You get the sense when you enter the shop that they "get it". The receptionist, Kerry, greets you with a smile and gets you checked in and all ready to go. Both Anna and Ben are amazing artists who are very conscientious and pay attention to the details. The tattoo books of their work are available up front and if you take a look you'll see the amazing work they're capable of. They include you in the process from the initial concept to the finish of your new amazing art piece. The hygiene is exceptional, the rooms are very clean and their tools are always very sanitary. They keep you in the loop while they're working and the aftercare instruction they provide is top notch. Essentially, a tattoo is only as good as the artist who performs it. If you're looking for a piece that you'll be proud of now and twenty years from now, Art and Soul is the place for you!

From the moment I arrived and through the few weeks to follow the care and communication was incredible. Many other friends with tattoo were amazed at her skilled artwork. I am now thinking about a second tattoo and Anna will be the artist for sure. Thank you for a wonderful experience and the opportunity to honor my daughter. Jim

She explained everything before she did it , made sure my daughter was comfortable, had my daughter check the placement and cleaned everything beforehand in front of us. My daughter said it didn't even hurt! After she explained the aftercare and made sure my daughter liked the placement. I would definitely recommend pleasure and pain. We will be going there for future piercings. Thanks Isis!

I cannot say enough good things about this shop and owner, Elize Nazelie. I emailed Elize back in…read more2015 inquiring about a half sleeve, which would soon turn into a full sleeve. She responded rather quickly (for a busy shop owner) - I sent her reference photos, and we then made an appointment for a consultation. The consultation was about 20 min and she drew on my arm detailing exactly what she would be doing and then traced that. No question was left unanswered. I then had multiple two hour sessions which I wasn't used to in my previous longer tattoo sessions, which was great. Elize always made sure I was comfortable, played awesome music, and always checked in on me to see if I was hanging in. Best tattoo experiences I've ever had, hands down. I refer this shop to literally everyone. Her books are closed right now, but I cannot wait to come to the new shop for another piece!

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!!

I was super stoked to see that he was tattooing locally right where I was working. I sent Joe and message on IG and told him I was interested in getting my leg sleeve filled in with lots of color and small tattoos. He was super kind, responded and told me to swing by the shop for a consult and some photos of the leg that evening. I was stoked to have him take a second out of his day to meet with me. Consult went great and he was cool as heck which was awesome. My schedule is super hectic and I travel a lot and I'm not a resident so I was worried he would be upset - total opposite. Dude pulled out a planner and started throwing all sorts of times and days out there "Wednesday at 640pm? Saturday at 10am? What works?" I laughed because that's how my schedule literally works we ended up getting a few sessions in and knocked out the rest of my leg! Joe was super hospitable to the MA area, recommend food places and things to see before I split! Thanks Joe for being so cool and kind! I'll be back to get work done!

If you're considering getting tattooed by her DO IT! It's not just a tattoo, her work can help you find the best parts of yourself. She's super talented, very skilled, and personable.
