Love your tattoo tour videos. They're so informative, clear, cleverly edited, and well done! It would be awesome if you made more tattoo-related content. Maybe some tips for how you find artists, decide on placement/build sleeves, healing tattoos, a study on the American traditional style, etc? You seem so knowledgeable and passionate about the topic, I think you'd absolutely kill it!
Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling with what I want to do with the channel to be honest. On one hand, I could do more work-related content - which could be possibly good for my career growth….but also, it feels like work. On the other hand, I’m thinking about really diving into tattoo content. It’s more fun, doesn’t feel like work.
@@UXmatt RUclips is a great creative outlet for exploring your passions and tattoos certainly seem like one of yours! But excited to see your future content, regardless of what avenue you choose.
Yooooo! Legitimately the best tattoo tour video I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot. You have an insane collection! I just started my trad tattoo journey this year, so this was all very valuable info!
Nicole at Front Street in TC has done a piece for me. I’m from northern Michigan, and Front Street is the only shop in the area I’ll go to. Nicole and Matt are great. A new hobby of mine is traveling around the country and getting work from different traditional artists. Scott Huttenmaier, Brandon Cutter and Drake Babbs at Keepsake Tattoo in OKC were in December. Steve Zimovan and Heidi Failmezger at Remember Me Tattoo in Asheville NC were last month. Next up is Zack Deaton at Made To Last Tattoo in Charlotte NC in a couple weeks. I have an addiction at this point haha.
Love your tattoos, Matt. I am an assistant professor that found your channel about leaving academia. I have found them very helpful in my own journey. I also have a growing number of American Trad tatts. Your canvas is a beautiful model.
I'm in Michigan and going to Lucky Monkey for my traditional sleeve. Found an artist I jive with and stuck with him. 6 sessions in 3 months so far, and we're almost done. Can't wait to finish the arm, but then it just means it's on to the next area, lol...
REALLY late reply. My back is all done, save for a final touch up. I'm trying to lose some weight before possibly making a video. I love my tattoos but mostly hate the body they're on (womp womp).
I haven’t posted in a long while, BUT I have gotten a lot of tattoos since this was posted: backpiece (done). Added panther/2 cobras to my stomach (both Becca Lerner) other knee is done. And a few pieces here and there. Currently working on finishing my legs. If I get a chance and some motivation at some point, I’ll try to dust the channel off and post an update video.
Thank you! I have a ton of religious trauma otherwise I LOVE the design . I just started my back with Becca Lerner about 3 weeks ago. I’m going to Indy next week for a back to back session to finish lines and maybe shading.
Thank you! A few pieces are from Toco-Oco (wolves/masked figure). Miru Brugmann (Etsy) folk-y ceramic mask.. Josh Thomson for one of the portraits. Otherwise, it's mostly random stuff I've found while thrifting over the years.
We live in Pittsburgh now. We only lived in Ann Arbor for a year. I SHOULD have gotten something at Name Brand (really want a dragon from Julian). Now, it's a 4-hour drive, but it's on the list.

Thank you so much!!! I'm starting my back with Becca Lerner next month (both excited and terrified)
Love traveling to different artists and collecting pieces from them. You have such solid work
100% agreed. Any time I do any travel, it’s the first thing I think about. And thank you!!!

Saw you got your back done! We need an update some time! Love the vids.

Really awesome collection!

Awesome mate!
Go to grand blvd tattoo in Detroit those guys are the juggernauts in trad
Cool video 👍. You should go for a rock of ages backpiece 👌👌
Thank you! I have a ton of religious trauma otherwise I LOVE the design . I just started my back with Becca Lerner about 3 weeks ago. I’m going to Indy next week for a back to back session to finish lines and maybe shading.
You should check out oldeline tattoo in Hagerstown Maryland. There's a bunch of amazing traditional artists there and not too far from you!
Thanks!! I will!
Neat Traditional American tattoos. I'd love to get a couple of ladyhead designs on my forearms. Watching in 👍🇬🇧
Have you ever visited Union 3 in Detroit? I've been a few times and I had a good experience.
I never made it there when we were living in Detroit, but I very nearly got some flash by Matt Paw. Super cool stuff.
i was just at tattoo paradise finishing up my sleeve haha
RAD! It’s a great shop.
Love your collection!
Thank you!
is it okay to show my tattoo artist a piece of flash from another artist to have to mimic it?
hey brother where did you get those amazing wall art?
Thank you! A few pieces are from Toco-Oco (wolves/masked figure). Miru Brugmann (Etsy) folk-y ceramic mask.. Josh Thomson for one of the portraits. Otherwise, it's mostly random stuff I've found while thrifting over the years.
@@UXmatt thank you so much! love the videos and tattoo's
Shout out to nick ❤
You have to somehow be related to the Green brothers.
I wish! That's be rad.
You live in Ann Arbor and don't go to Name Brand?!
We live in Pittsburgh now. We only lived in Ann Arbor for a year. I SHOULD have gotten something at Name Brand (really want a dragon from Julian). Now, it's a 4-hour drive, but it's on the list.
Why does every traditional tattoo I get come out looking like shit? What am I doing wrong?
Do you go to people that specialize in that style?
