Born just barely not in Chicago, Mat’s been tattooing since the tender year of 2006—though if you ask him, he’s probably just recovering lost tattoo skills from a past life (with help from a kind but questionably qualified wizard).
His style lives somewhere between tough and funny, classic and unexpected. Mat is well-versed in “both” styles of tattooing and is actively exploring the possibility of a third. Whether it’s a meaningful totem or a bold throwback banger, he’s here to make you cooler, more interesting, and possibly more magnetic to the people around you.
When he’s not tattooing, he’s either watching weird YouTube videos from his Wi-Fi-enabled coffin or painting while riding a motorcycle in search of a campground with a Michelin-starred chef and a woodworking shed.
