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).

World of Metal Tattoos

Thanks to the magic of search engines and the internet, we once again take you for a spin around the world of metal tattoos. Hold on tight, it's going to be a depressing and bumpy ride.

1. The line-up of bands on his leg is enough to make you gag.
2. The guy's disgusting hairy leg and crotch shot are enough to make you barf.

3. The fact that the guy is married (see wedding band) is enough to make you loose all hope and respect for women.

How many of you were surprised that the asshole who has this tattoo is wearing white hi-tops, and white ankle socks. Anyone? No? Good. I wasn't either.

This picture is proof that men are not only idiots, but also gross. Look at that disgusting armpit hair, or whatever body part that is. I've never felt so hetero in my life.

This guy is my hero. I'm not being ironic. He's rad.

The Sarge and I saw Fear Factory some years ago in what was basically a midwestern parking lot. They played a Pantera song, and we both got the douche chills. This is the kind of tattoo that the dude who has it would show to the band members with great pride. The band members would then go "uh....wow...really? Sheesh. Wow."

Late addition, suggested by a reader in the comments section. I don't even know where to start! The awful rendering with the fu-manchu mustache, the hat, the goatee, the pimples on Dimebag's forehead....oh and did I mention the Heavy Metal logo?

Now this, my friends, is commitment. I would love to meet this guy and tell him "I'm a real Queensryche fan, not like you" just to watch his blood boil and his head blow up.

Any readers out there have band-related ink? Tell the truth, I know there's at least one Napalm Death or a Nasty Savage tattoo out there somewhere.
