UPDATE: The owner of Body Art Studio 13, Tony, reached out promptly and condoned Amy's actions, and…read moreemphasized the lack excuse for them, which was greatly appreciated. Amy also reached out and apologized. I'm unsure if I will consider the studio in the future, but I appreciate the follow up. Tony seems amazing, and I'm sure he runs an amazing studio- an unfortunate bad experience that is likely rare. My experience with Body Art Studio 13 started out positive. I had booked an appointment through Instagram DMs as instructed, had a lovely conversation with my artist's assistant, and sent my deposit to the artist that I had booked with- Amy Heath. However, at 11:30PM the night before my appointment, I received a text that my appointment had been cancelled. To preface a little bit: I had booked for two tattoos, and this would have been my first experience with tattoos. I greatly admired, and truly still do admire, the work of Amy- I was absolutely thrilled to be working with her and planned an hour long commute that was a rare opportunity in order to be tattooed by her. I sent her a quick DM asking why my appointment had been cancelled, and I decided to try calling her at 11:45PM. The first call had no answer, so I decided to just try one more time. She answered, said, "F*ck off, I'm in bed," and hung up. I will attach photos of the exchange that followed. I was truly excited for my appointment, and I would have understood Amy's frustration if she had been polite about it. I was very frustrated about the cancellation, as I took lots of time to pick an artist and studio that I felt would provide a good experience, but I did not stoop to the level of rudeness and extreme unprofessionalism that Amy did. Amy lost herself, and Body Art Studio 13, someone who would have been a very loyal patron. So disappointed.

I had such a great experience getting my first tattoo done by Amy (@inked_miss). Communication…read moreprior to my appointment was good, and pretty quick. The facility itself is beautiful- it's big and has lots of open space. A really relaxed atmosphere and not intimidating at all. Everyone I met while I was there was super nice, too. As far as the process itself, I felt extremely confident in how clean everything was and Amy's process was great- she took her time and explained what she was doing and why which made me feel at easy. She offered breaks consistently, checked in often, and very sweetly gave me both gum and a lollipop as a distraction. The tattoo itself came out great and she gave me easy and clear aftercare instructions, as well as a fast way to reach her should I have any additional questions, and offered touch ups over the next few months if I noticed any cracking or anything like that as it healed (my design had a lot of done lines). I will definitely be back for my next tattoo, Amy is fantastic and I had a great experience here!

I had an ear piercing done by Brie. She took the time to make sure I was comfortable as I was…read morenervous, and didn't rush me or through the process. She provided me with instructions on after-care, and requested I come back 6 weeks later so she could check on the healing process. I returned, and was told the piercing was healing well. Brie downsized the earrings and told me to continue with her after-care instructions including cleaning the piercing for another 6 weeks. I found Brie to be caring, kind, patient and honest. If you, or someone you know, is looking to get a piercing, I highly recommend Brie.

The person at the front desk was so patient and professional, the office was clean and had a great atmosphere and aesthetic, and Mikey, our piercer, was so wonderful! Mikey's work space is decked out in the coolest The Nightmare Before Christmas theme, which happens to be a movie my daughter had a brief obsession with not that long ago, so she instantly was so relaxed considering she was about to have her ears pierced! She was very excited but also expectedly very nervous, but Mikey explained every step so she knew what to expect and it was so quick and over in a flash she didn't even flinch! She absolutely loves her new pierced ears and is looking at them in the mirror every chance she gets. Minimal redness and swelling so far, Mikey gave us some after care instructions and the World's Best Business Card. Little details like that just show that this person loves their career and invests in themselves, and that's a person you can trust to give your kids, and yourself, the best possible piercing experience and outcome. Thank you, Unicorn Ink! I will recommend your studio every single time to any parent who ever asks where they should get their child's ears pierced, or anyone else for that matter!

