I am a Miami local and I know that There’s lots of places to have your ears pierced and tattoos but Salvation is the one that my friends and I always go to cause of the place; clean and well maintained, the employees; very hospitable and professional. I just had my ears pierced by Robert and he was amazing! He did it really quick and also guided how to take care of it! This place is the one you need to have your ears pierced or tattoo when you visit Miami! Read Less

I had an excellent experience here. I went in with a very basic idea and Steven designed something for me that I loved. It was clean, everyone was friendly, and I feel like I got more than my money’s worth. I would definitely come back next time I’m in Miami. Read Less

Salvation Tattoo is awesome. I requested a quote and Lily worked with me to find the perfect artist for what I was looking for. Stephanie did a beautiful job and I can't wait to go back for the next one. Read Less

My wife and I set up an appointment for tattoos on Wednesday, we got them done by Steve Ramos on Saturday.. Steve did an amazing job, and gave us waaay more than our money's worth. Spent several hours in the shop and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. Will the shop manager was super helpful and friendly as well. All in all, I'm really looking forward to making another trip to South Beach to get another tattoo! Thanks guys! Read Less

Just wanted to say Salvation tattoo lounge is awesome Shawn is an amazing artist I hat two tattoos done by him and I would definitely get all my tattoos done by him, he really is Amazing my tattoos came out perfect I couldn’t be happier. I total recommend him to anyone wanting to get a tattoo. And Alex is great it was a pleasure . I’m so glad I choose this place, all the Employees are really nice. Read Less

Super clean studio and comfortable, welcoming vibe. The staff are really warm and friendly, and unlike many other studios, you don't get the feeling that they are judging you. Alex is incredibly helpful and you genuinely feel that he wants you to get exactly what you want. I'm very particular and had a specific design in mind, and he and the artist Robert worked patiently with me until I got the result I wanted. The needles are quiet and don't have that horrible buzzing sound. Robert had a really gentle touch and was really thorough and patient. Ended up with two tattoos on the same day because of the great experience. Alex also followed up to make sure everything went well. Best studio and best experience I've had getting a tattoo!

Went in yesterday for a henna tattoo. Left it on my back for an hour as recommended to dry and the henna peeled/washed right off less than 5 hours later.  Only the marker stencil of my tattoo is now left. I went in today to ask if maybe I can get a refund as the receptionist told me the henna would stay on for approximately two weeks and it clearly did not.  Kevin an employee was a bit hasty and refused to give a refund. I basically spent $74 (64$ + a $10) on a marker stencil. This is absolutely ridiculous.  I absolutely would not recommend this place to anyone who wants a henna tatto. If I could give a zero star rating I would. Read Less

I don't even live in Miami but my experience here was so nice that I plan on making the long drive for all my future tattoos. Everyone who worked there was super friendly and I couldn't have been happier with my time spent there. The artist who did my tattoo, Kevin, did a beautiful job and was such an easygoing guy. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants good quality tattoos. Read Less

I did a walk in on July 4th, I was honestly just asking for prices or ideas but Anthony immediately got me hooked. I worked with Steve on my tattoo, he was truly so amazing and I loved watching him get lost in his work :) the whole atmosphere was amazing, we shared a good amount of laughs and it has now become my favorite place. I will definitely be coming back really soon for more ink Read Less

I went here last Friday for my first tattoo and I couldn't be happier! I went in two weeks prior and thought up a design and concept and made an appointment with Kevine to come back. When I came in for my appointment Kevin and taken the ideas and photos he was given and created a beautiful custom design that I was in love with. This was my first tattoo so I was a little nervous not to mention it was a large piece and was going to take several hours to complete. Kevin was really great through out the whole process we took a few breaks to make thing easier on both of us and the end result was amazing! I am so happy with the final product and I would definite reccomend Kevin especially if you are looking for a piece of art not just a tattoo. Read Less

So we had a great time here today. My daughter and her friend got their very first tattoos and the artist Alan was great and personable.  My cousin and I had John and he did a great job as well. My cousin had a reproduction of a piece of artwork and I got the Om symbol.   It was a great experience overall. I would definitely recommend coming to this location in Miami Beach Read Less

After looking at many tattoo shops in Miami, we finally walked into Salvation. Immediately, Rita asked what we were thinking and what we wanted. She gave us honest advice and knew exactly which artists would do the best according to what we wanted. Aleksandra drew out four different options for my sunflower and I could tell she was passionate. My cousins both were tattooed by Michael, who was brilliant as well. I loved this place because all artists and the manager treated the tattoos as art, even though we were "just" walk-ins. I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants amazing art and amazing tattoo artists. Read Less

