Last week I had the good fortune of landing this totally rad Sailor Jerry pinup piece. My client, Adam, is an ex-marine and currently an air marshall and had decided to get some big traditional pieces. I love doing large scale, bold, traditional style work and was glad to get the chance to work on this piece and hang out with him.

I'd love to work on some more traditional pinups so make sure to give me a ring in the shop if you've got anything in mind! There are also a couple of other new small pieces from the past weeks in my portfolio so check' em out.

We just posted up a bunch of new work from Natan into his portfolio page for your viewing pleasure. There's a variety of different projects in there including these two beauties below:
First up, a finished photo of this big owl piece Natan's been working on for awhile, characterized by Natan's bold and bright style:

Next up is this dog portrait with an aztec-inspired geometric frame encompassing it. Something a little bit out of the ordinary to spruce it up:

You can take a look at the rest of the new pieces over within his portfolio and give us a call in the shop to schedule a consult for your own custom work with Natan.

Despite our struggles with the onslaught of snow as of recent, Natan has been pulling consistently long days working on some big new pieces he has in progress. Check 'em all out below:
First up is this in-progress shot of a Kali backpiece that Natan has been working on. The latest session on this involved adding in the tibetan flames as a border around the piece and to accent the natural curvature of his client's anatomy. More photos of this one to come as she heals up and makes it back for more work.
Kali Backpiece (In Progress)
Next is the latest progress shot from another long-term project of Natan's. Our buddy Mike has been in and out of the shop every other week or so, plugging away at getting his full back completed. As you can see, they're just about in the home stretch and should have a finished photo up here fairly soon.
Phoenix (In Progress)
On a slightly smaller scale is this St. Michael piece that Natan completed a couple of months ago.
Natan's been getting a fair amount of religious work coming in lately and it's always interesting to see his take on a particular piece. This one below was rendered out with some soft, muted, painterly tones.
St. Michael
Last up is this piece based on the Alex Grey drawing “The Seer”. If you're familiar with the work of Alex Grey (or if you take a cursory glance at some of his pieces online) you know how incredibly detailed and intricate everything by him is, making it all fairly challenging for translating into a tattoo. Natan was able to figure out a system to tackle this complicated one here, grounding it in a strong and bold tradition of tattooing while maintaining all of the nuances which give the original drawing it's power and effect.

Natan is at Witch City Ink (Salem, MA) Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and Lightwave Tattoos (Saugus, MA) Thursdays and Fridays. Give us a call and book up your time with him today!
Here's a couple of pieces that I've been working on lately, for your viewing pleasure.
First up is this folksy, guitar-playing skeleton with some desert flowers on my buddy, Jake. Just gotta finish up the rose on the other side and then maybe we'll think about some background stuff…
Folk Skeleton
Secondly, I lined out this big new viking-skull-with-bats piece on constant client, Trevor. Should be a fun on
e to color in and I've got a large watercolor painting of this I'm working on as well…
Viking Skull
Alright, that's about all the new stuff worth mentioning for now, couple of new smaller pieces in the portfolio section as well. Hope all's well out there in internet land, we've still got snowball fights and high-fives if you need 'em,

Hi, Micah here. Lately, I've been working on going back into some old house-party work from some junkies on an old friend, Trevor. Trevor has probably got about half of my portfolio on him, so we decided it was time to start going in and trying to re-build all the old tattoos he'd collected over the years.
Anyways, it's actually been a pretty fun time taking these old pieces of his and trying to figure out ways to turn 'em around into

sparkling, shiny, new tattoos. If you've got any fun old tattoos, bring 'em on in and we'll take a look.

Oh man, I am so happy I didn't spill anything on this watercolor before I could finish. Let me tell you, I was REALLY close to spilling all KINDS of things on this painting, here's a list:
-coffee
-sandwich
-juice
-water
-chip
-jay ski (you gotta watch out or he'll sneak up and spill stuff on your paintings during holiday parties)
-cigarette
-bagel
-different variety of sandwich
Yeah, it's extensive. Anyways, I did finish it, so here it is:

Not a great photo, but you get the idea. Anyways, have a great holiday! We still have free high fives all-day, every-day, so come on in and get one,
