Tattoo Shops in Salem, VA
3 studios in and around Salem, Virginia — call ahead even for walk-ins — a shop with five artists can still be booked solid on a Saturday, and piercing hours often differ from tattoo hours.
Ironheart Evolution Studios
1539 Apperson Dr, Salem, VA 24153-7218
Tip: weekday afternoons are the easiest time to get a walk-in seat — Friday and Saturday fill with appointments by noon. For custom work, message the artist a week ahead with reference images; a deposit of $50–100 that counts toward the final price is standard practice, not a red flag.