I was going for my first tattoo, so I did some research and salvation seemed to be the best. From the moment I stepped in everything was really good, nice professional help and advise. As I said, it was my first, so everybody with tattoos probably knows that that's the most exiting one. I wanted everything to be perfect, because I was extremely nervous. Everything was, until the day of my appointment. I made the appointment a week before, paid my deposit, send email in that week. I had no respond on that email, but 2 weeks later when it didn't matter anymore. That day I had my appointment nobody knew I was coming, nothing was prepared, they couldn't find my paper, I wasn't in the agenda... so you could say that was for me (being extremely nervous) not the best feeling to go into your first tattoo experience. They quickly set it up. I had someone that barely spook English. They were already closing at that time so I felt like a pain in the ass for them, coming that late. (11pm, they close at 12). After all, I'm happy with the result and the girl who helped me in the beginning. But the last part, the most important part, was very very disappointing. I also send them an email about the unhappy experience, but didn't receive any respond on that.. Read Less

Make sure you go here! Went for a consult under a week ago, was seen promptly by a friendly and professional lady. The tattoos I had in mind were advised upon and an appointment was made for the next morning. Salvation is a welcoming, clean and affordable parlour where you can get a professional product from people who really know what they are doing. My artist was a very friendly young man called Rustem, we chatted throughout the appointment and I was made to feel completely at ease. We discussed my ideas as well as his recommendations and then got to it. The work was better than I expected and could not be happier! I would seriously recommend anyone in the Miami area who is wanting a good tattoo to visit these people! Many thanks to all, I will definitely be back. Read Less

Steve ,Matt ,rich were all so awesome ! I legit almost got 3 tattoo because of how awesome they are !! It was unfortunately too late so I will come Tomorow ! I also got a piercing .My cousins and friends  all got tattoos and piercings .referring everyone I know to Salvation Tattoo. Read Less

On our 1st trip to Miami we were looking for a great tattoo spot...after talking to alot of locals about what's the best of the best...after lot of people said go see Hector at Salvation Tattoo on Washington. So stoked about everything..he was so cool and hooked up up super nice..the boy got crazy crazy skills and everyone knows it. Read Less

Came in for a heart and the owner pretentiously said they are the best tattoo shop in south beach and we are lucky they are even doing it because it's so simple but they still managed to do a terrible job. Really disappointed never coming here again. Read Less

Complete rip off! It was our first time ever getting a tattoo so they took advantage of us. They charged us $300 for a 1/2"by 1/8" tattoo that took about 10 minutes. When anyone sees it they laugh and tell us that we got totally ripped off!! I can't stand being taken advantage of! Now we get random texts from them telling us come in for a tattoo $60 for 3"x3" what nerve! DONT BOTHER WASTING YOUR MONEY THERE! Read Less

Came into get a design and tatoo the next day. I was told for the artist to do a drawing that it would be a deposit. Which totally make sense, when I came in to see the design nothing was done. I was told that my deposit could be refunded if it was not completed, or apply it to my session. With me leaving the next morning and nothing being done, I wanted to be refunded. I did not want to have my work or potential design rushed with me leaving the next morning. They refused to refund my deposit although nothing was done. Read Less

Worst costumer service EVER (or EXPENSIVE as hell!) !!!Had my piercing done here, so, lets start:The place was crowded, its a nice clean place, but had to wait for 45 min. After that, with all the buzz from the people, had to decide how my piercing would be. They offered me cleaning kits and a bunch of stuff. At this time my wife decided she would get pierced too. Another guy attend her and then "Suku" gave me the bill. I just paid.Went in and got pierced. About the piercing: Neither mine or my wife's piercing is centered, but we still love them.Return home, I asked my wife for the cleaning kit Nope, she didn't ask for it. Then why the hell did I paid over $400 for 2 piercings?!!?No problem, Suku seemed like a nice guy, I was going to ask him if that's the price (which will turn it into the most expensive piercings EVER!), or if there was a mistake, so a wrote a mail. No answer. 2nd mail. No answer either. So I gave them a call. "his not here right now and I cant help you with that, he'll give you a call back". No phone call returned.I think when you're getting a piercing or a tattoo you want a little commitment from the artist, follow up, but this just showed me they're nice till you pay! Read Less

I went here in order to fix an old tattoo I had, I must say the place is very clean and welcoming & the staff is very friendly and polite, first I went to the 1612 location in miami beach and was tattooed by Tony, I honestly didn't like how he fixed it but I contacted Eric and he was very professionally and scheduled me to visit another artist at the other location on 1413 on the beach aswell to have him try to fix what I didn't like. This location I can say the same about very clean environment very welcoming and very nice and friendly staff. I was helped by Mikhail (Mike) and he was very nice and definitely made the tattoo look better. He takes his time and he is good at what he does. Definitely would recommend this artist Read Less

ambiance was great, we were able to bring our son (12yr) with us to wait in waiting area,comfortably.I wanted to add some work to my first tattoo done here last summer. Artist was very nice, we tried a couple designs until we got one i liked. Then i was told a enormous price! Ridiculous!!! Way to high! (yes, I know is miami beach!) I was able to negotiate some discount (being repeated cust. and decreasing the size) Look very nice, but be aware is going to cost you!!!! Read Less

