I've been going to Matt at Boneface Ink since 2012. Β The shop, located on the top floor of an office building near the entrance to Cory Station, is unassuming from the outside, but inside it is spacious, brightly lit, and exceptionally clean. Β There is a decent sized waiting area, and the spaces where the artists do their work all have a good amount of room so they aren't bumping into each other.I have 13 large custom tattoos, all done by Matt, and every one of them gets me stopped and asked who did them (and since I've moved to Atlanta, a lot of disappointed groans when they find out he's in Florida!). Β From start to finish, from design to sketch to setting up his workspace to actually doing the tattoo, Matt is a PERFECTIONIST, which is exactly what you want in a tattoo artist! Β Matt is humble, but prides himself on 2 things: the quality of his work, and his honesty. If you are looking for an artist that will tattoo whatever you want, wherever you want, Matt is not the guy for you. Β He's been doing high level tattooing for long enough that he KNOWS if a piece will not work in a specific area, and is what you want is not going to last the rigors of time... And he will refuse to do a piece if he knows that what you want will not reflect well upon him as an artist. Β He is accommodating and personable to a point, but he has zero tolerance for bullshit, stupidity, and diva behavior. Β That's one reason I respect him so much, because I'm the same way! Β That, and he's one of the smartest people I've had the pleasure of getting to know!So if you are looking for a WELL DONE piece of flash, or a custom piece that will turn heads for the rest of your life, book an appointment with Matt. Β Don't be a dick; bring your ideas and listen to his advice and opinion; he's got enough experience and an amazing artistic eye, you won't regret making changes if what you have in mind just won't quite work, trust me! Β Follow his aftercare instructions (looking at you, beach bunnies who go swimming the day after they get tattooed and wonder why the ink comes out, and dudes getting hot and sweaty and dirty at the gym and wondering why their piece got infected... dumbasses), add you'll have a piece you will be happy to show off until the day you die!
