I've gotten a few tattoos by Matt and they turned out great! Â (details on the tats further below if you're interested).
Old Glory Tattoo, his shop, is a chill place to get work done. Â I love the design of the shop and always feel at ease when I'm there. Â It's always super clean, which is something everyone should look for and value in a tattoo shop. Â Matt is laid back and makes sure you are comfortable as he proceeds throughout the tattoo process. Â He takes the time to carefully create the design first, then will discuss the design, size and placement with you before laying ink to skin. Â
Matt works by appointment only, so make sure you call ahead to discuss your idea with him and book your appointment.
My tattoo details if you're curious:
- First was a specific design which I requested he make a replica of, it is an 8-bit style video game design which is pretty tedious and difficult to pull off, needless to say it turned out perfect! Â
- The second tattoo is in progress: a calf sleeve of a colorful phoenix in traditional Japanese style. Â For this one I wanted to give Matt more creative freedom and my only instructions were the subject (phoenix) and location (calf sleeve). Â It is nearly done and I'm loving how it is turning out, tons of detail and beautiful color arrangement. Â I'll post pics once it is complete.
Been going to Ben Miller for years and he does an amazing job every time. Â I'm not very artistic at all and he takes my rough ideas and turns them into great pieces of art. Â The shop is great. Â Very clean and inviting. Â I would highly recommend anyone check this place out and you will not be disappointed.