The first thing that caught my attention when I got a tattoo at Salvation Tattoo Lounge was, the customer service. Friendly and welcoming. The artist (Dan) sat with me and took his time to show me different designs and worked out a piece. The shop was clean and I felt comfortable. My experience getting tattooed was awesome. Dan is light handed and consistent. The execution of my tattoo is perfection. Tattoos are permanent which should be quality and Salvation Tattoo provided that. Further more the after care they provide is great too! I am a satisfied customer and will be returning. :) Read Less

I'm posting this review to let everyone in the area, or who ever is visiting: Salvation Tattoo Lounge is the hot spot for tattoos in South Beach. If your visiting, I wouldn't bother to even check out all the other slummy shops. After I checked out Salvation, it wasn't hard to decide where to get my tattoo work done. Skip the search, go to Salvation Tattoo Lounge. Their shops are soooo clean, and they have a customer service rep waiting to help you with what ever you need. I couldn't believe the rejection I got from an artist I spoke to at one of the other shops.... He acted like he was seriously annoyed when I was telling him my idea about my tattoo, I felt so uncomfortable. Salvation has a wonderful friendly staff that made the experience worth my time and money! If your looking for the right shop, this place is IT.... Hope you all have a wonderful tattoo experience at this place~ Read Less

I never write reviews,but this business deserves a good review. First me and my wife went down to South Beach for Ultra and decided to get tatoo's.I thought we will never find a tattoo shop that would be up to my wife's standard's.So i started to prep her what tattoo shop's were like and not to expect too much were just getting a tattoo we don't have to buy the place.That being said we were walking back to our hotel after dinner on Lincoln road and my wife said what about this place"Salvation Tattoo Lounge" I said ok "lets check it out". It was a brand new store and was very very clean,I was happy and so was my wife so we decided to get them on the spot. The tattoo artists were very nice, profesional, and did great work were very happy with our tattoo's.I told my wife now if we want to get another tattoo we have to come back to salvation,but thats ok because we like Miami!

To walk into Salvation Tattoo and get treated so well from the moment you walk in was something incredible if you understand what its like anywhere else. The talent level that they have is outstanding. The biggest problem I had with Salvation was that I didn't know which artist to choose. They were all good. There was a girl in the front patiently discussing every detail of what I could and should do with my design and made me feel free to make any changes I wanted which was so nice. By the time it was all said and done I got an outstanding Tattoo for a fair price and was treated like a king the whole time.Here's a true story about my Tattoo Shop searching experience before I found Salvation Tattoo. I walked into a shop and started looking around waiting for someone to say hello and I just waited.............and waited..............by the time someone said anything to me it was like I was intruding or disturbing their lives or something. I told the guy my idea and I was told it was not possible to get what I wanted and I had to change alot of things about my design. When the conversation was over I was nowhere near what I wanted and I was terrified to let the guy know because he had the biggest attitude! He wanted to charge me for a drawing and that's when I said thank you and i'd think about it. I went to other shops and got alot of the same garbage treatment. What is wrong with these places? Thank you Salvation Tattoo I will be back and I am done with these other shops. In my opinion, they just don't get it. Read Less

This shop was awesome!!!!!!! My girlfriends and I got small Tattoos done and they didn't make me feel like I was wasting their time or being annoying for not knowing what I wanted right away. So we got a great price we all hung out in their beautiful lounge and had a great time. Thanks Victor, Alex, and Joey you guys were all awesome!!! We'll be back and were bringing more friends. And P.S. tell Alex the cute one i'm especially coming back to see him!! :-) Read Less

I had wanted a sleeve done on my left arm. I walked into Salvation Tattoo Lounge on 16th and Washington Ave in South Beach Florida. Once I walked in I was amazed by the cleanliness of the shop. It was amazingly clean to every detail compared to all of the other shops I have visited in SoBe. The woman named Sarah was super nice and extremely helpful. They also have computer workstations to help find tattoo art for my sleeve. In addition the tattoo artist named Victor from Salvation Tattoo was super cool and helpful in my decision/sizing/coloring/shading of my sleeve. After all their help I was expecting to pay with my first born, but since I attend the University of Miami I got 30% OFF my work!!! And they have more coupons for other schools. So after a few weeks and several sessions my sleeve was done and more than I had expected. The Staff and Service at Salvation Tattoo was GREAT! They treated me like King James from the Heat !! My Girlfriend's birthday is coming up and I am going to surprise her with a tattoo from there. Read Less

