MATT CHRISTENSEN

Matt is an Army infantry veteran who started his tattooing career in a street shop. He has had to adapt to many different artistic styles and influences, resulting in his high-intensity fusion of illustrative and realistic elements. Matt’s artwork always turns heads, not only because of how stunning it looks but also because of the beautiful confidence it instills in his clients. With over 190 tattoo awards, wouldn’t you like to say that your tattoo won some gold?

Matt is particularly renowned for his cover-up tattoos. His approach treats the old tattoo as the base for the new design, making it impossible to see what was previously there. Many artists slap a tattoo on top of the old one, allowing the covered artwork to resurface, which in Matt's opinion is unacceptable. Covering up a tattoo should completely erase any reminders of the old design or any unpleasant memories.

After almost two decades in the tattoo industry, Matt has decided to pursue his original goal of becoming a computer animator. He is currently attending college full-time to earn his degree, which has resulted in him taking far fewer appointments. Due to his limited availability, he is prioritizing cover-ups and Nu-Skool artwork.
