Salem Ink Tattoo and Art Gallery

My husband and I walked in and got great tattoos quickly and great service, Mike was wonderful!

Very accommodating and friendly artists. Love the custom armband I got done by Loki! The place also has some really cool artwork from local artists on display and for sale. I snagged a couple of pieces made by Danny Wicked after Loki finished my armband. I will likely return for a second armband in the near future.

I had Jillian for my first ever piece, and she was absolutely incredible. She’s super friendly, accommodating, and was incredibly understanding about my first-time nerves. She also puts up a projection of music videos on the wall of your choice so you have something to listen to and watch during it. The store itself is really cool, and the people are extremely friendly. We were talking to Erin for a really long time, who was playing guitar while we were there and just made the whole experience much more welcoming and relaxing. Highly recommend the shop and Jillian as well!

Can't say enough about this studio! Had my first tattoo here and had a bigger piece today! If you're looking for quality and especially quality, this should be your first call.

This tattoo shop is EVERYTHING! Great location, awesome energy, and cool art work throughout the studio. My husband and I spontaneously walked into this shop yesterday, to make an appointment for a tattoo I had wanted. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by Erin. (Super sweet & a great artist as well). I knew I had wanted Loki (The shop owner) to do my tat, but I wasn't sure if I'd be lucky being that it's always busy whenever we're in town, but... Loki was there and available! Yay! Let me tell you....He is a TOTAL VIBE!!! Not only is he an AMAZING artist, he is professional, hilarious (had me dying laughing the whole session), gave his honest opinions and options for my tat idea, and made the whole experience super chill. He also gave us some cool places to check out during waiting time, since we're not from the area. My tattoo came out PERFECT, and exactly how I had envisioned it. He just gets it. I absofreakinglutely recommend this shop! I look forward to getting more work done there!!! Thank you so much! <3

Visited Salem on holiday and decided to get a fun tattoo on a whim. Found Salem Ink, saw the good reviews, and walked in. We were greeted by Loki who was a gem — ended up getting 3 cute ghosts (from flash) with my friends. It was really quick, clean, and efficient. Loki was so friendly and also gave us some tourist recommendations. The studio is gorgeous and so fun to look around (they display and sell art too!). Highly recommend if you want to get a tattoo in Salem :)

We had an excellent experience here! Everyone is super friendly and inviting, the artists are so talented and were able to take some abstract ideas and give us exactly what we wanted! Highly recommend for your next tattoo (big or small)!

If you're looking for a talented artist, ask for theundeadsage. That's his Instagram, we never did find out his real name. Fair warning, he will roast you. That line work is clean though. The photo attached shows my beloved witches hat in remembrance of a Samhain trip to Salem, MA with my long time bestie and was taken 24 hours into the healing process.. Also in the photo, the supposed-to-have-been-a-phoenix-aka-thunder-chicken above it is a 10 year old example of "mistakes were made" by myself and the artist, not to be attributed to this artist or shop. Just look away, that happened in Florida in 2012 by a guy who said he did the back piece on Celo Green, probably false. Perfect examples of two vastly different tattoo experiences side by side and I couldn't be happier with my new addition.

I wanted to take a piece of Salem home with me from my epic trip, and saw they accepted walk-ins. I went in on the Friday before Halloween to add my name to the list, and was called back about 10 minutes after. I met with Jillian, who was super friendly, knowledgeable, and nice. She drew up what I wanted, helped me with placement, and my session was done pretty quickly. Not only is she amazingly talented artistically, she was really cool to chat with. I was so excited about the end result, and so grateful she was able to fit me in on one of the busiest weekends in Salem. Thanks Jillian for my little piece of Salem. I love it!

My friends and I came in the other day to get Halloween themed flash tattoos. We have been talking about this idea for a year, but a lot of shops wouldn't do a tattoo party and just recommended that we just show up as walk-ins. We understood October is a crazy time, but we are October babies... there was a reason to the madness. If anybody wants to get tattooed as a walk-in, I highly recommend you budget your time so you're there when they place that list on the door. I'm guessing the list was 50 names deep and I don't know if they were able to do them all...just as an FYI. We took slots 5-7 on the list. And they called us an hour and a half after they were open. They were easy enough to work with as we all knew what designs we wanted, and understood what "flash" tattoos mean.... My friends and I all had good experiences with 3 different artists. I'm horrible with names (I apologize) but I would have loved to give my artist a shout out. The cute male artist with the fake scratches on his face for halloween; didn't seem to be listed on the website. But he did a good job, and was quick. Cracked a few jokes to lighten the mood, as my tattoo was on my butt. It was an easy experience for me and fairly plain less.

We were on vacation and wanted a spur of the moment tattoo, but it was Salem, what better place! It was our first tat and it could not have been easier. I had Erin as my artist and she explained everything she was doing and also explained the After Care, which is relatively simple. FYI - you can wait at the Oyster Bar around the corner and they will call you when they are ready for you.

Best tattoo experience to date!Me and friens visited here in Ocyober which is most likely their busiest time all year. I had Erin and she was amazing! Super personable and easy to talk to. I changed things up a but before meeting her and she was so kind and willing to work on my new idea! Would definitely recommend this place to others and will be coming back for more!

Best impulsive tattoo I've gotten so far! Alliyah did an incredible job on my new moth tattoo. I'm so glad that I have this piece to remember my trip to Salem. Big thanks to the entire staff for being so kind!

My partner and I walked into Salem Ink on a trip to Salem and got to see Erin and Loki. Both were wonderfully professional and great artists. We couldn't have been happier. Great experience and would love to see them both again.

Loki was amazing! I got a very small tattoo but he still treated as if it were a bigger piece. Love my new ink!

Decided to get a tattoo in honor of my late husband. Loki and Mike made it a great experience Talented artist! . Love my tattoo!!

Loki was awesome, and a super chill guy that had incredible bedside manner. I got a small flash sale tattoo from him, and he treated me as if I was getting a full day tattoo. Love the people there, great atmosphere, and very reasonable prices.

Signing up for a walk-in at Salem Ink was the best experience and the people there will keep me coming back for years to come! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, and working with artist and owner Loki was fantastic! Loki made short work of two tattoos and the work is beautiful and exactly what I was looking for! It was also awesome to see how invested they are in training their apprentices. Great people, great work, and the best experience overall! Highly recommend!

Had my first tattoo done here last Thursday by Jillian and she did an awesome job. The tattoo came out perfect and she made the whole process great. I highly recommend this shop and Jillian’s work

My experience at Salem Ink was nothing short of spectacular! Loki was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with. I can sincerely say I had such fun during my session and enjoyed chatting with Loki. He made the experience comfortable and so very enjoyable. Before beginning the piece, he helped me choose the perfect size, shape and style for an ankh on my hand. The shop is clean, elegant and the art gallery is stunning! My tattoo looks exactly as I pictured it, and I look forward to having more work done by Loki. Salem Ink is a class act! Thank you, Loki! <3
