---

You decided to search on-line for tattoo shops near me, NH tattoo shops.  You sent messages through Instagram, Facebook, and other social media sites with one question: HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?  Most shops will give you a low price estimate then if slowly changes and before you know it you have the never ending tattoo.   Please check out the Tattoo Shop (Letter of Occupancy, NH Business Registration current, Shop Insurance, Artist Insurance etc.) We are a safe tattoo shop in Salem NH.  We are minutes from Methuen and Haverhill, MA  

 Group or Family Tattoos

Usually  the artist will give  low to high estimate at your Free Tattoo Consultation Appointment.  What could make this change?  Last minute design change, adding more colors, or if you are continuously asking to stop.  If you booked for a certain amount of time and you are having a hard time sitting a second session might be required. Remember that this is how the artists make their living & they charge by the hour/piece. All day or half day sessions work out great! Always get the estimate in writing and what it is based on. Deposits: Best to leave via credit card so you and  shop have a record of the deposit. Deposits are always paid at the Front Desk and you should always ask for a receipt if you are not given one. If  you pay the despots direct to artist Mayhem is not responsible to pay it  back  if  an  issue  arises.

Lately,  there  are  small  tattoo  shops  opening  up  by  tattoo  artists that  have  been  fired  out  of  other  shops  and  it  is  their  only  option.   If  you  are  planning  on  a  larger  custom  tattoo  you  might  want  to  stay  with  a  shop  that  has  been  established  with  at  least  five  years  in  business.    We  first  opened  in  Nashua  in  1994.    Salem  is  our  newer  location  and  we  formed  the  company  Nov. 2019.  If you are going to spend the money and time to get the tattoo you have been waiting for then take the time and visit at least 3 open tattoo shops near me or NH tattoo shops and piercing near.  We offer a Free Tattoo Consultation by appointment or walk in if artist is open.  If you cannot find a time, call us.   *Safe tattoo shop in Salem NH?

If you want just to check out the shop, watch a tattoo from a distance, or speak with an artist (if they are not with a client), they will help you.

We specialize in:

Stop in and if an artist is open, they’ll love to educate you about the industry.  Artists can spend 15 minutes to an hour speaking about the tattooing industry as long as they don’t have a client in chair or waiting. 

Tattoo Walk-ins are usually a flash type tattoo (no drawing required) however, if they have an open day they will put you in the chair.  Just remember they are charging for design and drawing time.  They start charging after the first 15 min.

Tattoo Pricing: Ask the artist 

Does a tattoo hurt: yes. But usually the person will say "I thought it was going to be worse". First tattoo, pick an area on your body that is less painful.
