Matt is 110% a scammer and will give you a run for your money then make it seem like your fault. Finding out a little too late that He’s well known in the city for stealing from people. Do your research! He claims to be a storyteller and that is the only true thing that has come out of his mouth. 1k gone And left feeling helpless as he won’t make it right. I hate that one star is an option because he doesn’t even deserve that. Beware!

Matt Clemmer will be 2 hours late every session, then spend another 2 hours talking to other people minimum while you wait. He then charges you for the hours he wasn’t there and the hours he hadn’t even sat down in your vicinity to work on youYou’ll get about 3-4 hours of actual tattooing done but be charged 3k for a full 8 hours. In those 3-4 hours, he tattoos 1/4 the amount any other artist of equal or better caliber.The man will milk you for every cent he can get out of you and he lies non stop. He will tell the same story more than once and it’ll be totally different each time.And he’s a creep on a variety of levelsHe has a very bad reputation for a reason. Dig into him. Based on other reviews, I’m not the only one he does this to.3 sessions, same deal every time. Beware

Matt did an amazing tattoo on me. He took something Ive been dreaming about for years and turned it into reality. It turned out so much better than I could have imagined.

Paul and team were fantastic! My son got his first tattoo and they were so helpful and patient with design! I also got a beautiful Celtic knotwork piece from Paul, I highly recommend!

Me and my boyfriend went to go see Paul at aisle 9! He did an outstanding job. I was so nervous since it’s my first tattoo and he was so encouraging and comforting the whole time, and made it the most exciting experience. I wanted something pretty dainty and was worried it would turn out to bold, he did a fine line tattoo and came out absolutely perfect. He even fixed an old stick and poke from my earlier days lol. My boyfriends had a couple big tattoos and he’ll only be coming back to Paul now! Great guy and so laid back and easy to talk to. Insanely talented

I scheduled a consultation with Preston to have my first tattoo done. It was a medium sized piece on my forearm. The consultation went well and I explained as this was my first tattoo and I had a specific custom design in mind, I wanted to see the design ahead of time and work to get the product I want. I also clearly stated I was willing to pay for additional drawing time. I schedule an appointment to have the tattoo done 2 weeks out, so there would be time for this process. I hadn't heard anything 3 days before the appointment, and due to the 48hr cancellation policy I wanted to understand where we were in the process. I sent Preston a text which he did not respond to. Finally, I called Preston 2 days before my appointment. He was extremely defensive and interrupted me on multiple occasions. I understand Preston has other clients and priorities, but I was explicit in my expectations which he said he would be able to meet. I was willing to talk about rescheduling after I had seen a design, but I was abruptly told he would be sending me my money back after I told him that I allowed him to speak and would like him to extend me the same courtesy. Extremely disappointing in both the communication and customer service. I did receive my deposit back, so I will credit a second star for that.

I worked at this studio for over a year, and my experience was extremely disappointing. Communication from management started out fair but quickly declined, eventually ceasing entirely. This created a tense, uncomfortable, and unprofessional work environment.The culture was toxic. I raised multiple concerns about inappropriate behavior from another employee — including subtle sexual remarks and boundary-crossing comments — and these concerns were repeatedly ignored. Staff comfort and professionalism were clearly not priorities.Favoritism and unequal work distribution were rampant, creating division among artists and apprentices.Another major concern was the owner’s business practices. Sessions were consistently priced at $2,000, which is unusually high compared to industry standards. He often had clients arrive extremely early, around 10 a.m., only to spend hours stenciling or performing minimal work, keeping them until late at night (9–12 p.m.) while taking multiple breaks, walking around, and making unrelated calls. He also used self-righteousness and “trust-building” language to encourage clients to pay, and multiple clients — including at least one pursuing legal action — have claimed to be ignored after paying large deposits without receiving services.I also witnessed unsafe and unprofessional behavior. The owner used a THC vape during client sessions and even fell from his chair one evening. The studio itself was poorly maintained: the concrete floor was never sealed, and dust was a constant issue, posing real hygiene risks that were never addressed during my time there.Overall, this was an unhealthy, unethical, and unsafe work environment. Anyone considering employment or booking a session should proceed with extreme caution and research carefully.
