Matt at Karma I've been in the tattoo industry since 1999. I specialize in “High-Contrast Illustrative Tattooing — Black & Grey & Bold Color”. I also paint and draw.

I prefer custom work and large projects. I accept commission work on all of the above.

🌋 Built around the eruption.
A powerful volcanic scene surrounded by tropical landscapes, rolling water, and layers of black-and-grey detail.
This piece is part of a larger lower-leg sleeve, where every section contributes to the overall design.
There's something about bringing an entire scene to life on skin that never gets old.

Some tattoos are meant to stand out. Others demand a second look. 🔴
Bold blackwork, intricate details, and just enough red to bring this piece to life.
Take a closer look at the details. What's your favorite part?

Great tattoos start with great ideas.
This ongoing black-and-grey woodland sleeve is a collaboration between the client's vision and my artistic approach.
From the owl's intense stare to the finer details, each session brings the entire piece closer to completion.
Still more work ahead, but I'm really enjoying watching this one come together.
What do you think of the progress so far?

Some tattoos are meant to sit quietly.
This one definitely isn't one of them.
Rose and bone flowing from the sleeve all the way onto the hand. I really like how the placement became part of the design instead of just somewhere to put it.
Would you tattoo your hand like this?

Life and death don’t always have to be separate ideas. Sometimes they belong in the same piece.
Really enjoyed the contrast in this one — solid blacks, organic movement, and the tree growing straight through the skull.
What catches your eye first — the skull or the tree?

Some tattoos are about the image. Others are about how the entire piece moves with the body.
This western ornamental sleeve was built around flow — bold black, open skin, and some hand-drawn details added that carry from the shoulder all the way down the arm.
I really enjoy getting to build larger pieces like this.
Would you wear an ornamental sleeve like this?

Sometimes a piece just needs room to grow. 🌿
Loved how this floral piece flows from thigh to ankle, using the natural shape of the leg to bring the whole design together.
Big pieces or small details—which do you prefer?

Taking flight. 🪽

Pegasus piece with a focus on movement, contrast, and letting the wings carry the composition.
I enjoy getting to switch things up and work on pieces like this.
Would you wear a mythology-inspired tattoo?

Sometimes the simplest designs make the biggest impact.
This delicate botanical piece was designed to follow the natural movement of the leg, wrapping from the thigh, around the knee and down the lower leg. Clean lines, subtle shading and plenty of open skin keep the entire piece light and flowing.
