Witch City Ink

Visited Witch City Ink while visiting Salem. I have an arm dedicated for travel tattoos and I knew exactly what I wanted to get while I visited here. I met Amy who works the front desk and she was very pleasant. It’s a very busy shop and there were multiple people there waiting but Amy took the time to answer all of my questions without seeming rushed. You pick from the (big) book of flash and then do a $20 cash deposit to put your name on a list. (The $20 comes off final price) I went in around 1:30 and was called to come in at 3:45. It was plenty of time to get some things done around town that I wanted to. I had the opportunity of meeting Jorge who was fantastic. Great conversation and my tattoo came out great! Would definitely recommend this shop!

The artist refused placement of a tattoo that wasn’t ‘anatomically correct’. No tattoo artist is going to dictate the orientation of a tattoo that’s going on my body. Absolutely insane to think they would. Go literally anywhere else in Salem to get your work done.

Great shop. Front desk was incredibly kind and my artist, Renee, is an absolute DREAM! I got a tattoo in a very spicy spot but she was so gentle and lovely the entire time. Did a walk in and they got me in pretty quick!

Came to Salem in June and decided to stop in for matching tattoos. Matteo was our artist and he was nice up until I asked him to please redo the stencil since it wasn’t straight. He immediately became rude and was wiping me really hard trying to get the stencil off (whatever), so he puts the new stencil on and we start my tattoo and he starts wiping me with a DRY paper towel over and over again. The tattoo took about 30 minutes and the entire time he wiped me very aggressively with a dry paper towel. I had severe friction burn and my tattoo healed horribly. I almost went to urgent care about 6 days after my tattoo had been done. I had it touched up recently by my tattoo artist back home and he even said he saw evidence of friction burn because of how it healed and scarred. He said my skin is all chewed up and the touch up was so painful because of the scarring. Also paid $200 for the tattoo. I debated posting a review but after having another artist confirm how aggressive Matteo was and that the shoddy work and healing was indeed artist error/mistreatment, I decided it was time to warn others. Get tattooed here at your own risk.

Had a great experience at Witch City Ink in Salem. Andrew was welcoming right away and made us feel comfortable. Natan, the owner, was awesome to talk to and clearly knows his stuff. Wife came out with a tattoo she absolutely loves and the whole shop had a great vibe. I would definitely recommend Witch City Ink to anyone looking for quality work and a good atmosphere

Had an absolutely wonderful experience with Andrew and Sharon on my visit to Witch City Ink! Andrew kept things fun and enjoyable while we got set up, tweaked designs, and spent a few hours getting our tattoos done. Sharon was patient, kind and great at listening to what we wanted. The whole process was relaxed and easy. I was extra impressed by how they treated my grandma who got her second tattoo ever at 78 and needed assistance getting up on the table and getting comfortable. If I'm ever in Salem again I will be back for more ink! Thanks for the great experience and memory with my grandma, mom, and sister!

Much love to Jorge for my tattoo! Thanks to his expertise, it came out even better than I envisioned. He took the extra time to align it perfectly with the other circular tattoo on the same arm too. See you next time I'm in Salem! 💙

Walked in for a spur of the moment tattoo, and got an amazing cute ghostie tatted. Highly recommend it here!

This was my first tattoo ever. Sharon was very confident and wonderful and made me so comfortable. She also did a BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN job. 10/10 recommend. THANK YOU 🧙‍♀️
