Mathew Hays

📍 Huntington, WV

I began my apprenticeship in 1997 at Wizards Illusions in south Charleston WV. While tattooing in the Huntington area for the last ten years I've attended & worked many conventions and guest spotted across the country, which has given me the chance to learn from and be tattooed by many skilled artist. I enjoy custom art and tattooing of all styles but find myself leaning towards large black & grey work. Currently I tattoo at Tat-nice Tattoos in Huntington, West Virginia.
