Nashville tattoo artist

Mat Moreno

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.

Mat Moreno is amazing! His line work, the color, the design, his vision…all of it. I didn’t meet him until the appointment and he put so much care and thought into the design. This was a very important piece of my story and he more than nailed it. I’m grateful to have been a canvas for his creativity!

Tanya Sampson for Mat Moreno

Mat was awesome, my daughter and I were in Nashville and decided to get matching tattoos. It’s a lyric, and I wasn’t sure about the writing. Mat went over different styles and explained what would be a better choice. I highly recommend Mat and H&H when searching for a tattoo artist.
