"When my wife showed me Zig's gallery that she found online, I was immediately so impressed with the quality of art on his page. I've been wanting an astronaut with some sort of space theme for a while, and seeing his work made me finally comfortable enough to trust someone with bringing my ideas to life. From first contacting Zig all the way to the final product, the man was professional, responsive, and incredible to work with. When he showed me his final design idea, I was so impressed and I was just hoping that it would look the same on my forearm. Honestly, the final tattoo turned out even better than the design!
During the tattooing sessions, Zig was super fun to hang out with, had a light hand, and made everything super comfortable too.
The tattoo was worth every penny and more, and when I want to get another one I know exactly who I'm going to!”

“Happy is an Understatement! I’m absolutely in love with my pet portrait of the late, great Cabu! The detail is amazing and Zig absolutely nailed the shading and expression. Every tiny feature was captured and the eyes are simply captivating. The shading is super smooth, and the whole piece turned out even better than I imagined. Zig’s friendly, easy going demeanor made the whole experience really comfortable for me! I felt like we had known each other for years by song two on the playlist! Thank you for making my Cabu portrait a reality. I would definitely recommend Zig to anyone looking for a detailed, pet portrait tattoo. Sign me up for another….I promise to sit more still next time”

“I was considering a few different artists from all over the country to tattoo a memorial pet portrait of my sweet German Shepherd who had recently passed. I had a good idea of the style I wanted and certain elements I wanted incorporated in this piece… and wow, Zig delivered!
I cannot even describe how incredible this tattoo looks, it’s absolutely unreal. He took the time to carefully and precisely give me the most beautiful portrait tattoo that honored my boy.
From start to finish, this was one of the best tattoo experiences I have ever had. Not only is Zig’s work phenomenal, but he was extremely friendly and accommodating throughout the whole process..”

“Matt has incredible skills and is highly professional from start to finish with excellent communication. I felt welcome the entire time during the session. I love working with someone with genuinely good vibes. He was very deliberate, methodical, and patient from A to Z. Applying the stencil was a bit time consuming, but he was intent on getting it right which I really appreciate! Cleanliness was always maintained too! Thanks so much for everything! All the stars.”

“Matt is awesome, I've wanted a tattoo of my dog ever since I met him and saw his portfolio. All his art is great, but his pet portraits are amazing, turned out exactly like I wanted.

“The amount of detail in Zig’s work is hard to even comprehend! He did an amazing realistic portrait of my dog and best friend that I lost earlier in the year. I was hesitant to get a tattoo of him as it is difficult to find someone able and willing to capture them accurately. Zig’s piece came out identical to the photo I provided him. He was very professional in making sure that the placement was perfect and that every line, shadow, and glint of the eye was captured. Will happily recommend him to anyone looking for a beautiful representation of their pet and anything else.”

“I had an incredible experience getting tattooed by Zig. We spent a long day working on a very fine, detailed piece, and his precision never wavered. The level of focus, skill, and control he brings to his craft is truly impressive — every line is intentional, clean, and beautifully executed. You can tell he takes immense pride in his artistry and refuses to rush perfection.
Beyond his talent, he was great company throughout the entire session — calm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to, which makes all the difference during a long sit. I walked away not only with a piece of art I’m proud to wear for life, but with a new friend as well. If you’re looking for someone who combines true artistic ability with meticulous technique and genuine character, he’s it. Thanks, Zig!.
