For some of those touched by the Boston Marathon events, the best way to remember it is by getting a tattoo. Salem Ink, a tattoo shop in the Witch City, is now offering a tattoo of the “Boston Strong” ribbon design for $25, which the shop says covers the cost of materials. The minimum price for any other tattoo at Salem Ink: $80. The shop is offering “Boston Strong” tattoos at the $25 rate through May 3.

Salem Ink employee Carly Menasco prepared a customer for her tattoo.

Menasco placed the tattoo “stencil” on customer Melanie Warren’s leg. Warren, of Danvers, who already received one tattoo at Salem Ink, said the positivity she’s seen from people in the wake of the bombings inspired her to get this one. “This whole event made Boston so much stronger than it was already,” Warren said.

Michael “Loki” LaChapelle, Salem Ink’s owner, went to work on Warren’s tattoo. LaChapelle said after the release of the Boston Strong ribbon design, “people started calling right away to get these done.”

LaChapelle said he got the idea for the discount rate after a woman who said she had run on that fateful day came into his shop in the aftermath of the bombings, seeking the ribbon tattoo. “It didn’t feel right taking $100 for that,” he said.

LaChapelle said Salem Ink received “at least 50” phone calls after it announced the tattoo discount on its Facebook page. Business started slow Saturday, the first day of the discount, but was picking up later in the afternoon.

The outline of the ribbon on Warren’s leg is seen before the blue and yellow Boston Athletic Association colors were applied. The tattooing took about 45 minutes and wait times varied throughout the day.

LaChapelle added blue ink to Warren’s tattoo.

The almost-finished product graced Warren’s left leg.

Shop employees had supplies at the ready. Normally, Salem Ink takes walk-in customers, but Saturday it kept its walk-in spots for the “Boston Strong” customers.

One of the later arrivals, Tony Frascone of Lynn, was waiting for his tattoo at about 5 p.m. He was at home on Patriots’ Day when the explosions happened. “I had a bunch of friends who were there [watching with me]. I watched every minute of it,” Frascone said. “I wanted to do something to show support.”

Salem Ink tattoo artist Adam Harmon examined customer Sharon Moore’s leg before adding a tattoo. Moore, of Peabody, received her second tattoo.

Harmon worked on the early stages of Moore’s tattoo. Moore said the Boston Marathon incident left her speechless. “Disbelief,” she said Saturday when asked about her initial reaction.

Harmon made progress on Moore’s tattoo.

After outlining the design, Harmon started adding blue ink to the tattoo.

Harmon added yellow ink inside the ribbon outline.

The finished tattoo was on Moore’s left leg.
