Easton tattoo artist buys Northampton Street building
Stacy Wescoe//July 7, 2026//
An Easton tattoo artist has cemented the future of his business by buying the building he has been operating out of.
Elijah Geschwindner, owner of Famous Tattoo Works, has purchased the commercial building at 1210 Northampton Street after renting the location for seven years.
The purchase was backed by commercial financing arranged by Jeff Barber of Lehigh Financial Group, LLC, who guided Geschwindner through navigating the funding process and securing the necessary equity to finalize the transaction.
“This building has been the home of Famous Tattoo Works for a long time, and transitioning from renting to owning is a huge milestone,” said Geschwindner, who has been a professional tattoo artist for 25 years. “The opportunity to buy had been on the table with my landlord since 2022, but the timing and financial alignment had to be just right. Going all-in to make this property ours brings a real sense of permanence.”
Geschwindner, who began his career at age 19 while studying graphic design, worked in approximately a dozen shops across major markets like Los Angeles, New York City, and Cincinnati before choosing to plant his roots in the Lehigh Valley.
With ownership secured, immediate plans for the property involve a series of functional and aesthetic upgrades.
Planned renovations include repairing the storefront sidewalk, installing an inviting commercial glass front door, reconfiguring the interior layout to establish an open-concept space, upgrading the lighting, and executing a complete ADA-accessible bathroom remodel. Additionally, a brand-new furnace and heating system will be installed to modernize the facility’s infrastructure.
