New Painting by Micah

Posted by admin on April 17, 2011

Last night I finally finished up this big watercolor painting I'd been working on. Always a relief with large-scale watercolors to finish 'em and get 'em in a frame before I can spill something on it, someone rests their sandwich on it's luscious flat surface, my dog misreads her spatial perceptions and sleeps on it, etc.

This is actually a study for a piece in progress on my buddy, Trevor. After I started putting the original drawings together for his tattoo, I realized I could probably just rearrange it a bit, have a nice composition for a big painting, and be able to work out all the color theory and special effects in advance. You can check out the tattoo based on this painting under my portfolio page.

bats!

Keep your eyes peeled as, hopefully, I'll have some prints of this painting available soon…

Also, give me a ring in the shop or shoot us an email if you have any of your own crazy ideas we can put together into a big custom piece, such as this!

New work by Molly

Posted by admin on April 4, 2011

Molly just completed this bright, ornate, and colorful feather anklet on one of her clients today. The repeating geometric patterns and highly illustrative style are indicative of Molly's work and this piece proved to be the perfect avenue for her. Although this was the client's first tattoo, she was able to weather the storms and make it through the whole sitting so Molly could finish it up!

Molly is always looking to work on more creative and elaborate custom pieces such as this so make sure to give us a ring in the shop and book out your consult with her today!

New Work by Micah: Sailor Jerry Pinup

Posted by admin on March 29, 2011

Last week I had the good fortune of landing this totally rad Sailor Jerry pinup piece. My client, Adam, is an ex-marine and currently an air marshall and had decided to get some big traditional pieces. I love doing large scale, bold, traditional style work and was glad to get the chance to work on this piece and hang out with him.

New Work by Natan

Posted by admin on March 25, 2011

Last week, Natan got the chance to finish up this half sleeve of imagery relating to the beast of revelation. This piece features an interesting balance of both illustrative and geometric techniques and gave Natan the opportunity to play around with a diverse and out of the ordinary subject matter.

New Work by Natan

Posted by admin on January 22, 2011

Despite our struggles with the onslaught of snow as of recent, Natan has been pulling consistently long days working on some big new pieces he has in progress. Check 'em all out below:

First up is this in-progress shot of a Kali backpiece that Natan has been working on. The latest session on this involved adding in the tibetan flames as a border around the piece and to accent the natural curvature of his client's anatomy. More photos of this one to come as she heals up and makes it back for more work.

Kali Backpiece (In Progress)

Next is the latest progress shot from another long-term project of Natan's. Our buddy Mike has been in and out of the shop every other week or so, plugging away at getting his full back completed. As you can see, they're just about in the home stretch and should have a finished photo up here fairly soon.

Phoenix (In Progress)

On a slightly smaller scale is this St. Michael piece that Natan completed a couple of months ago.

Natan's been getting a fair amount of religious work coming in lately and it's always interesting to see his take on a particular piece. This one below was rendered out with some soft, muted, painterly tones.

St. Michael

Last up is this piece based on the Alex Grey drawing “The Seer”. If you're familiar with the work of Alex Grey (or if you take a cursory glance at some of his pieces online) you know how incredibly detailed and intricate everything by him is, making it all fairly challenging for translating into a tattoo. Natan was able to figure out a system to tackle this complicated one here, grounding it in a strong and bold tradition of tattooing while maintaining all of the nuances which give the original drawing it's power and effect.

Natan is at Witch City Ink (Salem, MA) Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and Lightwave Tattoos (Saugus, MA) Thursdays and Fridays. Give us a call and book up your time with him today!

Here's a couple of pieces that I've been working on lately, for your viewing pleasure.

First up is this folksy, guitar-playing skeleton with some desert flowers on my buddy, Jake. Just gotta finish up the rose on the other side and then maybe we'll think about some background stuff…

Folk Skeleton

Secondly, I lined out this big new viking-skull-with-bats piece on constant client, Trevor. Should be a fun on

e to color in and I've got a large watercolor painting of this I'm working on as well…

Viking Skull

Alright, that's about all the new stuff worth mentioning for now, couple of new smaller pieces in the portfolio section as well. Hope all's well out there in internet land, we've still got snowball fights and high-fives if you need 'em,
