Rose & Thorn is more than a tattoo studio-it's a haven of color, music, and belonging in the heart of a vibrant city. For Ruby Rose, the artist behind the ink, the studio is both a canvas and a sanctuary, a place where stories are etched in skin and friendships grow as wild as the flowers on her walls. When shy, talented songwriter Oscar Pine is welcomed into Ruby's eclectic circle of friends-a makeshift band as chaotic as they are kind-he finds himself swept into a world of open-mic nights, late-night rehearsals, and the messy, beautiful business of building a found family.
As Oscar's first tattoo marks his initiation and his music weaves into the group's sound, he begins to shed his old fears and step into the light. Through the seasons, the band navigates the highs and lows of gigs, creative blocks, and the complications of growing close. Ruby and Oscar's friendship deepens into something more, grounded in trust and mutual inspiration, even as nerves and self-doubt threaten to pull them apart.
From the cozy chaos of Rose & Thorn to the electric stage lights of local venues and city festivals, the group learns that harmony isn't found in perfection, but in the willingness to show up for each other-through every missed note, every new beginning, and every lasting mark. In the end, it's the stories they share and the love they choose that transform them all, leaving indelible marks on skin, walls, and hearts alike.
