Matt is an award-winning, world-traveling artist based in Los Alamitos, California. His focus is large-scale dark surrealism, and realism pieces, with a secondary focus on neotraditional tattoos. A story of redemption: Matt’s first experience as a tattoo artist came in the California prison system in 2011. Tattooing saved his life. It gave him a new purpose and direction. And today he strives to give as much back to the tattoo industry. To leave it better than he found it. Fun fact: Matt was one of the very first tattoo artists to reach over 1 million followers on TikTok in 2021.
