Ironheart Evolution Studios

Dana “Nana”, did an amazing job on both of my pieces. I highly recommend her due to her professionalism, knowledge, and skill. My wife gets her tattoo’s completed at Ironheart by Nana and I am now bringing family members as well. Ironheart is one of the nicer studios I’ve been to. Super clean, and inviting. Staff are all friendly, and seem to work well with each other. Very nice environment to spend a few hours or all day. Thank you to Nana and everyone at the studio.

The entire time I was in there, I felt so comfortable and confident with my artist Dana. She focused on every detail while making me feel at home. Highly recommend! Great prices for an amazing tattoo can not be beat.

My work was done by Debi Samuels. Shes did my right sleeve and I will never go to another artist. I love her customer service skills. Her passion for her work and her friendship.

My wife and I had the privilege of getting tattooed by Dana at Ironheart for the Friday the 13th specials. Dana was awesome and did a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend anyone looking to get a tattoo to go talk to her.

Nana did my Friday the 13th murder cow tatto and did an absolutely amazing job. As many people as she has dealt with today she made me feel as if I were her only client. She took her time and explained everything in detail. Making sure I was comfortable and felt at ease during the entire process. Will definitely be returning to see her!

I’m so happy with how my memorial tattoo came out. Dana did an amazing job! She was able to fit me in day of, was very informative, her station was super clean, and she was very nice. I will definitely be going back to her!

Dana “Nana” was AMAZING! she does some great work! And she’s so outgoing and made the process so comfortable and felt like it took no time at all! LOVED HER!

Our 7 year old daughter was ready to get her ears pierced and Debi was wonderful to help us. We really wanted our daughter to have that ability to drive the decision so that she didnt feel pressured and Debi affirmed that! Our girl listened, decided, and responded well. She was a little emotional at first, but after the nerves wore off, she forgot they were even there! This was only possible because there was no major trauma to the lobe (as with a gum).

My daughter and I got our noses pierced. These guys were so kind and so much fun. We laughed the entire time. They treated us with so much grace. They were inspiring and I am so glad we chose Ironheart. If I could give more than five stars I surely would!. 💗

I got my first tattoo done by Dana she made this experience so fun and exciting! She explained how everything was done and made me comfortable. Can’t wait to get more done from her!!

**Review for ironheart evo]: A 10/10 Experience**I recently visited [ironheart evo], and I cant say enough good things about my experience there. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a genuine welcome. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home.What stood out the most was how accommodating everyone was. I had a few questions and concerns about my piercing, and the team took the time to answer all of them patiently. They never made me feel rushed or like I was just another customer. Instead, they made sure I was comfortable and fully informed before proceeding.The atmosphere in the shop was fantastic. The vibes were so positive and calming, it really helped ease any nervousness I had. The space was clean, well-organized, and had a genuine, down-to-earth feel that set it apart from other places Ive been.Overall, my experience at was a perfect 10/10. If youre looking for a place where youll be treated with kindness and professionalism in a relaxed and welcoming environment, this is definitely the spot. I highly recommend them and will be returning for any future piercings!

Dana is so amazing! She has done nothing but incredible work and has made my experiences so comfortable. I will always recommend her!!

Got Friday the 13th piercings and tattoos, both turned out amazing! Great place, great people!

I had my nasal septum pierced by Nemo this week. Very professional, clean and explained the procedure as he was doing it. He also has a ton of jewelry to select from. If he doesnt have it he can customize to your wants and needs. Highly recommend!

Nemo is the best piercer! Makes everything so easy and comfortable, and he knows his stuff. Go and see him!

Stephen was amazing!!! He worked with us on design and pricing!!! He even offered and made our tattoos cooler using extra ink! He took our baseline idea and gave us more ideas that we weren’t creative enough to think of!!! We got more than what we expected and it was amazing!!!

Lauren is amazing! She did a beautiful memorial tattoo for my mom and a couple of other great tattoos for me! Everyone is so kind and welcoming in the shop :)

Very happy with the tattoo I had done today by Dana. She is great and did an amazing job! 😊

Ray Aloy has been so gracious to allow myself and my counterparts from Tigers Eye to move over to a much HEALTHIER and better location. We are here to serve Salem in the same capacity we did before, but better!

Been tatted by Ray and Lauren and they are amazing! Very clean shop, easy going crew, best shop in salem! Highly recommended!

Dana is such an amazing artist, she’s super creative and talented 🥰

This place is definitely one of the best! would 100% recommend keith if you go! hes detail oriented and super hygienic!

Loved it! My first experience with body art and it was excellent!

