It was a last minute idea while in town during our honeymoon. I decided a tattoo would last way longer than a hoodie and Lisa definitely added to the experience. I had reached out to a couple places and it came off as kind of an inconvenience, but not Good Mojo. They communicated quickly with me and kept me posted on appointments cancelling through the day until the perfect time lined up. I LOVE the ambience there! The staff is prompt, sweet (in the edgy kind of way that I love) and very accommodating. The location was easy to find and super clean, especially with the COVID-19 requirements. I live in Upstate NY, but absolutely will keep Lisa on my radar to get future work done! Thank you so much for the "souvenir"

What an amazing experience for my first tattoo. I'd been planning and thinking about getting one for a long time (I'm 56!) and when I asked my friends here on the North Shore, everyone suggested I work with Lisa at Good Mojo Tattoos. She was amazing! Over a few months we slowly went over my design thoughts, and she came up with a few ideas. We patiently worked together to tweak it and come up with something that I felt would really combine my home country roots and my #BetheHammer attitude that has come from my 10+ years of endurance racing. Right until the day of the tattoo, Lisa openly worked with me until the design was exactly what I wanted, including changing the location of the tattoo on my body. The process itself was quick with only a slight discomfort at times. Nothing more than a bit of stinging here and there. I was given clear instructions about after-care and have been over-joyed with the final result. I don't know if there is a second tattoo in my future, but if so, it will be with Lisa at "Good Mojo Tattoos". I also want to thank Melissa who scheduled all of my visits. She was courteous and so helpful as well.

GMT is phenomenal. Period. I have been a client at GMT for easily over a decade. I wanted a tattoo, did my research, and determined that this was the shop for me. My first ink there was done by Lisa, who was fun, kind, compassionate, very agreeable and able to do what I wanted (Hebrew text), and did it all with expert workmanship. She was able to include nuances in my text that were extremely important to me and the experience was just.... fun, fast, and respectful of the meaning of my tattoo. All of my following appointments have been with Mulysa, the shop owner. I loved her style and artistry - she is an amazing illustrator. She is professional, uber-clean, efficient and does everything in her power to ensure her clients have an enjoyable experience with amazing results. We watch movies or listen to funny podcasts! I have never felt rushed and Mulysa will stop whenever I need to her and she'll usually bring me water and/or Dum-Dums. :D Mulysa has worked for years on an ongoing memorial sleeve for me and whenever it is visible, I get stopped by people of ALL generations who are just floored by its beauty. Mulysa's work makes non-tattoo fans stop and reconsider what it means to wear a tattoo. I have beautiful artwork that I proudly display and have heard more than once that "I didn't know tattoos could look like that!" And while the quality and talent of the GMT crew, I feel, is a given under her leadership, Mulysa has gone far beyond an artist's duties for me on more than one occasion... and in ways that deeply impact the soul. When my beloved dog passed, she squeezed me in immediately to put her likeness on my wrist, knowing how devastated I was. When my sister-in-law was in town for the weekend from Detroit, just after her husband passed away, Mulysa made it possible for her to get in and get a remembrance tattoo done while she was here.... and my sister-in-law sobbed openly in the shop when it was done. She was so moved by the experience, and the care and compassion Mulysa showed was just unbelievable. She didn't have to do all that, but she did. She knows tattoos are so much more than the materials that go into the artwork or even the images themselves. They are an outward representation of our humanity, both good and bad. My husband has been tattooed by Lisa and Bri. My daughter has been tattooed by Mulysa and Jason (I believe). We love them all and recommend each and every one of them. We also really appreciate the friendliness and efficiency of the front desk staff -- they are easy to get a hold of and quick to respond. The shop is GORGEOUS -- clean and inviting (they have those couches that are impossible to get out of....zzzzzzz). Parking is no issue as there is a lot in the back. Consultations are through and informative -- if you don't get what you want after that, it's on you. Aftercare is clear and they give you documentation and a bit of lotion to take with you. I've never had any issues healing and GMT has been available for me when I was a newbie and wasn't sure about something. I am not related to anyone in this shop, not BFFs with anyone, and make no money or receive no discounts for anything I've said here. Good Mojo Tattoos is a class act, the BEST and most welcoming and professional tattoo shop I've ever experienced, and I will 10000% recommend anyone I know (and don't know) to visit. Anyone who says otherwise -- I have to tell you -- is totally F.O.S.. You "one-star" people are out of your mind, ignorant, completely disrespectful and I hope you don't come back so the rest of us can get more work done.

