Matthieu started practicing the art of tattooing in 2012 in the south of France.| ||246

Très tôt, durant les années collège, il découvre le milieu du “street art”. Impressionné par les grandes fresques colorées et les collages disproportionnés, il commença petit à petit à en faire de même sur les murs ou panneaux de sa ville. S’essayant à diverses pratiques artistiques, il gravite quelques temps autour de cet univers qui le passionne tant, en s’inspirant des personnages de “Kefli” ou de “Miss Van” par exemple.

Taking a lot of enjoying scribbling on everything he finds, he directs his studies towards an artistic field. Spending a few years at a communications and graphic arts school, he ended up meeting during internships the man who would later become his apprentice in tattooing.
Training required.
After a year of hard work, observation, apprentice jobs, patience, failures and perseverance at his side, he ended up being trained with rigor and precision, according to the “old traditional practices”.

Once his training was completed, he realized the richness and diversity that the world of tattooing offered him.  

So he packed his bags and left to travel to enrich himself through human, professional and artistic exchanges.
After a few years of wandering, several professional stays in Amsterdam, numerous guests in France and a bunch of conventions, he decides to settle down in the beautiful pink city!

His favorite style in tattooing is realism. 
Basically, anything that can be reproduced from a photo. Whether in black and white or in color, he likes everything! He loves playing with contrasts and textures. 

Also a fan of Asian culture and Japanese tattoos, he likes to draw inspiration from them in his creations. Just as he is also inspired by old artistic movements or the emerging geek culture in the 2000s.
In short, don't hesitate to present your craziest projects, your favorite films/series , or even games that marked your childhood!
