MATT CHRISTENSEN

Matt is a seasoned Army infantry veteran turned tattoo artist, whose journey into the world of ink began in a traditional street shop. Over the years, he’s mastered an impressive range of artistic styles, blending high-intensity illustrative and realistic elements to create tattoos that are not only visually stunning but also radiate confidence. With over 190 tattoo awards to his name, it’s no wonder his work consistently turns heads.

Matt has earned a reputation for his exceptional cover-up tattoos, taking a unique approach to ensure that the old design is completely transformed. Unlike many artists who simply cover up old tattoos, Matt treats the existing artwork as the foundation for a fresh, new creation, making it impossible to see any trace of what was there before. For him, a true cover-up is about erasing old memories—not just masking them.

After nearly two decades in the tattoo industry, Matt is pursuing his original dream of becoming a computer animator. Currently attending college full-time, he’s taking fewer tattoo appointments but is focusing primarily on cover-ups and Nu-Skool artwork, ensuring every piece he creates continues to meet his high standards of excellence.