WOW...I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!im from Nebraska and i went to south beach for spring break.i really wanted a tattoo,but was a little scared and i didnt like the way they acted in all of these tattoo shops. They werent freindly and they acted like i was bothering them when i explained that i wasent sure what i wanted and was a little nervous,they were like dont waste mine time!so on my last day of the trip i happen to stop in salvation on 1413 and washington and it was like walking into a dream,the staff was the complete opposite of all the other place i had been to.they were so helpful and the artist was so cool.i got an amazing tattoo back...........i plan on coming back to miami beach every year just to get another and another and another..............

I had this amazing design that I had drawn up myself and kept it for years until I finally got enough courage to go get the Tattoo done. I did a lot of online research and found that Salvation Tattoo Lounge had the best website out of all the shops in Miami! The shop pics and the tattoo work done by their artists that they had posted on the site is really what grabbed my attention, the work they pump out at this shop is serious, so if your looking for an affordable place with amazing work, you have to go here! I LOVE my new tattoo! I sent two of my friends to the shop already and they had a great experience as well. Great Vibe, Great work guys! So Impressed! Read Less

Walking around in the hot South Beach sun all day looking for a decent Tattoo Shop was no picnic. Shop after shop you get the same attitude artists with the big shot attitude and the "why are you bothering me" look on your face. Spare me your attitude please!!!!! Like I need to put up with your attitude to do a Tattoo for me?So I walk into Salvation Tattoo and it was like WOW!!!! Somebody finally gets it. Treat customers good, be patient with them, don't rip them off, and you have happy customers writing great reviews about you. Thank you Salvation Tattoo you were all awesome and where do I begin? Simply the best artists, obviously the nicest shops, and last but not least excellent prices. I wish somebody would have told me sooner I would have saved hours walking in the sun all day. Thanks Alex Jr., Victor, and Eric (cracker) you guys rock. Nicolino Read Less

Salvation Tattoo was simply impressive. First Class all the way from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave. I spoke with this cute girl in the front and she was so sweet and patient making sure I got exactly what I wanted. For a second I couldn't believe it cuz the service is usually not that good when you go to a Tattoo Shop, but these guys were impressive and I mean all of them down to the artists. It is nice to know that this Industry is finally growing up and Salvation Tattoo is leading the charge. Artwork was great, it took a bit long to get the stencil on because I couldn't decide where I wanted it, (sorry Victor) but those guys just kept smiling and took care of me very well the whole way through. The lounge was nicer then any Tattoo Shop I ever seen and thank god it was affordable so all in all it was impressive to say the least. By the way Vanessa the Body Piercer was awesome and i'm coming back to do those Dermals you promised me I can't wait. Thank you AllAnthony Bo Lover Read Less

There are a million tattoo shops in South Beach. The only one I had ever heard of was Miami Ink but honestly I didnt care about Miami Ink- My friends and I walked around the beach for awhile and saw the coolest looking tattoo shop called Salvation. It was a gorgeous place, beautiful FIERCE and really clean studio. My artists name was Brandon and not only did he make my tattoo better than I could ever have imagined but he was so patient funny and most of all talented. The tattoo healed quicker than any of my friends who had gotten tattooed at the new Miami Ink- aka Love Hate. It was a little sore that night,but that was it- my friends scabbed up and hurt for over a week. The funny thing is we both got a jaguar w/ roses running on our ribs. The difference is mine cost half the price and now that we are both fully healed - the artwork is amazing hers not so much. Salvation staff was really fun- and accomadating. I was nervous (especially since I split up from my friend) but by the time Brandon showed me my stencil I was eager to get started. He also gave me really great tips on aftercare - which my friend did not know about- I highly recommend Salvation to evryone who wants a tattoo or peirceing b/c guess what? The next day me and my friend both came back to show Brandon the difference in our tattoo's- when you walk in this shop you immediately see the jewlery counter. Being girls we decuded to check out the jewelery and we met this guy Eric but everyone knows him by the name Kracker---- everyone even the guys eating at Sushi Samba we met later that night. We had on shirts that showed off , what else, our new belly button rings peirced by the infamous "Kracker" Bottom line if you want an amazing tattoo see Brandon or peircing see Eric aka Kracker at Salvation tattoo parlor on Washington Ave. Those two really know what they are doing, and make the whole experience fun, memorable and worth what my friend and I now have nicknamed body beautification. SALVATION ROCKSTHANKS BRANDON AND KRACKER!!!!! Read Less
