9th Realm
Gallery

Hi, I’m Sean Gardner — a resident tattoo artist at 9th Realm Gallery in Salem, Massachusetts. I’ve been tattooing professionally since 2013 and proudly working in the heart of Salem since 2017. This city’s vibrant, creative energy is the perfect backdrop for my bold, electric tattoo style.
 

I specialize in fun, high-impact tattoos often described as new school, illustrative, comic book-inspired, neotraditional, and rooted in pop culture. Whether it’s a nostalgic character, a dynamic scene, or something totally original, I love bringing stories to life through ink.

Each tattoo is custom-drawn directly on the skin, allowing for a truly collaborative process between me and my clients. I believe the best tattoos are more than just art — they’re experiences.
 

If you're looking for a unique, custom tattoo in Salem, MA, I’d love to hear your ideas!
