I just walk in, Holly's free, we talk - she's amazing but....what I want isn't really her specialty. She refers me to the uber talented Deitsch. Turns out the tat of my dreams (very ornate dragon) is his specialty. I like & trust him immediately, great, draw what you want, no, really, have at it. And I end up with THE most beautiful piece of art. Clean lines, clear colors. My total vision. Can't wait to add on to it! If you're thinking of adding a piece of art to your body, this is the place.

I got one tattoo 15 years ago in Portsmouth in honor of my oldest son, three kids later and I am thinking (mostly because the bastards are asking for "their" tattoos) that it is time to add on. This week decided to "test drive" this new studio with a small tattoo of two intertwining hearts in honor of my 20th wedding anniversary. Jaesun was very polite and did not talk down to me. It was not busy but probably because it is relatively new. It was clean and everyone seemed happy to be working there. I explained to Jaesun what I wanted, he designed it and we were inking it, baby. I definitely will be back for the next two I am thinking of getting. Bring Cash, that is all they accept right now.

Tyler Introduced himself took my photos and we had a pretty detailed discussion about what I hoped to accomplish. He took my idea and elated it considerably. He went back to his studio and came up with some stencils, worked my ideas and the final product was more than I could have hoped for. This is session one of two- hope to complete begining of Feb.

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!
