Called ahead of time asking for a walk in appointment, they were more than welcome to it. First impressions of the shop were good, really liked the artwork posted on the walls. Rick’s attention to detail with my tattoo idea impressed me. The worst part about my visit was the wait while Rick was disinfecting everything but if his commitment to ensuring a safe and clean work station makes me wait an extra 10 minutes, then by all means. I love the outcome and will definitely go there again for all my tattoo needs! I would rate it 10/10 but I can’t go past 5. Definitely the best shop in the area.

Such a no hassle consultation. I didnt know what exactly I wanted with my tattoo but Loki did his thing and it came out perfect! Such a nice vibe. They mean it when they say no judgment. It was my first tattoo but I hope all my others will be just as pleasant. His decorations are cool too so that's a plus

Decided to get a tattoo spur of the moment and called around to a few shops to find Salem ink was the only one taking walk ins. The owner, Loki, drew something up for me real quick and he started right away. Light, easy conversation and was done before I knew it. Room was clean, everything was sanitized and most importantly I love my tattoo! Will definitely be going back for more spur of the moment tattoos haha. Thank you!

Salem Ink was a wonderful place to get my first tattoo, back in September. The studio is clean, brightly lit, and has painted artwork on the walls. It feels like you're going into an art gallery (which you are). All the artists were prepped with PPE for Covid19 protection as well. I booked an appointment with Heather, and she worked with my idea and really brought it to life. I smile every time I notice my arm. The individual tattoo rooms are out of the way and private, so there's no worry of strangers watching/poking their head in. The aftercare sheet is very thorough with time-frames and products to help your tattoo heal properly. There's also some humor stuck in for good measure. Overall, it was an extremely positive experience and took away a bit of the anxiety of getting a body mod that I hadn't had before. I 100% recommend Salem Ink.

I had a great experience. I met with Matt. He went over everything with me beforehand. He was friendly, professional and very meticulous about his work. The salon was clean and nicely decorated.
All the supplies were clean and needles were sterile. He explained in detail how to care for my new tattoo in addition to written instructions. I had a very positive experience. I will recommend Salem Ink to my family and friend's.

This is one of the cleanest, most upacale, most inviting tatoos shops over ever been inked in. The location is perfect, with easy walkable access and parking. The shop itself is immaculately maintained, well lit, clean and comfortable. The chaise by the windows in front for instance.
Every single artist in this shop is great, both in technique, style and personality - from the owner Loki all the way down to their most recent interns and apprentices! I am happy to call most of them friends. Of the three tattoos I've had done at this shop, each one has been successively my most favorite one.
Recently I had a lotus flower done as part of a larger 3/4 sleeve project by Loki, and from the color choice to the line work I was ecstatic. I've gotten so many compliments on it and it has healed just perfectly.
If you're contemplating getting a tattoo donew in Salem, MA it is definitely best to check these guys out first.

Popped in looking for a Tattoo artist who would be able to recreate a very delicate tattoo for me. I had seen Cassandras work online and had loved it, when i walked in without an appointment I was so happy that she was there and available.
The entire Salem Ink facility is lovely. It is clean, modern and everyone is friendly. You are never made to feel uncomfortable and everyone I have dealt with is more than accomodating.
Cassandra is an amazing artist. I have now seen her twice, once for a new tattoo and another for her to touch up an old and fading tattoo. Both times she was incredibly professional , kind and gentle. Cassandra has a great sense of humour and is never in a rush. I will be seeing her again soon I hope for some original work.

Getting my sleeve done here. I'm halfway done and I love the place. My artist Mike is fantastic. The staff is very friendly. The place is super clean with a nice waiting area and when you first walk in you walk right into a gallery that houses art from the artists! It's a great experience, the kind of experience that anyone receiving a tattoo would dream of.

I had been thinking about getting a tattoo for a couple months and decided to walk in and see the shop and get a feel for the atmosphere. I had been to one other shop and was not too impressed. As soon as I walked in Ashlie was the artist who greeted me and I immediately felt at ease. The place is immaculate and everyone I encountered was friendly. The day of my actual tattoo went great. Ashlie was so nice and answered all of my questions. There was no pain and I am extremely happy with the work she did. I would highly recommend Salem Ink and specifically Ashlie!!
