What locals say about Salem tattoo shops

Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Salem.

“I’ve gotten two tattoos here on different occasions and have luckily gotten Zakk both times!! AMAZING fine line work and just great vibes in general. Zakk is super accommodating and talked everything through with my sister who was getting her first tattoo. Will definitely be back for my next one!”
Tina Britt on Hot Rod Betties Tattoo
“So pleased with my experience. Went there today for my 18th birthday and they were very patient with the fact I was very nervous. They talked with me the whole time and it was a super fun process. Will definitely come back when I’m ready for my next tattoo in a few months.”
Brooklyn Sanchez on Oregon Tattoo Co
“Great service and friendly staff every time I’ve ever been in. Atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. Onna has pierced me several times and is always a joy. Thanks for the pokes!”
