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
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
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
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
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!
More new work recently completed by our very own Molly McKinnon. Ranging from the realistic to the illustrative, Molly's been putting out a large range of work lately down here at the shop. Swing on by or give us a call at 978 744 9393 and start work on a new Molly piece today!
Tiger
Large bright orange tiger on shoulder, Molly can usually find a nice balance between illustrative and realistic work that will hold together as a strong and lasting tattoo.

Lock and Key Roses
Molly just recently added on this string of keys to some roses with a heart-lock that she had completed a couple of weeks prior.
Bast
Given a simple, flat Egyptian hieroglyphic-type design of the cat-lady Bast, Molly went ahead and sketched up this tattoo.
Black and Grey Bird
Stylized black and grey bird on shoulder on another repeat client of Molly's.
Couple of new pieces recently completed by Molly McKinnon. Check 'em out and swing on by the shop or give us a call if you would like to book your own custom piece with her!
Zombie daughter w/ signature
Molly just tattooed this portrait of a client's daughter as a zombie with her signature above it the other day. Molly specializes in this style of bright, custom, illustrative work and was happy to be given the opportunity to play around with the artwork for this one.
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.
Sign Language-Love
Realistic black and grey rendering of the sign language translation of the word “Love”.
Here's a sneak peak at one of Steve's larger on-going projects he's been working on intermittently: full dragon sleeve with traditional Japanese flowers.

Halloween Sleeve
Natan just finished up this black 'n grey halloween-theme sleeve on our buddy John Zani right before the Boston Tattoo Convention. Lots of soft shading with some subtle warm and cool tones scattered throughout.

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!
