Nestled on the border of the Haverhill town line in North Andover and just a 15 minute drive from Salem, NH, Violet Iron Tattoo is a premier, private, all-inclusive tattoo studio that blends artistry, comfort, and personalized service into every client experience. Founded by Jon Gardner, a passionate and seasoned tattoo artist with 4+ years in the industry, originating in another professional, top tier local Massachusetts tattoo shop (and 30+ years of artistic experience), this studio has quickly become a haven for new and loyal clients seeking exceptional designs in a comfortable, curated environment with a promised dedication to hygiene, sanitization, safety, and client satisfaction. With a focus and specialty in illustrative blackwork, it is always my mission to work closely with each person to craft their concepts to life offering guidance on design, placement, and size to ensure that the final result is something they will cherish for a lifetime.

This space offers a one-on-one atmosphere, designed with privacy in mind, separating itself from the typical bustling street shop filled with people which creates a sense of ease and relaxation during your entire tattoo journey. From consultation to aftercare, I am committed to ensuring the highest standards of professionalism and artistry. Whether you're getting your first tattoo or adding to your collection, my focus is on creating an experience that’s both enjoyable and memorable.
