Hey there, welcome to my website! I'm Matt aka Grinz, and I'm a super passionate tattoo artist and illustrator. Art has been my passion ever since I was a little kid, and now I get to live the dream by creating amazing peaces of art, then drawing them all over people.

I started my journey in the arts by geeking out over Visual Effects and 3D animation for a couple of years. But then, around eight years ago, I totally fell in love with the tattooing, and I haven't looked back since! My specialty is in blackwork and dotwork illustrative tattoos, i love creating designs that include lots of detail and really clean and intricate linework.

While tattooing is my current passion, I've got a great desire to explore even more creative avenues. In the future, I want to dive headfirst into illustrative concept design, where I can unleash my love for fantasy and sci-fi and bring them to life through visual storytelling. My ultimate goal is to write and illustrate my very own graphic novel, combining my two passions - art and storytelling.

So stick around, check out my work, and if you're feeling inspired hit me up and we can hopefully work on something awesome together.