Stephen is one of the regions BEST artists- I have a treasure troll in color that I adore. He’s gentle, uses quality equipment, keeps his station clean at all times, and he made sure to explain how to take care of the tattoo during the healing process after it was done. My partner also has several Stephen tattoos and we both adore every single one. He even did a memorial for my partners beloved pug mashed up with Art the clown from Terrifier that turned out amazing.Cheyenne, Stephens wife and the piercer at Ironheart, did my septum and multiple jewelry changes for me. She is amazing as well. Very kind, gentle, and quick. My septum was done in less than 60 seconds after she placed the clamps. It hangs just right and is perfectly pierced!I highly suggest using Ironheart for ALL your tattoo and piercing needs!

Debi is amazing, definitely hit her up for all your tattoo needs, and Nemo for all your piercing needs !

Absolutely love Debi, she has do t it again with an amazing cover up from my you g and dumb days! 1000% recommend her for your next ink fix.

Stephen Slaughter done an absolute amazing job on a cover up tattoo on my chest. It is absolutely beautiful. Can not see a trace of the old tattoo. 10/10 recommed.His partner was quick to answer any and all questions. I will be back and recommend to all of my friends.

I love my tattoo by Dana 10/10!!

Both of my tattoos and my boyfriends tattoos were done by Rudeboy. He does excellent work, makes sure you are comfortable and relaxed and makes you feel right at home in the chair. Fairly priced and great work. We will definitely be going to him for any ink we get in the future.

They squeezed us in day-of for spontaneous matching wedding tats. The artist who did our ink was awesome! Would have rated 5 stars based solely on him. That being said, one of the other artists was having a loud conversation with another client that bordered really closely on offensive. Were pretty tough to offend & didnt let it get to us, nor would we let it keep us from coming back. I guess loud political rants are the flavor of 2020. Im sure theyre not worried about pleasing everyone, either. Well be back but will try to schedule around a time the one specific guy isnt working. The owner is such a nice guy, chats each time weve come in.

This tattoo shop is the most caring shop. This year again they have given more toys and their love for the children. Doing their second toy for tattoo drive. They are awesome God bless them all for their generosity. Love you Ray......🙌💓🎅

Amazing shop, very professional. Very friendly atmosphere, and some really great artists! Manny does beautiful work, and is so very talented, I got a portrait and it was magnificent!!. Highly recommend

Amazing atmosphere. Really skilled artists and super friendly staff! I have gotten 2 different tattoos from this studio and will definitely be returning for more!

I got 2 tattoos redone by Manny...he done an excellent job & I will go back in the future for my next tattoos!!..if you need a tattoo or need one redone then call & ask for Manny!!...He takes pride in his work & is an excellent tattoo artist!!

Owner has the integrity of a thin piece of styrofoam and the talent to match. Don’t go here, plenty of better shops around. Go to a home shop in the dark corners of the city before you book here.

Stephen Slaughter is a beast !Guy can tattoo anything! Beautiful work and a great man .Friendly family oriented guy KEEP SLAYING THEM TATTS !!

Loved the atmosphere and staff! Super flexible with time and prices! Great work and I plan on returning for more tattoos soon.

Wanted a tattoo to honor my brother who I had lost to cancer two weeks earlier, went to ironheart evolution and met “Rudeboy”, showed him what I wanted and he reworked it and made it POP. Love it!!! He was very professional and made me feel very relaxed, price was very agreeable and will DEFINITELY be going back soon for more ink. Much happier with the ink I got here than previous place, which I will not name. IRONHEART EVOLUTION ROCKS🤩🤩🤩🤩

Look at virtually every review that has a high rating and look what name is mentioned. It’s not the owner. This shop is in a poor location and ran by people with the ethics of piece of spaghetti.

The vibe was on point! Everyone there is so friendly and down to earth. This is my new go to place! Rude boy, Ray and Lauren are amazing!

Decided to give them a try. Emailed their listed email on Facebook. No response. Called the shop multiple times. No answer. Google and Facebook says they open at noon, waited till 1230 out front on a Thursday, no one showed up. I stated this in an Instagram comment, instead of responding they deleted the comment. I’ll give other professional tattoo shops my business.

Do not let your 18 yr old child go there for their first tattoo by themselves. They take advantage of them and give them overpriced bad quality tattoos. And then are very disrespectful about it when confronted.

They were so nice and I enjoyed every minute of it!! I love my tattoo

Ray the owner, is AWESOME and a very skilled tatoo artist strongly recommend his work!! Decent prices for the work!

One of the best places to get tattooed. Great atmosphere and the best when it comes to making you feel right at home.

Clean, Professional Shop! Ray was Awesome, Beautiful Work, Great Conversation! Have already Recommended to a friend!!

Stephen is the best!!! We got exactly what we asked for! I 100% recommend him!

Rob is such an amazing piercer, he manages to make nothing hurt at all. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Great experience! They were friendly and made me feel at ease. I highly recommend Ironheart Evolution!!

My lady and I enjoyed our first tattoo together. .thanks Cody and Ray

They were great. Fit me in quick and did great work.

My wife and I went to get tats together. They did a hell of a job and did exactly what we wanted.

Spotless & down to earth pricing. Licensed artist & awesome vibes♡♡♡♡
