Mark Matthews

Tattoo Artist

Mark has had a passion for art ever since he was a child. He channeled that passion into the world of tattooing when he was introduced to the medium when he was seventeen. Mark learned tattooing the hard way. A self-taught artist, he considers himself lucky to have had the opportunity to work alongside a number of great artists who have motivated, inspired and taught him how to become a better artist. Aside from tattooing, Mark is also a professional mixed martial arts fighter, who competes several times a year. He's a true family man who counts his wife and two kids as his biggest supporters both in and out of the ring. Mark specializes in black and gray and is also experienced in traditional Japanese and Americana styles. Mark can be found tattooing from Sacramento to San Francisco – find out where he’ll be tattooing next on his personal website.
