Natan Alexander, Shop Owner & Tattoo Artist

HI! I’m N^T^N, a hard working tattoo artist with 16 years experience. I have three shops in Boston, Saugus, and Salem Mass. They are called Darkwave Tattoo, Lightwave Tattoo, and Witch City Ink. At my shops I employ only the finest artists and professionals in the business. I also produce the Boston Tattoo Convention now in its 9th year. Tattooing is my passion, not just my profession. As a Tattoo Artist, I do strictly custom work that challenges me and reflects my interests and those of my clients. I love all types of tattooing and my work has an easily recognizable style that features bold lines and strong color. I travel abroad several times a year in Europe and Japan to broaden my knowledge and understanding of tattooing. My goal is to bring this knowledge and commitment to excellence into every tattoo that is done in each of my shops.

Jay Ski, Tattoo Artist

Jay has been tattooing for more then 7 years. He began his apprenticeship in Salem, NH in 2000, and worked up there for a few years before opening his own shop. Jay has also worked at our sister shop, Witch City Ink, where he was able to further his tattooing while working with top notch artists that give and receive different methods of tattooing and other art forms. We are pleased to welcome Jay to the Lightwave team where he rounds out our great selection of artists with his specialties of realistic and traditional tattoos.

Xstina Bennett, Tattoo And Henna Artist

Xstina (Kristina Bennett) here, and I started tattooing in 2001 with an apprenticship under Australian tattooist Clancy Warner, who still is a mentor today.  Having worked with some of the best in the biz, I have tattooed in Phoenix AZ, Oahu HI, Minneapolis MN, Nashua NH, Denver CO and now Saugus MA! Preferring to work in organic, flowing and natural subject matter, I  cannot deny my weakness for the color pink, pin-up girls and swirly-girly tattoos. My need to  travel has given me a great passion for art of Mexico and Latin America… but I also love the beauty and  style of the imagery found in Morocco, India, Japan.    Tattooing for me is about the entire experience.  I have many customers that I now call friends and love to connect to the history or meaning behind the tattoos I make.  I also enjoy working in many mediums of expression from oils and acrylic, ice sculpting, cooking, flower design,watercolor, jewelry and henna.

JFoo, Tattoo Artist

Tattooing professionally for 7  years now , J Foo still strives to learn something new everyday. He is always looking to go above and beyond his clients expectations and give them a terrific custom tattoo. A talented artist who gets his influences from a wide variety of artistic mediums including comic books, cartoons & graffiti, he really enjoys the “new skool” tattoos but can transition without a pause from “new skool” to black and gray, full color or tribal. Like all the artists here, he prefers custom & original work- even on flash ! He can (and will) take your art or reference and put his spin on it, making it another special one of a kind .
