New work by Natan: Cock Fights, Tribal Battleaxes, and more!

Natan has been working away on a whole new crop of work lately. Check out the following pieces he has recently finished up:

Cock fight backpiece

Cock fight backpiece

Big and bold, this backpiece on the friendly Will Means speaks for itself; an old fashioned cock fight! All black and grey with an attention to line density, repeating patterns and varying textures, this piece was just finished up the other week.

Tribal Battle Axe

Tribal Battle Axe

Steve Johnson soldiered through this large tribal battle axe piece on his ribs in one long sitting from Natan. Check out the soft black 'n grey shading lending a bit of a sculptural and three dimensional shape to the organic patterns.

In addition to all of the projects Natan has been finishing up lately, he also has a number of multiple-session, larger pieces in the works. Check out some of his progress shots from a handful of his repeat customers below:

Bill's Demon

At 85 years old, Colorful Bill is still chipping away at a full-body suit. Sporting a whole lot of work from Natan, Bill has become quite a regular at the shop, swinging by every week or so to hang out, chat, and usually book up some more time. Here's a peek at the latest work he's gotten.

Tribal with skull

Tribal with skull

A returning client with large sections of bold tribal work from Natan, John stopped by the other day to add in some more stuff. You can never go wrong with skulls, ever.

Koi half-sleeve

Koi half-sleeve

In progress for only the last month or so, this koi half-sleeve is steadily approaching completion. Utilizing fundamentals of traditional Japanese designs for the foundation of this tattoo, Natan has been having a blast exploring different avenues of color theory and design to customize this piece.

Natan is currently booking out for any medium to large, creative, custom pieces, so give us a call at 978 744 9393 or stop on by the shop and we'll get you a spot on the schedule today!

New Work by Natan: Harley Davidson Piece

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

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.
