5 stars! Just finished a full upper arm sleeve with Michael DeMatty. It was a cover up of a large silly tattoo from my younger days. With Michael's creativity, guidance and skill, I'm feeling quite chuffed about my new tattoo. He is a credit to the tattoo community. I highly recommend Michael! -Paul C.

5 stars! I got my first tattoo from Michael and I absolutely love it. Michael took the time to explain the process, provided multiple stencils for comparison, and the tattoo turned out perfect. He was kind and professional and I would highly recommend Michael to anyone. -James K.

5 stars! Michael was phenomenal!! By far one of the best tattoo experiences I've had so far. He was so nice, payed attention to every little detail, and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. He also had such a light touch. I walked out so happy and i highly recommend him. -Ian A.
