BEST TATTOOS ON THE WEST COAST…read more Went here just a few hours ago for my very first tattoo with some friends while on a road trip. Let me just say, if you are looking for an amazing environment, with totally inviting and just plain cool people to get your first tattoo from, this is the place. Todd and Sam were our artists this time - both whom we all made connections with and had a great time getting to know. We will DEFINITELY be back next time we come trough Salem!!

I had been wanting a memorial tattoo for a beloved Malamute that passed away for awhile. I lived…read morein Portland at the time, and it was so hard to get into the really good artists, that I gave up. Then, we moved to Salem. I decided after two years to try to get the tattoo again. I decided to look in the Salem area, but didn't think I would find someone as good as the best PDX artists. Then, my partner came across Dark Star's portfolio and we were really impressed. It was hard to pick between Ryan, Tim and Eric, as they all seemed excellent. But, Tim seemed to be strongest in realism and black and white, and that's what I wanted, so I went with him. I'm so happy that I went with Dark Star and Tim. Incredible work. It could not have turned out any better. His ability to create accurate dimension in a realism piece is a rare gift. He also has a light touch, so the pain wasn't as bad as I expected. The shop and Tim are also very obsessive about keeping everything clean and sanitary. Also, it seems the artists all like each other, so the atmosphere is fun and comfortable. And the prices are also more than reasonable. My only hesitation in writing this is that I am going to want more work from Tim and I don't want him to get so booked that it takes months to see him. :-)

She has talent flowing through her! I came in and was getting ready and the sound of the tattoo machine in the booth next to hers was making me a little anxious and she explained to me that she was going to use a rotary machine for me and it was almost silent. I am so happy with the work she did and I don't know how Katt did it but she instilled confidence in me that i didn't know I could possess. FYI THEY DO CASH. My dumb ass didn't show up with cash so I had to go to Freddy's to use the ATM HAHA oops that was on me Update: Katt did it again!!! She blew me away. And without me telling her Katt knew some how my sister's name translated in Native America to Monarch Butterfly and she did the butterfly (represents my sister) as a Monarch. She is amazing!!!
