Following on in the series of
famous artists we have decided to bring your attention to an incredible artist
that you might recognise as a body shock customer. Johny D Matthews of
Rotherham is making a big name for himself in the tattoo industry and fast!
Johny didn’t set out to be an
award winning tattoo artist from the get-go, in fact he spent 5 years
completing a college course in architecture from the age of 16. After the
course Johny kept up with his artwork and drawings and it was the sharp eye of
tattoo artist Sosk that picked up on
Johny’s talent. Sosk went on to offer
Johny an apprenticeship for 18 months and changed Johny’s life for the better!
Johny has already managed to bag
himself some fantastic achievements in his time tattooing. These include winning
the best large black and grey tattoo at the Ink for Hero’s tattoo convention in
York in 2012. At the same convention his work also won him best tattoo of the
show and a nomination for the best newcomer to the tattoo industry for 2012.
Since then he has won more awards and at the annual Croydon Tattoo Show in 2013 he won the award for the best small black and grey tattoo! His small black and grey tattoos seem to be his forte as in 2014 he won the same award at the Tattoo Freeze convention, held in Telford.
If you want to get in touch with
Johny to book in for a tattoo at his studio in Rotherham you can find out more
and contact him through his website,
as well as see some more of his incredible work.
