Thank You Ronnie

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!

You can tell he truly cares about his work and his clients. The environment was just as impressive welcoming professional and a great vibe all around. I felt comfortable from start to finish. I will definitely try to be back 100 percent.

Professional, laid back and friendly. He walked me through the process and, checked in with me throughout. Casa Ink is bright, clean and welcoming. I was greeted right away, and several employees spoke to me. I scheduled with Daniel based on his work on Instagram, and he delivered. I'm happy with the result and couldn't have asked for a better first experience.

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.

Going back to see that Barron has his own tattoo studio and has filled it with amazing artists, is a huge step for him in this very progressive and competitive business. We loved our artist, James. He was professional, warm, and happily added a small adjustment to my tattoo with a "no problem". I seriously have nothing to add to my wish list, except for maybe they can add a studio in Georgia...

His professionalism is unsurpassed. I can't say enough about how happy I am with the tattoos I've gotten from James and working with him from design to touch-up has equally great. The new shop is comfortable with a nice big couch in the waiting area, lots of cool art and interesting antique things. The tattooing area is spacious and you can tell the equipment is all top notch. 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.

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!!
