“Dear Matthew, thank you for our amazing engagement tattoos. And for your kindness, patience and support after a negative experience with a previous artist. You really turned our experience around and we are so happy with our matching tattoos of each other's star sign. We've already forgotten what lies underneath! It was worth the trip from London to Berlin and we will definitely be back to see you again in the future! Thanks so much, Emma and Naomi xX .”

“Matthew, I love the "creative juices" citrus wedge tattoo you did for me. I was instantly impressed by the thought you'd put into the design even before the appointment. Yet, you were patient and collaborative as we fine tuned thé color and placement to make it come to life. I truly saw how this tattoo and my experience getting it was as important to you as it was to me, and could not have been in better hands. I have gotten so many compliments on it since! Thank you again!”

“I am so proud to wear two wonderful pieces of art from this incredibly talented artist. The first tattoo I got from Matthew was an adorable piece of flash inspired by Spirited Away. Getting tattooed by them was easy, Matthew's laugh is infectious, and I had a great time being around them. The tattooing was quick and the healing process was fast. The second piece I got from Matthew was a custom beetle in Matthew's signature glittery style. They were so open to my idea and their interpretation is gorgeous.

They were very kind and were cool when I said I needed a break. I would highly recommend getting a tattoo from Matthew Takata!”