I had a fabulous experience at Good Mojo Tattoo. I called about same day availability for a simple design and, lucky me, I was able to get in that evening. In the past, I've felt intimidated at other tattoo places, but the lovely individual at the front desk (whose name I never got) made me feel so at ease and heard over the phone, over email when discussing the design, and in person. Walking into the shop, I immediately felt the good mojo- the smell, the decor and the layout created such a clean and comfortable atmosphere. My artist was Tara. She was friendly and very attentive, and she did a beautiful job with my tattoo- I'll definitely be returning to her in the future. I don't normally write reviews, but I had such a great experience I needed to sing my praises.

Great experience, the artist was very helpful in how it should be done. Me being a rookie to the art of tattoo is was a great experience. Tara is awesome. Thanks again.

My fiance and I have traveled to Salem every summer for the last six years. Every year, I kept meaning to get tattooed at one of the shops, but I never seemed to actually get there. Then, I went through a particularly rough "dark night of the soul" from May 2017 through just about the Spring Equinox of this year. Three weeks before my fiance and I were going to drive up to Salem from Staten Island, I was hit with inspiration/the tattoo bug and contacted Good Mojo to set up an appointment. The woman I spoke to on the phone (I believe her name is Lauren) was incredibly sweet and very helpful. Inkwitch Lisa was the artist who did my piece, and she was also incredibly sweet, very knowledgeable and talented, and (if you couldn't tell by the name) very much a Witch. ;) The entire studio is absolutely gorgeous--I can't speak to the other artists' rooms (I suspect they're very similar), but Inkwitch Lisa's room was this Pagan tattoo addict's haven. Due to the deeply personal and spiritual significance of the design, it was very important to me that the artist who did this piece be a Witch (or some denomination of Pagan, or at least Pagan friendly) and a woman. I needed to be able to explain the actual meaning behind the tattoo and not only feel comfortable sharing the information, but know that the person sitting on the other side of the tattoo gun truly Got It. Inkwitch Lisa definitely Got It (she referred to my tattoo at one point as a medicinal still-life, which pretty much sums it up perfectly). I highly recommend Good Mojo Tattoos, particularly to those of the Pagan persuasion--there really is something to be said for getting tattooed in a Witch-owned and operated shop!

It's taken me a long time to write this, but I cannot recommend this place highly enough! IT IS AMAZING!!! I came in for my first two tattoos, and they were fairly small. I went to Jax and she made me feel incredibly safe and comfortable, answering all of my questions. She took the time to replace my wrist tattoo and ankle tattoo a few times each. The tattoos she did were clean and healed amazingly and so quickly. I got another tattoo back home about a month later, and I had a few concerns. I trusted Jax and reached out to her, and she reassured me, offered advice, and was wonderful in calming me for a tattoo *she didn't even do*!!! I will be going to her for all future tattoos, as I trust her completely and know how much she cares for her clients. She does incredible line work and she does some really beautiful larger colored pieces that I hope to one day get from her. I definitely recommend going to her for any tattoo, big or small, first tattoo or 20th. She is so talented and I'm thrilled to have had her put these meaningful tattoos on me! I really can't recommend her enough!

I recently had my FIRST tattoo finished at Good Mojo. I decided with so much canvas I'd better go big or go home. I'm really happy I did! The whole experience was great! You know you've found the right artist when they get as squealy and bouncy about your tattoo ideas as you do. Mulysa was well worth the wait list. The waiting room had this great parlor feel, and I'm a fan of the lack of flash art hanging on the walls you normally see. Instead, there's plush Victorian furniture with art deco antiques and a great ritual/wiccan feel. The friend who came with me commented that this is how she wished other Salem area tattoo shops felt. The rest of the staff I met were great too. Kelly at the front desk was fabulous and seems to have an undying love for peanutbutter cups. Tara popped in and told me all about the props and pitfalls of white ink and color in general. All in all everyone was weird and awesome and I don't think I'll ever go anywhere else for ink.

