Spring is here, kind of.

Spring is, kind of, here! It's sort of warm, sometimes, but it's always the perfect time for a tattoo. With that sort of positive thinking in mind, we've all been cruising through a bunch of new projects, as presented below for your viewing pleasure.

Molly finished coloring in these beautiful flowers on a hip:
Steve finely rendered this little puppy dog portrait:
AND he hit the second session on this Japanese tiger half-sleeve he's been working on:
I finished this little painting for my booth:
Pea Jay has a thick stack of these awesome paintings just waiting for you to come by and get one tattooed:

Lastly, the boss (Natan) is away for the week on a well-deserved vacation. I would put in some sort of humorous photo about where he is, but this blog-machine doesn't seem to want to post anymore, so that's it! For now...

As always, call, email, or stop on by to talk about your own custom tattoo today!

Oh man, Witch City Ink blog? It's like the future in the palm of your hand.

Welcome aboard to the brand new blog-place of the tattoo shop, Witch City Ink, in Salem, Massachusetts. This is our maiden voyage on the good ship internet-blog and we invite you to join us for what promises to be a rollicking journey.

Follow our continuing adventures as we make some tattoos, frame up some art, hang out with some wacky and colorful Salemites, and generally, rock and roll. We'll be posting updates on all of these antics and more as frequently as we can, so stay tuned and make sure to give us a call in the shop or stop on by to say hello!

Until then, we'll leave you with a sampling of some new stuff from the dudes/dudette down here:

Brand new, soft black and grey (well, maybe a little bit of gold and periwinkle hidden in there...), tibetan skull from the boss, Natan Alexander:


Start of a Metallica leg-sleeve with this ...And Justice For All cover artwork interpreted, tattooed, and blurrily photographed by micah:

Next up, some soft painterly work from our soft painterly guy, Matt Maguire! Healed up photo of this big Japanese koi-fish/lotus flower backpiece he's been working on:
Then, what pairs better with dancing bears than some skippin' skeletons? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Black and grey folksy skeleton action by dudette, Molly McKinnon:
The friendliest guy with the biggest beard, Mr. Pea Jay, is second to none when it comes to solid, crisp, clean, and timeless traditional work. Flowers as follows:
Finally, Steve always nails it with wildlife and nature-y type of work. Fox on ribs with some extra nature to spice up the background:

That's all for now! Stay tuned, check out the site, facebook, and the twitter as soon as I make us a twitter (i'll let you know, don't worry).
