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!

I can't say enough about Mulysa and her crew at Good Mojo!!! My daughter booked her first tattoo…read morewith Mulysa last week. 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. 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 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.

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!!

He took the time to walk me through my options, especially when I was debating the size of my tattoo, and made sure I felt completely comfortable before moving forward. For my script Andrew suggested I work with Sharon, and so glad I did! She is an absolute artist in every sense of the word. Her attention to detail, steady hand, and creative vision brought my idea to life even better than I imagined. She's not only talented, but also warm and easy to talk to, which made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. If you're looking for a studio with top-notch management and truly gifted artists, Witch City Ink is the place to go. I'll definitely be back :)

James is painstaking about his work and it shows in his work area too. Seriously, I have no reason to get tattooed at any other shop.
