New Work by Natan: Spade of Skulls

Posted by admin on January 25, 2010

Natan recently got the chance to design and tattoo this black and grey spade of skulls piece on a repeat client of his. Given a brief description and a loose sketch of his client's general idea, Natan hit the ground running and came up with the following tattoo:

Skull-Spade

Natan was happy for the chance to do some more custom work on one of his collectors and friends, Chris Tango. Chris has been coming to get tattooed by Natan at Witch City Ink and Lightwave Tattoos for a couple of years now and has a numbe

r of Natan pieces decorating his arms. Since he already has a number of realistic black and grey skeletal type pieces, Chris opted for the more graphic and bold design of this tattoo and was thrilled with the result.

Here at Witch City, we're always fans of a good black and grey skull tattoo, so make sure to give us a ring or come on down to the shop if you have any interesting ideas for a skeletal themed piece or any other fun custom work!

Fetal Skeleton Tattoo by Molly!

Posted by admin on January 2, 2010

Everyone here at the shop relishes the opportunity to work on any project involving skulls. Call us predictable (seeing as how we are in the middle of Salem), but nothing beats a good skull tattoo! However, Molly recently discovered that the only thing cooler than skeleton tattoos are black and grey, conjoined-twin, fetal skeleton tattoos! Check out her work below and make sure to give us a ring if you have any creative ta

ke on a skeleton tattoo (or any other fun custom ideas) for Molly to help you out with.

Micro-Turtle Tattoo by Natan!

Posted by admin on December 15, 2009

Although Natan is often knee-deep in back-pieces and sleeves, you can sometimes catch him at work on small pieces, or in this case, MICRO pieces! Check out this tiny realistic turtle that Natan tattooed on a woman's foot a little while back. Even if you're not yet ready for a massive, multiple-sitting tattoo, make sure to book out your time with Natan if you have an

y ideas for tattoos in his style, big or small!

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 episod

e, 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.

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!

New Harp tattoo by Molly

Posted by admin on June 8, 2009

Harp Tattoo by Molly McKinnon

The Irish have always been proud to show their heritage in the

form of skin art. The most popular image tends to be a shamrock, or a clover. My client Steve choose to support his roots with another time-honored symbol of the Irish; the harp. Unless you are familiar with the Guinness draft logo, or the Irish in general it may come as a surprise that the image of the harp is the symbol of the Emerald Island. He brought in a photo of a real harp he printed off the internet, but requested I draw it up in a more traditional style.

New Scarab Tattoo by Molly McKinnon

Posted by admin on April 10, 2009

This is a tattoo I recently did of an Egyptian style scarab. This was the customerâ€™s first tattoo and she wanted to make it count. Most of the time at Witch City Ink we recommend coming in for a consultation in order for your artist to gather all the information needed to give you a great tattoo. The results always speak for themselves.
