Chillingly Dark Tattoo Art of Identical Twins of Salem | Under the Ink

I got work done by them recently and it was such a wonderful experience. Beautiful artwork, skilled at what they do. Professional, kind, and even helped me come down from some anxiety. Love them and the passion they put into their shop and craft.

[@nofood1]

How did you get a price for your tattoo from them? Did you email them or did you visit them in person? I want some work from them so bad but im 5 hours away.

[@merprincesspacifica]

NOFOOD? I travelled from the west coast to get work from them. Their website I think outlines the basics, and if you have a design approved they go into more detail from there. If it’s the same, there was a 100$ deposit that goes towards the time to design your piece. And then the tattoo is 200$/hr. I had a medium sized piece done and though I was basically there from 11-5om, I was charged for 3.5 hours.

[@nofood1]

merprincesspacifica wow respect, Ill check their site thanks!! 🙏

Hey, nothing wrong with having a sense of humour. What is wrong is that you actually have to say you're joking in these comments or you'll attract trollers & idiots making nasty reply comments.

[@acetate909]

@@msstarlight4770 Ya, that's pretty much why I put the disclaimer at the bottom. I was already picturing the comment "you're just jealous because you suck". People often over react to jokes. I was also a bit concerned that the twins in the video might see it, as I'm sure they will seek out the video, and my intention and hope isn't to personally offend them.

[@msstarlight4770]

@@acetate909 Thanks for replying, I don't know if it's part of that or not. But when I said 'I think', that was me guessing it was part of a longer video because of how short it was & how watching it just gave me the feeling that it was an excerpt of something much longer. You could ask Vice, themselves, for more info. & also, there are links in this videos description to the twins social media things, I don't know how all those things work, but maybe there is a way to ask the twins questions through those. I sincerely apologise if I misled you into thinking there definitely was a longer, more in depth video. : )

I am 10th generation grandchild to Rebecca or (Goode) Nurse, she was accused of being the head witch and was hung during the trials. Her sons cut her down during the night and brought her home and buried her in a hidden grave. A few years later the family was recompensed about $5,000 for the injustice. Her daughter Katherine Nurse married John Russell, my family lineage. I was born on the witches sabbat Imbolc Feb 1st 1960, the dawn of the age of Aquarius.
