New Work by Natan: Harley Davidson Piece

Posted by admin on December 5, 2009

Check out this new tattoo completed by Natan in one session last week; Harley Davidson shield with some flames, American flag, and a “One-Life, One-Ride” banner. Starting with just the original simple concept of a Harley logo on a client's forearm, Natan elaborated upon this piece by incorporating some bright, colorful, and organic background elements to contrast the more geometric and muted Harley shield. Natan is currently booking out for December and January so make s

ure to contact us at 978 744 9393 if you would like to work with him on designing any custom tattoo projects!

Cockfight Backpiece

Here's what Chronicle has to say about the program:

They see the world more intensely than the rest of us. And the visions they share expand our knowledge and enjoyment of everything around us. On this e

pisode, we profile some local artists who are making their mark, including a man whose murals define the public landscape and another who uses the human body as his canvas.

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.

Now that we have finished October and completed another Salem Halloween, we are accepting appointments for more custom pieces. So flip through the portfolio pages on the site, brainstorm some new ideas, and give us a ca

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.

Wave cover-up.

An old winnie the pooh tattoo got covered by some bright finger-waves. Completely hidden!
