Couldn't be happier with my cover-up tattoo! Matthew took something I was self-conscious about and completely transformed it into a piece of art I'm proud to show. The attention to detail, skill, and professionalism.
I loved my tattoo from Mr. International Tattoo so much that I went back and got another one. Thank you so much! Your designs and your work are awesome! People complement me on my tats all the time!
I had a tattoo for over 25 years that was covered up with t shirts when I went out having but regret for getting 2 many beers can leave marks on you though . So I'm happy to say that my cover up tattoo is not hidden but showed off everywhere I go with a smile when i see the look on people's faces that get to experience the expert artwork I now have for an arm most of them say damn bro that guy gets down!! and or I really like his shading which gives me good feelings to have chosen this artist to do my tattoo with the level of skill and talent he has Matt Haleis by far proven his abilities for me to return for more masterpieces to be tattooed on me as well as spreading the info to friendsand family members to get theirs done by him.
Just got home. So stoked on this tattoo man. Thank you so much for all the thought and effort you put into it and shoot me that new video when you get a chance 🤙🏼
