I graduated from East Carolina University with a BFA in Sculpture. Soon after graduation I apprenticed under Gary Nobles at Skin Grafix in Greenville, NC.
I tattooed at Skin Grafix for years.

I now tattoo at Tattoo Zoo in Raleigh, NC in the Avent Ferry Shopping Center on the corner of Avent Ferry and Gorman. Located near the NC State campus.

I enjoy working on American Traditional, Black and Grey, and pretty much anything custom that I can put my own twist on.

Stop by the southern Raleigh location and we can talk about working on your new piece!


"Followed the new artist, Matt, in the shop from Greenville (where he is no newbie) to get another tattoo. This guy is number one in the Triangle and Greenville area for anything traditional and so much more. Everyone in the shop is very professional and willing to take time and answer any questions. I have a lot more work to be done, and a lot of it will be down by Matt and looking forward to getting Steve to do some work and maybe more in the shop. These guys are truly stand up and great to work with.‎"
