We went for walk-in tattoos, 2 tattoos and same design that we provided images for copying…read more Honestly the tattoo itself is decent but the artist was SUPER heavy handed and cut both of us in multiple spots. We're both pretty heavily tatted and generally sit great but both of us were twitching and flinching in obvious pain throughout the entire tattoo. Not sure if the machine speed was off or this was his standard style (he mentioned we sat super well which was funny to us since it was the worst we've ever sat). Besides the tattoo issues, the shop in general was definitely in need of a deep cleaning! There were lots of cobwebs and dust on fixtures and the bathroom was literally a construction site. We love supporting local shops and artists, but definitely won't be back here.

My daughter and I were making our way down the strip. The Black Veil caught our eye so of course we…read morehad to make our way in. This place is dark, mysterious and beautiful at the same time. The setting of this store is mysteriously romantic but with a very dark tone. I loved the floral placement, the lighting, how everything is perfectly placed. The most beautiful piece in this store is that huge, ornate mirror in the back corner. A stunning piece that I'm sure is not for sale. But what a stunner that added so a romantic feel to the store. On the other side of that romantic tone is the dark side of it. The decor, the art, the books are very dark. It's a lot to take in but at the same time very intriguing. It's eerie but not eerie enough to scare you. Honestly, the perfect shop for your decor if your lifestyle craves that rich dark note to it. Staff was friendly. Store is beautiful. I didn't realize that there was a tattoo joint in the back. My daughter wanted a tat while we were in Salem so that would have been dope to get one here. I don't know when we will be back in Salem but I look forward to stopping in and checking everything out again.

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.

I came later to swap out my jewelry for my brow (that I got pierced at another shop) because it needed to be upsized. Since then, no issues with it! They were also honest with me when I asked if I had the anatomy for a bridge (I don't ), which I really appreciated. I've also gotten three tattoos here and the artists are all so talented. The vibe from the rest of the staff is very laidback, chill, and welcoming. I love being a client here

A week prior I had found Tom on Instagram and was amazed by his black and gray work. Immediately he was kind and responsive to emails. I sent Tom an idea of what I wanted and asked him to make it a bit more unique. He sent me an amazing sketch a few days later and I headed to the shop. Upon arrival everyone was nice and professional and the shop was clean. Tom worked fast, was friendly and had a light hand. The tattoo came out beautifully. I will be back!

I came in for the Friday the 13th special, not knowing what the designs would be. My artist was…read moreJimmy, and I chose a design for my inner arm. The guy at the front desk helped me align it and said it would fit well. I picked a woman's face framed by a rose. I wish they would have let me know that it was a poor placement before putting the stencil on. The first part went fine, but shortly after doing part of the initial outline he told me that it would hurt a lot more when he began the inside of my arm. I tried to get through it, but eventually we decided to ditch the rose and just keep the face. Even though I got half the tattoo, I paid the full price. It looks great (and his lines are incredible) but I only got half of what I paid for. If I been advised about the placement, I probably would have chosen a different spot. Overall, the art is great and the staff are accommodating, but you might not get the best advice and end up leaving with half a tattoo.

I had a bunch of ideas for what i wanted to get done but nothing specific and i was all over the place with ideas and Jarod sat down with me and talked about my ideas and was so helpful in making my vision come true! That meant so much to me I've consulted other artists before and they were onLy interested in booking the appointment not helping with the vision behind it. Together we came up with what i wanted and tattooed it all the same day i walked in. The staff are all super friendly and the shop is very clean and up to date. I was also pierced here shortly after! Nothing but great things to say! Highly recommend if you're on the North Shore coming by! They also sell tattoo supplies for artists and 7 Deadly Sins shirts and hoodies which are sick! 5 stiz-ars ya bishhhh

The guy tattooing was very rude during the tattoo and was aggravated because he was tattooing so many people but it's his shop? If you don't want to do the special you don't have to... He was also very rude to my friend who got her tattoo at the same time. He made a comment about other tattoos she has, one of which is a quote, and said that "tattoos should be looked at, not read" which is uncalled for especially coming from a "tattoo artist" The final nail in the coffin is how busted my tattoo ended up being. What I thought would be a simple tattoo ended up being the worst decision I have ever made. I have other tattoos and have never bruised from them, but this one was bruised for weeks and concerned myself and my friends to the point where I considered going to the hospital to get it looked at because it was just not healing. He was very heavy handed with the needle as well. I know tattoos hurt but it felt as if this man was trying to tattoo my bone. After the tattoo finally healed the lines ended up being super blown out and uneven, and I am embarrassed that I have this thing on me for the rest of my life. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at ALL costs.

I want to start off with saying that the energy is awesome here. Super chill, nice guys- however, I…read morerecommend only going if you're local. I was there at the beginning of August with a group of girls for a bachelorette. We all wanted to get tattoos to commemorate, and I chose a small moon. Balthazar / Jesus did mine. Im annoyed because it didn't heal well. i'm a strict rule follower, and kept the covering on for about 4 days. Have cleaned it and cared for it properly, yet the inside didn't keep the ink. I talk to another tattoo artist here in Nevada and she said it was probably because the skin swelled and he wasn't able to get it properly. now I'm having to pay more to get it filled. $100 plus tip later + what i have to now pay to get it fixed. I will say! all of the other girls' tattoos healed beautifully. i'm not saying don't go, but don't go if you're help not local I can't get it fixed.