I struggle HARD deciding on placement, it's the bane of my existence. Unlike other places I've gone, Egor offered honest input on placement, even though the stencils were tiny, weighing the benefits of different places as the ink ages, the way it will look when I change sizes, or move, etc. It made me feel much better & very confident about where to place the tat each time (1st time ever). But even more, he noticed a coverup that needs work (cover up for a cover up?!) - he didn't bring it up until I did, and once I asked for his thoughts he offered several solutions - never in a pushy way, he wasn't trying to sell, but provided several ideas to address the existing ink that had nothing to do with my appointment, & was just an overall great experience. Trustworthy af & is certainly where I will go for my next piece. Pic of 1/2 teeny tiny flash that I love sm.

I already had two piercings with butterfly backs but no one mentioned there is a different kind of back now where you screw a microscopic post into a tiny hole. I had to take them out for an MRI and can't get them back in because I have paralysis in my thumbs and arthritis in my hands. I called to see if they could exchange them for the type I wanted because I can't use these and he got very defensive. He kept telling me he has a client with 4 fingers and only one hand so my disability shouldn't be a problem. If he can overcome his then surely I should overcome mine, he insisted. I felt like I was talking to a child. There was no apology for the miscommunication, no offer to try to reorder them or take them back or even issue some kind of credit. He just kept blaming me, saying I should have asked when I came in wearing butterflies and having no idea these others existed. The bottom line: They don't take an ounce of responsibility for anything and are incredibly rude to someone who spent hundreds of dollars on something she can't use. Telling me I am wrong about my disability and insisting I can pay them to teach me to do it was the icing on the cake. You don't tell a disabled person that their disability isn't real and they can do something they can't if they really wanted to. I would rather pierce my own ear with a rusty nail than set foot in this scam of a place again.

My daughter and I were making our way down the strip. The Black Veil caught our eye so of course we…read morehad to make our way in. This place is dark, mysterious and beautiful at the same time. The setting of this store is mysteriously romantic but with a very dark tone. I loved the floral placement, the lighting, how everything is perfectly placed. The most beautiful piece in this store is that huge, ornate mirror in the back corner. A stunning piece that I'm sure is not for sale. But what a stunner that added so a romantic feel to the store. On the other side of that romantic tone is the dark side of it. The decor, the art, the books are very dark. It's a lot to take in but at the same time very intriguing. It's eerie but not eerie enough to scare you. Honestly, the perfect shop for your decor if your lifestyle craves that rich dark note to it. Staff was friendly. Store is beautiful. I didn't realize that there was a tattoo joint in the back. My daughter wanted a tat while we were in Salem so that would have been dope to get one here. I don't know when we will be back in Salem but I look forward to stopping in and checking everything out again.

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.

She is extraordinarily kind, compassionate, patient, warm, funny and technically skilled. If you've been considering reconstructive tattooing, Abbie will guide you through the process with incredible respect for the journey you've been on... and you will leave with great looking nipples! I went to see Abbie at The PArlor to get 3D nipple tattooing after a mastectomy. I knew I wanted to go this route, but I had been putting if off because I was scared and wanted to be sure I found a reconstructive tattoo artist who would give me a great outcome. The last thing I needed after this whole process was permanent, lousy looking nips! I could not be happier that I found Abbie. She is a PA and therefore approaches the process with a medical understanding that I found comforting. Abbie took great time to determine the location, size and color of the tattoos. She checked in with me repeatedly to be sure I was comfortable, feeling emotionally ok, and not having any pain. When I finally had a chance to see my new nips, I burt into tears. I love them and they made me feel sooooo much better. More like myself. Abbie started her practice as a personal "passion project," and it is clear that she remains extremely committed to this work. She let me bring a friend to the appointment, we played music, and she encouraged me make the day special. We called it "tit tat day." If you are thinking about reconstructive tattooing, I want you to know that you will be in excellent hands with Abbie. Im sorry anyone has to go through this journey, but Im glad there are treasures like Abbie to help us along the way.
