Best Tattoo Shops In Salem

“Cleanliness: First thing I noticed was how clean the shop is. He kept asking if I was ok, or if I needed a break. Nice guy, answered every question I had and to me went above and beyond what you would expect from a tattoo artist.

Stylist: Andy has done both my tattoos and I would not dream of going anywhere else. When I decided to get my 2nd tattoo, he had changed locations. I tracked him down. I'm not letting anyone else ink me, just saying.“

“My wife and I went to Lucky Squirrel for the first time a couple of days ago and had an excellent experience. My artist was Jeff and he was clean, made sure all his instruments and dyes were clean and he was very friendly. I needed an old tattoo recolored and added two more small tattoos. He got me in right away, did an excellent job on all of it, and at a really good price. I had a very good experience. I would highly recommend Lucky Squirrel.“

“Absolutely loved my experience here with Danielle!!Set your calendar reminder to book on the 1st of the month for consultation and she'll go over your idea on a video chat. She was quick and her detail work on my sweet little bees is adorableI get so many compliments on her work.“

“Mandie has been my tattoo artist for over 20yrs. I love her like family. She has done 9 of my tattoos. I'm looking forward to many more. I recommend Mandie to everyone that comments on my tattoos.“

“A+++ This is the real deal. May take a little to get into her, but there is a reason for that. Worth the wait. She is top notch and we are lucky to have her in our area!!! ??? Even if you have to drive hours, this is who you want.“

“Very professional, very accommodating, really great work. Nice to have work done in a private space by a licensed experienced artist.“

“Anne is a very talented amazing artist! She totally knew exactly what I was thinking and impressed me beyond belief! I get so many compliments on my tattoos! Will post another review and pictures as soon as we finish my sleeve!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I got my jellyfish finished/revamped by Cilla recently and I seriously CANT RECCOMMEND her enough! I have a continuous blood glucose reader on my arm and she took such good care and empathy while working on the arm and is just an all around amazing soul who does excellent work with a caring touch! I can't wait to go back to this beautiful shop to see this beautiful person again!“

“Roary is an amazing artist. He has done both small and large tattoos on me with very high attention to detail. He’s also got great “bedside manner” always making you laugh and checking in on you during the process. Additionally, my partner and I both identify as cis-gay men and we both have felt extremely comfortable/safe working with Roary. He is a great ally and helps create a very inclusive, safe environment!“

“These guys are amazing. My friend and I walked in with the designs in mind and they drew out the design for editing and sizing. They were kind and great listeners. They are very conscientious about cleaning and keeping their work area sanitized. Loved their work and our time there was a great way to spend our time. Very happy with the results!!!“

“Nice interior, staff were professional and attentive to our thoughts about getting a tattoo. Kris was wonderful to all of my sisters and we had a great time getting our tattoos. Highly recommend Desire Ink Lab.“

“I absolutely will be back to have more tattoos done here! My tattoo turned out gorgeous and everyone was so welcoming and friendly! Tristan did an amazing job keeping the design true to what I drew! I'm already thinking of my next tattoo“

“Zach Burton has a very calming, laid-back demeanor that makes a high-strung, adhd riddled, train wreck of a disaster waffling around, sit down for a bit instead of at a constant stand that shifts into a pacing back and forth before anyone can bat an eye, says something about his ability to calm other. I am a joking kind of guy, so hopefully, the humor is seen, and that is it. But, okay. Tigers' roar creates infasound, which debilitates their prey for the tiger so the tiger can have his meal. Zach's voice has an infasound that calms and soothes. So, for people who want a tattoo but have a serious disliking to the point where it becomes a phobia, Zach Burton is definitely the tattoo artist that you want to go see.

Cleanliness: Zach was constantly making sure that he always had clean gloves on. If he took one off for this or that, instant disposal. Some might look at that as wasting. I know Zach must feel the same way as I do about reusing a glove like that, throw it away, there's no reason to give an infection just because you wanted to, and $0.15cents.

Thank you, Mr. Zach Burton. I look forward to working more with you in the future. Remember, buddy, Dead Space's spiraling twin obulisks/markers is going to be a long drawn piece with a great amount of detail, so please, no rush like always.

Stylist: Zach has a surrealism to his work that's absolutely stupefing to witness. When he's able to draw a picture so detailed where you're thinking that it's a photograph someone took with a camera, they might have a little bit of talent.“

“Amazing work for just a walk-in didn’t take much time at all to do it on your lunch break. Just absolutely amazing work.“

“Went in to get a nose piercing replaced. They got me in in very short time. Excellent staff!

Cleanliness: Business has always been very clean!

Stylist: My artist was very friendly, but still professional.“

“I have been coming to this shop for a couple years. They ALWAYS have a variety of amazing artists specializing in various styles of tattoos. I highly recommend this shop. Ellie is extremely creative and her artistry is brilliant!!! ❤️‍? Whether you choose her flash, or a custom, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Another artist, who does phenomenal color tattoos, is Kilee (localdreamertattoos)

One of the owners, Bexey, has done some tattoos for me and I get non stop compliments on my arm. ?

GO TO THIS SHOP NOWWWWWWW! Your artist is waiting. ???“

“Three times in the last 6 months I have gotten piercing services at High Priestess in Salem on Center Street and as soon as I get done posting this I am going to book my forth appointment!!!“
