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!

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!

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!

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!
