I have had the pleasure of spending my time at Monumental Tattoo with my artist Matt Skin. Matt was excellent to work with from the very beginning. He is upfront about what his expectations are as a client and open to any and all questions as to what you are expecting from your artist. He even goes the extra mile to have a web page with reminders for To Dos and Not To Dos when getting your tattoo. I think he is more than reasonably priced for the quality work you are receiving. I had a full sleeve completed so I got to spend a good amount of time at the shop with Matt and the other artists. Matt is easy going and hilarious; he is open to talking but also lets you enjoy your quiet time. Everyone at Monumental Tattoo is incredibly adamant about cleanliness and hygiene ensuring you are safe during your tattoo.
The tattoo itself, I cannot put into words how happy I am. Every time I left an appointment I couldn’t imagine it getting any better and Matt proved me wrong every time. I LOVE this tattoo!! He took my ideas and made them work to fit my arm, fit the sleeve, flow, and retain details. We worked together through everything from beginning to end. I love the artist perspective Matt provides and from his suggestion we agreed change the color of the flowers about halfway through and I am so happy we did, it just fits so much better!
Shout out to the rest of the shop, amazing group of people. Liz is such a heartwarming person, helps you get checked in and get ready for the start of your appointment. The shop will offer to get you lunch, keep great movies on rotate, offer advice/critiques/encouragement on each other tattoos, and keep you laughing. Most importantly, the many times I have been there, I only see outstanding tattoos leave the shop!
I cannot recommend Monumental Tattoo enough! I love Matt and his work so much I will be traveling back to see him for future work.
