From Molly's batch of Halloween tattoos a couple of weeks ago, these realistic leaves and pentagram span the lower back of one of her repeat clients.

We'd like to extend a big thank you to everyone who came all the way out here, booked up some time, and gave us the opportunity to bust out with some fun custom tattoo work.

Birds and lotus flower.

This full-color tattoo of abstracted birds with clouds and flames around a lotus flower was recently completed on our friend Mateo. Hailing all the way from Milan, Italy, Mateo comes up for the Boston Tattoo Convention each year and sticks around to hang out with us. On a recent trip over to Italy, Natan had outlined this piece on him, so while Mateo was back over in our neck of the woods, they sat down and finished up all of the color work.
