Matt Vaught Tattoo 1765 Newport Boulevard, Costa Mesa, CA 92627

"I had been trying to get my sleeve done here in SoCal for a very long time but couldn't find an artist that could produce the quality of work i wanted. After my first session with Matt i told myself no one else will touch either of my arms. Matts ability to produce realistic portraits and just overall amazing creative ability is insane. The other thing i want to say about Matt is he is a PROFESSIONAL, he doesnt do this for fame, money or any other reason but the fact he loves to tattoo (you know this by his level of concentration when he's tattooing). He is exactly what you want when looking for a tattoo artist, a professional. He is extremely well spoken and thoughtful throughout the entirety of the design process. Watching Matt prep for one of our 8 hour sessions is like watching a pro athlete warm up, cleanliness 11/10 (this guy changes gloves like no ones business), Stencil is drawn out, distractions are tuned out, everything is ready to go and squared away because when he starts he gets to work. Funny story: I had to stop wearing tank tops to one particular gym because i had so many people ask me who did my sleeve, and asked to see it - they would interrupt me mid set to ask about it. If you need some ink - Matt is your guy, no one will ever touch my arms but him."

"Matt Vaughan is my favorite tattoo artist. He is incredibly talented and a true professional. Every time he has tattooed me. I feel like it is the best day ever because I have fun, get beautiful tattoos and I feel very safe. I have been tattooed by a few people but now trust Matt to design my skin and I am transforming into a work of art. His ability to draw would cause anyone to seek out his illustrations but what is most impressive is his ability to draw on skin and turn markers into master pieces. I have asked him to do work that I helped create, needed help making better and I have asked him to design a tattoo he felt could win "Tattoo Of The Day" in competition. He has exceeded our goals every time and I now am the proud owner of a 1st Place Award-Winning Tattoo. I have nothing but great things to say about working with Matt and recommend that anyone that wants a permanent treasure tattooed on their skin consult him. If you are lucky enough to get tattooed by Matt Vaught. You will have marked a moment in your life where you had a true legend make a gift for you that you can take to the grave."

"Matt did my first tattoo and he is incredibly professional. He makes the process as stress free as possible. He is also an amazing artist and amazing with the tattoo gun. I highly highly recommend him to anyone looking to get a tattoo especially first timers. I am going to get my second piece done by him as my experience and the quality of the work were that amazing!"

"I worked along side Matt at a tattoo convention and he was the nicest, kindest, down to earth human being on the planet. That was years ago and we still keep in touch to this day. His work is incredible and his passion for life in general is a breath of fresh air."
