About

Matthew has chosen Bristol as the place to cultivate and refine his creative voice, drawing constant inspiration from the city’s rich artistic culture and independent spirit. His passion for travel has taken him across the world, allowing him to collaborate with fellow artists, exchange ideas, and continually evolve his practice. At the core of his work is a deep connection to art as both a discipline and a mindset—something he draws upon to shape each piece with intention, atmosphere, and emotion.

His tattoo style is rooted in the tradition of black and grey, where he combines strong elements of realism with a more experimental approach to texture and composition. Through subtle gradients, striking contrasts, and carefully considered use of light and shadow, his work achieves a sense of depth and movement. He is particularly drawn to creating pieces that feel immersive and expressive, often pushing beyond traditional boundaries to develop innovative compositions that are both visually compelling and technically refined.

Matthew tattoos and paints at Welcome Studios in the centre of Bristol, UK, where he continues to develop his craft and create work that reflects both his personal journey and the influences he has gathered along the way.
