Mattink Tattoo

Mattink Tattoo is a realism-focused tattoo studio located in Nice, on the French Riviera. The artist behind it has more than sixteen years of experience and has completed over 10,000 tattoos, specializing in black & grey realism, color realism, fine line work, and cover-ups. Each piece is designed as a one-of-a-kind creation, built to suit the client's body and to age well over time rather than simply reproducing an image. The studio's black & grey work spans portraits, animals, film-inspired imagery, religious themes, and artistic compositions, while its color realism aims for natural tones and contrasts made to last.

Beyond technical skill, the approach centers on personalized, thoughtfully planned projects, including transforming old tattoos into new, harmonious pieces through cover-up work and delicate, precise fine line designs. The artist's work has been recognized at several international tattoo conventions, reflecting a career built on craftsmanship and consistency. Prospective clients can view a signature portfolio of Japanese sleeves, realistic portraits, and other custom pieces that showcase the studio's artistic range. Based in Nice, the studio welcomes new projects and consultations for those seeking a lasting, uniquely tailored realism tattoo.
