Salem
Salem was born in beautiful San Francisco, California. Most of his childhood was spent growing up and down the west coast surrounded by an eclectic world of art, music, and creativity. The tattoo world seemed to always intrigue him, until he took the steps needed to begin the trade on his own. After taking the last 30 years to travel while learning and experiencing what tattooing had to share, he decided to settle back down in his birth place in the bay, in 2003.
Here`s a little section of an Uncle Sam riding a TerrapinTurtle I did for Josh. Stay tuned for healed photos soon.

My friend Todd and I came up with this leg piece for him. There are a few different song references in here including a paint by number sky that looks so phony from Touch of Gray. Can anyone name some of the other song references in this tattoo?
