Salem
Salem was born in beautiful San Francisco, California. Most of his childhood was spent growing up and down the west coast surrounded by an eclectic world of art, music, and creativity. The tattoo world seemed to always intrigue him, until he took the steps needed to begin the trade on his own. After taking the last 30 years to travel while learning and experiencing what tattooing had to share, he decided to settle back down in his birth place in the bay, in 2003.
Well I finally got to tattoo at the famous @slctattooexpo last weekend. It was so great to reconnect with some of my tattoo community. Gabe helped me win the first place tattoo award for the best torso category. Big big thanks too @ritualtattoogallery for showing me such a good time, and letting me tattoo in their booth. Everyone I got to meet at the show were amazing people. Big love and shout to @colfax_og for hand painting the conventions amazing trophies! 🏆🙏🎶
See you next year SLC.♥️🙏
I love this Rat Fink style Jerry I got to do on my friend Gabe.⚡️⚡️⚡️
