MATT DUARTE
Tattoo Artist
With nearly two decades behind the needle, Matt Duarte brings experience, creativity, and good vibes to every tattoo session. His journey started with a love for art and old-school lowrider magazines, and eventually led to a formal apprenticeship under Sam Enriquez at Bullseye Tattoo in Banning, CA. Since then, tattooing has become more than a job, it’s a way to connect stories, personalities, and art all in one.
Matt specializes in realism, black and grey, portraits, and hyperrealistic color work. Whether he’s tattooing a beloved pet, a horror icon, or a tribute to a family member, he brings detail and heart to every piece. He’s even done a Twinkie Man tattoo, and yes, it’s as awesome as it sounds.
Clients love Matt not just for his work, but for his chill, approachable vibe. He’s easy to talk to, always down to share a laugh or a life story, and probably has some solid advice to go along with your ink. Every session with Matt is an experience, and you’ll usually leave with a great tattoo, a good story, and maybe even some food in your belly.
Outside the studio, Matt’s a gamer, a photographer, and a family guy. He also dabbles in watercolor, oil painting, and good old pencil-and-paper sketching.
