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. I realize this is potentially an impossible task but when I returned to have a touch up, Jason did not even see what was lacking. The end result looks dead and hollow to me.

We traveled to Salem for our 11th wedding anniversary + my 40th birthday that is at the end of this…read moremonth. I knew that I wanted to get a tattoo to commemorate the trip. 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!

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.

Very friendly and accommodating. Went for bellybutton piercing and no pain whatsoever.read more

Cleanest tattoo shop I have ever seen. The staff at Kingdom Tattoo were so friendly and welcoming,…read moreand the artists are truly excellent. The location right in Danvers Square is super convenient too. Our family wanted to do something special for our Yai Yai, who is turning 90 in July. She has the most beautiful handwriting, so we decided to use her script saying "Love You More" for matching family tattoos. Peter (@Petermon.tattoo) was absolutely amazing. He coordinated and accommodated 8 family members in one day -- some getting simple script tattoos while helping others create custom designs incorporating Yai Yai's handwriting. The best part was when Yai Yai unexpectedly stopped by and decided she wanted a tattoo too! Peter happily tattooed her, making her his oldest customer ever. He was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming to everyone, and he made Yai Yai feel so special. We had 3 generations of family tattooed together on the same day, and it became such a meaningful memory for all of us. We all had a blast. Thank you Peter for everything You helped make our LOVE YOU MORE tattoo crew's vision a reality! Family is forever... so are our tattoos Highly recommend Kingdom Tattoo and especially Peter for anyone looking a talented artist and an unforgettable experience.

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.

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.
