Matt is an expert in coverups and achieved the impossible - he somehow turned a black, dense shape into a beautiful, small, traditional and meaningful piece that I love. I'm actually really happy that my original tattoo wasn't ideal, because I never would have had the tattoo I do now. Matt dealt with so much back and forth with me about the design with patience and grace, and had the bedside manner of a saint as I cursed and talked his ear off during the pain of a really spicy spot (near my heel, which is a biotch no matter who you go to).

I’m over the top mad that I have to let this heal and spend more money somewhere else to get it pierced the right way. Do yourself a favor and go...
Read moreFirst off the shop is located in a nice area of Beacon with lots of great restaurants and little shops. So if Beacon is a trek for you, you can make a day of it. The shop itself is really rad and the minute you step inside you immediately feel welcome.
Matt is a super talented artist. I have a half sleeve and 6 pieces of artwork done by him with plans for more so I think that should tell you how much I trust him and love his work. My Fiance also has a collection of Matt's art as well in the form of a half sleeve on one arm and a full sleeve on the other which is in the processed of being finished.
While I do not have any work by Charlie, I have seen a lot of his art over the last 3 years and he is really talented as well. They have some great guest artists too. So if you are looking for a great shop with talented artists look no futher than Honorable Ink and check these...
