Matt is the owner of Eternal Tattoo & Body Piercing He is both a Tattoo and Piercing Artist. He started tattooing in 1998 and was taught by his father, Ken Allsman, whom is now semi-retired and resides in Florida.
Matt's favorite style of work is Portraiture and Realism in general, though this doesn’t mean he doesn’t enjoy creating classic style tattoos and other styles of work also. His biggest inspirations begin right in his own shop, “Honestly If it weren’t for Dano, I may have never even attempted a Portrait..” but it wasnt just Dano that made such an impact on Matt, “every artist in the shop has inspired me in a big way..” he continued. His father is of course a big contributer to his success. Along with the people very close to him, other inspiring artists include Bob Tyrel, Nikko Hurtado, Joshua Carleton, and Mike Devries. The highly inspired tattoo artist himself is working his way to fame by attending various tattoo conventions. He has won various awards and has been published many times also. All awards Matt has won, have been for his talents in Portrait work. Other than tattooing, Matt's spare time involves hanging out with his 5 year old son, Logan, and playing in his band, Frequency. Matt and Logan enjoy going to the park, the movies, and the zoo but most of all, just plain hanging out.
