Did you know that Halloween in Salem, for all intents and purposes, spans the entire month of October? Beginning yesterday, we've witnessed the arrival of swarms and legions of halloween-loving people arrive into town. Along with the masses comes all of the annual local performers, entertainers, and vendors who line the streets in anticipation of the crowds.
If you're planning on coming into town to check out what all the hub-bubs about, make sure to stop on by our shop, take a look around, and get some tattoos! Keep your eyeballs peeled in the next couple of weeks as we may feature some custom halloween flash up for grabs and will
be gearing up for all of the halloween festivities. See you all here!

Last weekend we all packed up our kits, locked the doors, changed the voicemails, and headed down to the 2010 Boston Tattoo Convention. Produced by Witch City Ink and Lightwave Tattoos owner/artist, Natan Alexander, and managed by Witch City Ink apprentice, Micah R. O. Litant, this year's show marked our 9th consecutive convention and our first major move as we relocated up to the Back Bay Sheraton Hotel and expanded to a full four days.
Each year, we welcome hundreds of artists from around the country and world, a wide array of vendors, performers, entertainers, and the general public to join us for a celebration and exhibition of the art-form of tattooing. With li
ve tattooing (including traditional tebori hand-poke methods by Horimyo), shopping, burlesque performers, mixed martial arts demonstrations, our annual art gallery, and daily tattoo contests, we had a packed schedule for the entirety of the Labor Day weekend.
Stay tuned as we post all of our coverage from the show on our website, our facebook, twitter, and myspace and join us next year over Labor Day Weekend 2011, back at the Sheraton Hotel, for our 10th Annual Boston Tattoo Convention!
Thank you to all of the artists, vendors, and tattoo fans who showed up, supported the show, and helped us show Boston all that tattooing has to offer. We'll see you all next year!
Follow this link to take a look at the video interview that Mike Hsu, from WAAF, recently conducted with Natan. Tattooing for two decades and contributing heavily to the legalization of tattooing in Massachusetts in the first place, Natan has an experienced and interesting take on the whole industry and art form.
Listen in to hear what he has to say about the right way to go about finding, an artist, getting a tattoo, and how we've been working to make this year's Boston Tattoo Convention the best one yet!

A couple weeks back Molly tattooed this swallow on the neck of one of her regular clients. This piece was a perfect match for Molly, as she's always glad to have the chance to draw up animal-related tattoos in her illustrative style that she's cultivated over the years. Molly specifically tailored the composition of this tattoo so as to mimic the natural flow of the anatomy and work in a congruous manner with the structure of the neck. Molly is currently booking out for custom work,
especially in an illustrative or animal-themed direction.
To book out any time or discuss any ideas you may have for custom work, give us a call in the shop here at 978 744 9393!
