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.

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!

I can't say enough about Mulysa and her crew at Good Mojo!!! My daughter booked her first tattoo…read morewith Mulysa last week. 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.

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!!

Cleanest tattoo shop I have ever seen. The staff at Kingdom Tattoo were so friendly and welcoming,…read moreand the artists are truly excellent. The location right in Danvers Square is super convenient too. Our family wanted to do something special for our Yai Yai, who is turning 90 in July. She has the most beautiful handwriting, so we decided to use her script saying "Love You More" for matching family tattoos. Peter (@Petermon.tattoo) was absolutely amazing. He coordinated and accommodated 8 family members in one day -- some getting simple script tattoos while helping others create custom designs incorporating Yai Yai's handwriting. The best part was when Yai Yai unexpectedly stopped by and decided she wanted a tattoo too! Peter happily tattooed her, making her his oldest customer ever. He was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming to everyone, and he made Yai Yai feel so special. We had 3 generations of family tattooed together on the same day, and it became such a meaningful memory for all of us. We all had a blast. Thank you Peter for everything You helped make our LOVE YOU MORE tattoo crew's vision a reality! Family is forever... so are our tattoos Highly recommend Kingdom Tattoo and especially Peter for anyone looking a talented artist and an unforgettable experience.

He took the time to walk me through my options, especially when I was debating the size of my tattoo, and made sure I felt completely comfortable before moving forward. For my script Andrew suggested I work with Sharon, and so glad I did! She is an absolute artist in every sense of the word. Her attention to detail, steady hand, and creative vision brought my idea to life even better than I imagined. She's not only talented, but also warm and easy to talk to, which made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. If you're looking for a studio with top-notch management and truly gifted artists, Witch City Ink is the place to go. I'll definitely be back :)

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.
