For my first tattoo chose local by Yelp ratings and pictures on the website. MT studios was the right choice for me.  Quinn had some great ideas on design and details that turned out way better than I originally imagined.  Very patient with my questions. Quinn also uses a cartridge needle system that is very 21st century compared to standard rotary needle system. Very happy with color, crisp lines and level of detail. Read Less

So I got my first tattoo a few weeks ago from Matt and was super happy. I got my family crest done and it came out amazing, so I just added onto my tattoo today 11/20/15 I highly recommend Matt as a first timer, he will do everything possible to make you comfortable. Read Less

Late post, but better than never.  Had the itch to get another tattoo on a Sunday morning.  What to do?  Went on Yelp to look for some good artist around the area.  Came across MT Tattoos.  Looked at the reviews and photos, I decided to give it a shot.  I had called in just to make sure someone is available for me, since this is spur of the moment act.  =)  Went in there and Lisa (love the name) was there to help me.  My tatt was a simple text and she was able to take me right away.  Within 30 mins I got my new tattoo!  Everybody was super friendly and the place was open with bright sunlight shining through.  I'm about to come back to get another tattoo!  Itchy itchy!  I would recommend Lisa, but I don't know if she's there anymore!  Oh no!  I just read some reviews.  EEEK!

Matt is one heck of an artist. From the moment I walked in til the end, he and his staff were totally professional and made me feel very comfortable. Line work was ridiculous for my piece and he exceeded my expectations. Than when he added the color, it made the entire tattoo look 3D. I've been a painter (automotive) by trade for over 25 years, so this review is coming from a very picky painter. Thank you again Matt for doing an outstanding job on my family crest, I will proudly wear it for the rest of my life. Dave Read Less

Clean, professional, and friendly artists with loads of talent! I've gotten three tattoos at MT Tattoos. 2 of which were on my head, done by Matt himself. He is so gentle, and precise. I can't believe I'm saying that my head tattoos were my least painful!My most recent tattoo was done by their newest artist Lisa Raddochia. It is a stylized mon mon inspired cat. It's so beautiful, the detail is incredible. Check out her "Quartraits"! They are portraits the size of a quarter!  I love this shop and all the artists are so nice and talkative unlike a lot of places where they talk down to you. Not at MT Tattoos. You will thoroughly enjoy your experience at MT Tattoos! Read Less

Excellent, above and beyond excellent. All of my tattoos were done here and they're all lovely! Relaxed attitude and dedicated staff. Other than that, the shop is very cool looking and always, always clean. Can't find a cooler and talented guy than Matthew Tarkman! He can take a design you had in mind and transform it into a masterpiece, very sweet and friendly. All of the apprentices get a shoutout too, dedicated to what they do and love it!<3 <3 <3 Read Less

Matthew is not only an amazing tattoo artist but one of the nicest artist I've met. I came in with a simple idea and he flourished my idea to a beautiful masterpiece. The apprentice were also very nice. Thanks Read Less
