I am happy with my tattoo, I am not happy that my 15 minutes tattoo cost me 140 dollars. I should of asked before hand but my friend got hers done by another artist and it was 60. We both got quotes and the difference was mine was on my spine, hers was on her arm. I’m aware that different artist charge different prices. I was expecting 80-100 at the most. My tattoo was an eight letter quote that was just about less than half of my spine. I asked before hand prices and if they charge hourly. The girl said 100 by the hour but I knew my quote was not going to take that long. I assumed wrong but I wish I would of been told an exact price before I got it. He said 150, then I was confused and nervous because I wasn’t able to tell if he was joking actually or not. Everyone said he was. Other than that, the girl at the front desk was extremely nice and my friend was also happy with her tattoo. Make sure you ask about prices before. I really enjoyed the place and I’m really upset this is how my first time went. There should be a company policy or something if you charge that much your client should be aware. I cried when I got out of the shop that was almost more than half of my paycheck. I have never been somewhere people havent told me their prices. Read Less

My husband got his tattoo here from Bryan about a month ago. He did a full sleeve with the joker, bat man, cemetery, etc. Brian is the only person he'll let ink him, and I see why. We travelled all the way from Alabama (12 hours) JUST for his sleeve. Brian dedicated 10 straight hours of his time for some amazing art. Can't wait to plan a trip up there for my work! Read Less

Today my sister and I stopped in hoping to get a very special tattoo. Today is not only my sisters birthday but the day after the suddenly death of her best friend. Alex went above and beyond to give us an amazing piece. A representation of celebrating her birth and her best friends rebirth into the next life. Alex...thank you...from the bottom of my heart for making this day so special and wonderful! Look forward to stopping in again and having him do some more work in the future. Thank You! Read Less

We went to Old Salt after our son passed away for tribute/memorial tattoos for 4 of us and the entire staff was more than proffessional and accommodating, all the work was exactly what we were asking for and could not be happier with the results.

This is one of the nicest and cleanest tattoo shops in town... Everyone there is very friendly and that made for a very pleasant experience...I went in to discuss the idea of what I had in mind and then made an appointment to go back, �yeah I had to wait� BUT it was well worth the wait...when I went back I was completely overjoyed with what Brandon had drawn up...it was exactly what I had envisioned and more...the beauty and clarity of my tattoo is absolutely unbelievable......I could not be anymore satisfied with it and I am extremely proud to have it... I can't wait to go back and continue to add to it and wrap my entire leg in an ocean theme!!! Thank you so much Old Salt Tattoo Studio and Brandon for making my experience so nice!!! God Bless You All!!!!! See More Read Less

Derek (skinny) has gotten his tattoos done by Brandon for a long time so we drove down to NC to see him from TN. Brandon finished Derek's back piece. And I got a skull and roses from Anthony. We are both very pleased and will most definitely be back, hopefully sooner rather than later. I don't want to get tattooed anywhere else. Thank you guys for an amazing experience. See you soon!

I seriously love the ink artist Desiree Pontius!! Not only does she do awesome unique tattoos, but she also provides cosmetology ink as well, specifically eyebrows and liner! Desiree is a jewel; her caring personality and genuine concern for her clients comes through. I won't go to any other ink artist on the North Carolina coast. Read Less

I was very pleased by the professionalism of every staff memeber. Desiree was patient with me as this was my first tattoo. She talked me through each part. The other staff members offered me water and an Aflac duck to squeeze. I will return for another. Read Less
