly and did a awesome job! Thanks Amanda

David Scragg

Best shop in town, great artists, fair prices and clean shop!

Nena Atondo De Pizano

Aaron spent a wonder 4 hoUrs on my tattoo and the final was absolutely amazing!

Sandra Dionne

Aaron Pearcy is an exceptional tattoo artist!! I can’t say enough about how awesome my tattoo is

TJ Plume

Great people, great atmosphere, quality work and artists. Recommended highly

cody sanders

Looked like a run of the mill shop, nothing special. Full of 90s cherry creek type flash on walls. No original art, I'm sure they can do pinterest tattoos.

Jeremy Brown

Full of talent, great ideas and chill atmosphere.

Ricky Scull

Amazing tattoo's by amazing artist. Good people that make you feel comfortable during your visit.

Tiffani Ferguson

they do a awesome jobs

Michele Sorenson

Loren crushed it.....AGAIN!

Duane Langenfeld

Have used Kevin for several years now. He's engaging, intelligent, and, oh yea, tattoos. Love the facility, as it's always clean. Love the artists hygiene, always careful. Get that tattoo done.

Annaliese Duhé

Great music, got me in pretty easily for a small tattoo, and the atmosphere is laid back. Overall thought it was a reasonable price, and the receptionist was the bees knees!

Brandon Girard

The place was overpriced for the lack of quality work. Spent $125 on a tattoo that took 10 minutes. Basic tattoo with no shading. A couple of the lines aren't straight and they are thicker than the rest. Heard great things and that's why we picked Thrash's but we weren't impressed. Will not go back and would not recommend.

Jessica Nichols

Clean environment. Nice work. And my 16 yr old got her first tattoo.

A M

Was quoted $100 more than another tattoo shop quoted for the same drawing. It was a small lotus

Tiara Hinton

Absolutely love this spot! Loren did an amazing job! The place is clean and everyone was very receptive! Highly recommend!

John Ashby

Love it

Felt talked down to. Seemed like my artist wanted to do everything her way and not the way I wanted it or even where I wanted it. When things were uneven or lines were too thin and I asked her to improve upon them, I was met with constant excuses as to why she couldn't accommodate me. It's my money, my time and my body and I don't feel happy with the work done. I have to go to a different tattoo place to try to correct her "work" and get what I asked for and paid for. If your going to Sturgis for bike rally or any event in the area and want to get a tattoo.... definitely get one.... JUST NOT HERE if you want to get what you want.

Big Simp

A lot of time, a lot of detail, a sweet tatt by Aaron

Alana Hoven

Kevin did my tattoo back in January. I asked him to put together 3 pieces of art into one and he did more than I wanted. It’s beautiful and I’m obsessed!

Matthew Kingrey

This is the second time I've gone to thrashes tattoo to get a tattoo from Loren Gooden he does amazing work and if he doesn't think it's going to work he lets you know and always wants to make sure that you get the best product I would recommend him to anybody

Austin Bower

Great experience for my first time getting a tattoo. Aaron Pearcy does an amazing job! Will be back again!

Conner Limoges

Couldn't be happier with my experience at Thrash's! Aaron is an amazing artist and freehanded the sketch to make my idea unique. I'm in love with my new tattoo, I highly recommend Thrash's. Thank you so much, Aaron!

Manny Jimenez

Did a WONDERFUL job

Lee Smith

Excellent artists and a squeaky clean facility. Matt and his guys create quality art day after day, every day!

Ivan Drago

Kevin or whatever his name is came off a bit rude and walked off after I asked him about pricing on tattoos, everyone else was friendly and willing to talk probably won’t return. However I would recommend wild idea tattoo which is owned by the same folks I believe.