I had been itching to get tattooed by Mulysa Mayhem for some time, because., well, just look at her work - it speaks for itself. The quality is outstanding and the details in each and every piece are immaculate. Although I had originally chosen another artist to do my phoenix, it was important to me that whoever did it understood the personal and symbolic significance behind the tattoo. Thanks to the universe, Mulysa and I randomly crossed paths while out and about one day, and she agreed to do the tattoo of my dreams - a phoenix rising out of fire and ashes. With Mulysa being extremely knowledgable of anything/everything magickal, no one is better suited for this project than her. Less than a month later, I was in the shop for a consult (which Mulysa came in on her day off to meet me), then shortly after, given a list of scheduled appointments to get the process going! Before I knew it, I was at my first appointment for the outline, and so began the birth of my phoenix. I'm on my 5th session of the piece, and it exceeds my expectations. I only showed Mulysa a few pictures of reference material and answered a few of her questions regarding what I wanted, and the phoenix is beyond my wildest dreams. It's crazy how she was able to take my vision and make it a perfect masterpiece to adorn my body. The placement on my body flatters my curves, and the red, yellow, and orange pigments of ink compliment the white of my pale skin perfectly. Without Mulysa's talent, dedication, and undying commitment to making this tattoo the best possible, it wouldn't be what it is. Having the phoenix on me for life empowers me, and brings out an inner strength I didn't know existed in me prior. Getting work done at Good Mojo really is like having a spell casted in your skin! I have a ways to go with my phoenix, but I'm extremely happy with the progress of it so far. While I can't wait 'till it's finished, I'm enjoying each and every one of my sessions with Mulysa, because they are always full of good laughs, meaningful conversation, and all around awesomeness! I will be going back to Mulysa for other work, as well as Inkwitch Lisa, Tara, and Carly. You won't find a better tattoo shop that has both top-notch work and amazing people anywhere else.

Good Mojo is the third tattoo shop I have been to and it is by far my favorite! I remember when I was planning my first tattoo, it was critical that I found a tattoo shop with kind-souled humans who make me feel comfortable and not intimidated. Good Mojo is just that! Filled with all lady tattoo artists (by accident), their smiles, laughter, and deep knowledge of tattooing reminds me that I am in good hands. I have worked with Carly M. twice, first for a big bird in a small cage on my right calf and most recently the space needle on my stomach (it looks better than it sounds). She is amazing! She fully absorbed what I am looking for and truly exceeded my expectations. She will be working on both my sleeves, without a doubt. What sets Good Mojo apart from the other places I have been to: 1. The lighthearted and comfortable atmosphere. The waiting area sort of feels like a true zen experience... you'll understand later. 2. Easy and *fun* to work with. If you work with Carly, expect some great laughter. 3. Great professionalism I travel from Boston to these guys... you should too.

Friendly receptionists? Check Amazing interior decorations? Check Extremely talented artists? Check check check How much I love my tattoos? Check times infinity My artist was Jason, and I really wanted him to do my tattoos because I knew he did amazing line work and shading. I came to him with a design I really loved and he was super friendly and open about it--not dismissive or rude at all. Jason is really patient, down to earth, a real talkative guy--which was perfect for me since this was my first tattoo and I was a bit nervous. The first session took about 40 minutes and the second, a little under two hours. The way Jason did it, my tattoo didn't hurt at all, and it goes down the middle of my spine. When it was done, I fell in love with it. I'm going back in January for a touch up and some new details! If you want to get really detailed line work in, or horror-themed stuff (that's his favorite genre), you should definitely definitely ask for Jason. Beverly is quite a trek for me to get to, but the trip is so worth it for a tattoo here.
