About

Hi, I'm Matt Porter.

I've been tattooing since 1995, working mostly in bright, bold neo-traditional and illustrative pieces. I care about getting the linework right and making sure the design actually fits the body it's going on, not just the paper it was drawn on.

Most sessions start with a conversation. Tell me what you're picturing, what it means to you, and where it's going, and we'll figure out the rest together — placement, scale, and style included.
