Great Service Talented Artists Wait Time

Witch City Ink was GREAT, we were in Salem this weekend and I knew I wanted a tattoo. I had looked at Witch City Ink before we left NY and when we got to Salem and checked them out they were super nice and accommodating. I looked through their Flash Tattoo books which had tons of awesome designs but I had an idea in my head of what I wanted and thats when I met my artist Mateo. He was amazing, I showed him a couple pictures of what I had in mind and he took some picture and drew up something adorable for me.
Now if you have read the other comments there are a few complaining about the wait and what not... This is a Flash Tattoo shop in the middle of a heavy tourist area, you are not the only person who wants a tattoo there is going to be a wait, if you truly want a tattoo it is worth the wait, don't hate on them for being busy. They open at Noon and thats the best time to get there and get your name on the list! We got there at noon and got my name on their call sheet and then went out and enjoyed the rest of Salem, by 3 pm we had done our shopping and it was my turn for my tattoo! Mateo had drawn the cutest little ghost for me and I was so excited and he had such a good energy that it just made me more excited! He was fast and my tattoo is beautiful, I would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Witch City Ink and Mateo for this great memory of Salem.

Great Service Talented Artists Good Experience

I had my first tattoo ever done here by Olivia Pakitsas and it’s incredible. I got to the shop about 15 minutes early and we started the process as soon as I walked in. Olivia talked me through the design and showed me everything she was going to be doing in detail to make sure I was good with it and after that we began the actual tattooing process. She started with a small line to make sure I was comfortable moving forward as, like I said, it was my first tattoo and after I confirmed that I felt fine the time kinda flew by. The line work on this is amazing and the colors as well as the shading look exactly like what I was shown on the picture beforehand so I have nothing but praise to give this shop and in particular, Olivia.

My girlfriend also got a tattoo done today, a flash tattoo done by Heather and hers started a while after mine as mine was scheduled and hers was a walk in and according to her, Heather was very kind& accommodating and her tattoo looks beautiful. She was all giddy after seeing it and so excited to show me just as I was to show her mine.

Tattoos are a big commitment. I’m glad I went here to finally get my first and I’m grateful to have worked with Olivia. I’d recommend booking an appointment with her.

I don’t know if pictures can be posted with these but if I figure out how to attach them I will post one of mine.

Professional Satisfied Customer

I absolutely adore this chrysanthemum that was done by Natan. It is a cover up and I couldn't be happier with the result. Natan was very professional and made sure I was comfortable.

I had Bre as my artist and she was amazing! She was super attentive and made sure I was comfortable and that I liked everything! The shop itself was great and I loved the atmosphere. I cannot stress how great of an experience this was for my first tattoo and how amazing Bre was!

Witch City is the best place to get any kind of work done, from a huge new piece to a tiny addition. Always professional, pristine and the shop is filled with full blown talent. Went to Olivia today and she is wonderful! Super nice, very skilled and was extremely patient with me while I figured out my exact placement. It was my first time with her as my artist but she definitely has a new regular client from now on. Thanks again, guys! Forever a very happy customer πŸ‘Œ

I went in last week to add to my ever-growing tattoo collection and had the pleasure of working with Olivia. We had messaged via email after I snagged one of her openings last month and she was very accommodating and professional. Originally, I had submit my request for a totally different concept and changed my mind. She was happy to take on the new project and she KILLED it. Before sitting down she took the time to show me her design, and printed several different sizes for me to choose from. She even went so far as to recommend avoiding tattooing over several freckles on my arm so that I can keep an eye on the size and coloring for my future skin health. A little embarrassed to admit, I had never even thought of that even with skin cancer in my family. I was very comfortable throughout the whole process. Olivia is meticulous about cleanliness and it’s very evident in her preparation and execution. I am over the moon about my new tattoo and cannot wait to get more time in her chair soon!!
Thank you so much Olivia!!!

My friend and I were on vacation in March and we both wanted to get a tattoo. Not only did they accommodate us last minute they did a very good job. I had Olivia as did my friend. She is a great person with a beautiful soul and a light hand. She even listened to us about what we wanted and drew up the best versions of what we sent. Words cannot describe how great my experience was and what a badass job Olivia did on both of our tattoos. Thank you to the shop for being so professional and clean as well. You all know what you’re doing.
