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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Marina was running the shop herself and took care of 3 clients in a short period of time without rushing. she was super kind and helpful even though i didn't get my piercing here. she let me know my options and i chose to replace the bottom disc of a floating naval with a ball since the disc was digging into me. after she replaced the disc, i nearly immediately started feeling better. the disc had swollen the area around my naval, but the ball nearly immediately settled it. the bar already seems much longer due to the swelling going down after about 14 hours. she was patient, helpful and caring. i appreciate that she cared about my healing more than the place i got the piercing done from! and i love her pink gloves and matching supplies. comfortable waiting room, piercing room, good vibes. i love that they separated the piercing and tattoo sections. wonderful customer service. thank you for not treating clients like a burden.

I had a very disappointing experience with Zach Young. The tattoo I received looks nothing like the…read moredesign we discussed and agreed upon beforehand. I came in with clear ideas and references, but very little of what I asked for was actually incorporated into the final piece. What's most frustrating is the apparent lack of effort. When I compare my tattoo to other work he has done, the difference in quality and attention to detail is hard to ignore. My piece feels rushed and poorly executed, with minimal care taken to match the concept we had planned. Getting a tattoo is a permanent and personal decision, so it's important to feel heard and confident in your artist. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience here. I would strongly recommend that others carefully review his work and ensure clear communication before committing. Also, he admitted to me that he has been drunk while doing other clients work in the past and had alcohol at his station in the shop. That begs the question if he was drunk while doing mine.
