Approach to tattooing & working with clients
Matt schedules a consultation for each new tattoo, encouraging clients to bring inspirations to the conversation but preferring to create each individual piece so it’s as unique as the client getting the tattoo. Each tattoo is custom, hand-drawn in one of Matt’s illustrative styles, including neotraditional, cyberpunk, and Japanese. He combines stenciling and free-drawing to place the tattoo in a way that best fits the area on the body.
Communication
For new clients, Instagram DM is the primary method of communication for inquiries, to discuss initial ideas and schedule the consultation.
During the tattoo
Matt keeps tattoo sessions fun, engaging and laid back. You can expect movies, laughs and fun.
