Guy told me to message them on IG cuz it would be better to communicate about the tattoo I wanted. Nope took days for them to communicate and also believe it was multiple ppl messaging at the same time. (Because they would ask same question that I just answered). The conversation just went around the bush and I had to call again. They thought I was playing around. Day came and went in. Nobody was at the desk. No communication still until they were ready to tattoo u. They got a 2 because 1 they r the cheapest shop in Salem! 2 they r the only ones that do flash tats. The girls there do awesome tats! I had one she was good. I also messaged her on IG after the fact and she messaged right back!!

I went to 3 different tattoo shops to get an idea and a feel for their place before I decided on Merk Ink Tattoo Studio. I liked the vibe and feel of Merk Ink and I thought the woman at the front desk was very friendly and personable. It had been almost 21 years since my last tattoo so I was a bit nervous at first. She introduced me to Ireland who was very professional and made the entire session smooth and comfortable from start to finish. I decided on a small pumpkin with no color just above my wrist. The whole session took maybe an hour or so and I was obsessed with the tattoo once he was done - it was exactly what I wanted. It has been a week now and I can still say that I love my tattoo as it is healing and I am so happy that I chose Merk Ink! I will definitely be back to see Ireland the next time I visit Salem! Check them out for great work - I highly recommend!

I cannot say enough amazing things about this business and the people that work there. It was a very smooth check in process, and they had many wonderful flash designs to choose from. The ambience was great as well, calming, artistic, and it smelled amazing in there! I was nervous, as expected, since it was my first tattoo. The wonderful Alexis was so kind and comforting and made my first experience very memorable. She is amazing at what she does, and it was a pleasure to get to talk with her. I will definitely be going back to Alexis and Salem Ink for any future tattoos. Thank you Alexis and Salem Ink!

It's important to note that they only take walk ins for the months of September and October so don't be surprised if it's very busy and you have to wait some time before you can get your piece done! Staff was considerate and patient even with the chaos :). Sharon did my piece and it turned out perfectly! I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone looking for a little souvenir piece from their Salem trip!

My daughter and I were making our way down the strip. The Black Veil caught our eye so of course we…read morehad to make our way in. This place is dark, mysterious and beautiful at the same time. The setting of this store is mysteriously romantic but with a very dark tone. I loved the floral placement, the lighting, how everything is perfectly placed. The most beautiful piece in this store is that huge, ornate mirror in the back corner. A stunning piece that I'm sure is not for sale. But what a stunner that added so a romantic feel to the store. On the other side of that romantic tone is the dark side of it. The decor, the art, the books are very dark. It's a lot to take in but at the same time very intriguing. It's eerie but not eerie enough to scare you. Honestly, the perfect shop for your decor if your lifestyle craves that rich dark note to it. Staff was friendly. Store is beautiful. I didn't realize that there was a tattoo joint in the back. My daughter wanted a tat while we were in Salem so that would have been dope to get one here. I don't know when we will be back in Salem but I look forward to stopping in and checking everything out again.

We stopped into The Black Veil Studio while walking around and window shopping…read more The vibe inside of The Black Veil Studio encompassed Salem and all of it's witchiness. The interior was so beautiful and scary, but in a classy way. There were unique book editions and artwork everywhere. I took home an Ozzy Osbourne post card that fit perfectly on my refrigerator. I actually didn't realize that they are also a tattoo studio - that would have been cool to check out, but I was so distracted and intrigued with the front of the store that I never even noticed. Staff were very friendly and approachable! I highly suggest checking out The Black Veil Studio whether it is for a tattoo or to check out their awesome items for sale.

From the first call, booking process, my follow up call (Mom with no tattoos and lots of question) Everyone was welcoming and informative. Then, we arrived! Everyone was even more welcoming in person!! The salon was clean, and Mulysa was amazing! She cared for my daughter as if she was her own. When we arrived, she had designs and recommendations ready to review. She checked in with my daughters to be sure she was good throughout the process When she was done, there was some pomp and circumstance having received her first tattoo!! A gift bag with a necklace, and sticker, Good Mojo bumper sticker, as well as complete and detailed care instructions. I would highly recommend Good Mojo!!! #Knowyourworth

He worked from a very special photo of my beloved cat and failed to portray the adorable tilt of the head and the magical sparkle in his eye.
