Recently had a half sleeve outline by Britt. And my son had a forearm piece done by Sean. Both Came out amazingly! Can't wait to finish it! The shop is kind of in a weird spot, but who gives a shit. As soon as you step inside it has that earthy smell the best taste of decor is fantastic. They are very insightful and helpful and their work is exceptional, I think! Read Less

I had some ideas about a maple leaf tattoo I wanted and Sean took my ideas and designed a tattoo that far exceeded expectations. Elegant and organic, it is lovely. The shop itself is fun and relaxed and the staff is very friendly and customer oriented.  I reviewed the artist portfolios online before I contacted the shop and there is no weak link in the bunch. I highly recommend the shop and most particularly Sean. Read Less

What an amazing shop!!! Super clean and full of character, the ambiance is perfect there. I was tattooed by Britt Whitman, and she did a great job! Very professional, very clean, and very precise.....I can't wait to get another tattoo there! Read Less

Britt did my tattoo 2 summers ago, and it came out great!  I had a vision for my tattoo and she came out with a sketch way that made my idea so much better.  Getting the tattoo was very laid back - Britt was easy to talk to, and hilarious.  She took her time and made sure everything on the tattoo was perfect and immaculate before moving onto different areas of the piece.  Aftercare was easy, and the tattoo healed wonderfully!  The shop is absolutely beautiful.  It's impeccably clean and very well decorated (I love the giant old school barbie dolls in Britt's room!)  Everyone is super friendly and fun to be around.  I also had an awesome experience with laser work here.  I recently went in for a consultation and after discussing everything, I started my first session of lasering. I was very pleased with this, as I was expecting to have to make another appointment to come back. The process itself was quick with little pain (definitely did feel like hot rubber bands being flicked on the skin).  For aftercare, it's literally nothing.  I was expecting effort similar to that of getting a tattoo but you don't even touch the tattoo - just resume your everyday activities and let your body internally dissolve the ink.  All in all, I am very happy with my both my experiences at Helheim!  I will definitely go back to Britt for tattoos as well as continue getting laser for my old crappy one!  Thanks guys for the awesome work!

Completely amazing experience from beginning to end. Booked a trip to Salem around getting a tattoo from here and it was most definitely worth it. Will definitely aim to do it again for my next idea! Thank you all so much again! Read Less

I just got finished with my newest piece and I absolutly adore it!! Jess was the nicest and drew up exactly what I wanted! She was so easy to talk to and we chatted the entire time. Everyone is so friendly and acommadating. I will be going back as much ad I can <3 Read Less

Everyone probably knows of this place because of Kelly and Ink Master, which is well deserved because Kelly is amazing but DON'T SLEEP ON JESS BROWN! She's an incredible artist and the FRIENDLIEST human. Read Less

Wish I had time for ink, just passing through from chicago but Kelly and Gian were the most awesome people to meet! Checked out some of the art work and will definitely display my new sticker! Hope to be back soon in the chair!! Read Less

I just got my first tattoo at Helheim Gallery and it was a great experience! My artist was Jess Brown but everyone that worked there was very helpful and welcoming. Even though it's much easier to ensure you'll get a tattoo if you schedule an appointment, I was lucky enough to score one as a walk-in (I guess it was meant to be!). The linework is perfect and it was a very comfortable experience. I always knew Salem was the place to go! Read Less

Kelly Doty and the rest of the staff at Helheim are AMAZING!! It was the best tattoo experience I've ever had! Everyone at Helheim makes you feel welcomed, ensure that you're comfortable and they all have an incredible sense of humor! I can't wait to go back. Highly recommended -- best tattoo shop in Salem!

Jess did my tattoo and I love it! She was really nice and listened to all of my ideas and was patient when I was still figuring out how I wanted the design. I am looking forward to when I get to go back for some more work from Jess! Read Less

Beast mode @ this place!!! The artists there are some of the most talented in the biz. I just can't say enough good things about this place. My experience was and still is with artist Kelly Doty. I travel from South PA and drive up to get worked on by her. I am getting a full sleeve and am close to almost done. The work she puts out is INSANELY GREAT!!! The work this shop puts out is top notch. If your looking for the best trust me you will find it there. Read Less

The artists at Gold Dust are some of the best in the business. Jessica Brown does incredible work and Kelly Doty is a sorceress with a tattoo machine! If you're in the Salem area....check this studio out! You will be amazed! Read Less
