Matías
Matías is a resident artist at Black Hat Dublin, specializing in black and grey realism built on more than 10 years of experience. His work draws on realism, surrealism, and classical art, a combination that gives his pieces a striking, almost painterly depth rarely seen on skin.
That classical influence shows in his precision. Matías approaches every tattoo the way a fine artist approaches a canvas: careful composition, controlled shading, and an eye for the small details that separate a good realistic piece from a truly convincing one. The surrealist thread running through his work adds another dimension, letting him bend reality just enough to make a piece feel unexpected without losing its technical integrity.
At the core of his approach is a commitment to originality. Matías develops one-of-a-kind pieces tailored to each client, taking the time to understand an idea fully before transforming it into a tattoo with its own distinctive identity. That process stays consistent whatever the scale, whether he's building a full sleeve as a cohesive visual narrative or crafting a single standalone piece with the same meticulous attention.
Every stage of his work, from initial design through to the final session, is handled with a level of craftsmanship that reflects his years of experience. For anyone looking for black and grey realism with real depth and artistic weight behind it, Matías is exactly the artist to talk to.
