Matt

Matt is a tattoo artist with over 15 years of experience, bringing creativity and meaning to every piece he creates. Before tattooing, Matt spent 22 years as a graphic designer, building a strong foundation in design and detail. During the Covid years, Matt explored painting commissions, focusing on portraits and animal artwork that captured the unique personality of each subject. Outside of art, Matt has been playing drums since 1980. His band tours across Europe and the U.S. Art and music have always been at the heart of what he does, and he loves sharing that passion with others.
