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 had been reassured that John was aware of my request plus I had submitted pictures. A simple black & gray tattoo that maybe should have taken an hour to do. Instead, I have 5 flower heads without stems or leaves that cost more than double what I was expecting. There is no way to rectify this. The script is completely obscured. To say that I'm not happy is an understatement. This is why I felt the need to have a consultation. Obviously, he did not understand what I meant. Flower at the base of my neck, leaves on either side of script & stem running down my back around the words. This tattoo looks nothing like what I asked for. Avoid at all costs!!!

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.

When we arrived, she had designs and recommendations ready to review.

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.

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.

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!
