Matt

Hey, my name's Matt! I started my tattooing career as an apprentice at Skin City, with Kate as my mentor, and I'm stoked to be continuing it right here!

       I've been an artist as long as I can remember, I started with Stan Lee and John Buscema's "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" at 7 years old. That book hooked me, and I spent all the time I could drawing and learning from then on. In my teens I fell in love with tattooing and got my first tattoo at 16 in my hometown in Montana. It took me another 16 years to find my way into the industry, during which I spent time all over doing all kinds of jobs, in North Carolina, Okinawa Japan, Oahu Hawaii, and Texas before settling here in Portland. I never stopped creating art though and never lost my love for tattooing! My personal style leans into American Traditional or Neo Traditional, but I'm open to tattooing in whatever style works for your idea.

       Thanks for checking out my bio, send me an email or a DM on Instagram to talk about the next tattoo you want!
