A Bit of Black & Grey
admin
As October rolls on, each weekend is a little busier than the last. We’ve had the pleasure of meeting some great new clients, as well as working with some of the old. Steve did this massive rosary on a very friendly guy who was visiting Salem with his family. He sat like a champ! Molly…

Molly: In Progress Work & an Announcement
admin
Our favorite lady of the shop has been working hard since returning from vacation. We’ve only managed to snag a few pics from her lately, but we remain excited about everything she’s done and is doing. For example, while this octopus coverup is only an outline thus far, we have no doubt that it is…

Pin-up and Coverup by Steve
admin
We’ve had a lot of pretty-lady tattoos going on in the shop lately, and you won’t hear a single one of us complaining about it. Steve did this pin-up over the weekend, which purposely resembled the equally-pretty lady getting it tattooed on her. We talked a bit about coverups here in this post, and this…

The Raven & the All-Seeing Eye
admin
Sometimes putting too much symbolism into a tattoo doesn’t work out. If you try to put too many elements into a relatively small space, it can appear jumbled and confusing — both aesthetically and logically. This client came to us with a handful of ideas, all good ones, and Natan helped him put them all…

In Which We Investigate PJ. Part One.
admin
Ahh, little is known about our resident tattooer, PJ. He specializes in traditional tattoos. He makes a pretty awesome ice cream cake. He maintains a constant demeanor that is equal parts sweet and surly. But other than that, there’s a reason we refer to him as an international man of mystery. We recently sent a…

Dia de los Muertos
admin
Every so often we get a client that trusts us enough to give us a larger-than-usual amount of artistic license. Ted is one of those clients. He gave Natan a few ideas, and ended up with a gorgeous Day of the Dead woman on his arm. It hurt, but he was all smiles when he…

October: The Time for All Things Spooky
admin
Many people associate October with Halloween, general spookiness, and the official start of autumn. Being in Salem, we get a good dose of spooky year round, but somehow as soon as the calendar folds over to October 1st, the number of witch hats, weird masks, and pumpkin goodies vastly increases. And we also do a…

Some Black and Grey by Natan
admin
I know it seems like we’ve been blogging about everyone but Natan these days. This does not mean that he’s been tattooing less — in fact, he’s busier than ever as of late. Quite a few of his recent pieces are larger and spanning multiple sessions, so we can’t share those with you yet, but…

Molly and the Tribal Coverup
admin
Any tattooer that knows what they’re doing can tell you that coverups can be tricky things. It truly takes skill to execute a coverup piece that looks good — and not completely obvious. There are many great things about this piece done by Molly. Including this (words straight from Molly’s fingertips): “This is a cover…

More Art Around the Shop
admin
american, art, black plague, drawings, eagle, flag, ma, massachusetts, paintings, salem, tattoo, tattoos, tiger, witch city, wolfIn between tattoos and even on their days off, the Witch City artists have been cranking out art. They certainly love what they do, and we love that they do it. Lately, Molly has been inspired by the black plague. Just kidding. Sort of. PJ’s preferred drawing surface these days are simple paper bags. This…
