Tattoo Spotlight: Alex Matus

Alex Matus is a traveling tattoo artist who is marking people with her stunning, dreamy, cosmic artwork as she makes her way around the continent in her van. Her inspiration is equal parts desert shaman and Judas Priest, making for a heady mix of psychedelic and raw power. She works mostly in black, but accents it with gorgeous and vibrant turquoise and red. Matus’ work is not just available in tattoo form, she also takes painting commissions and makes prints of her work. Follow her instagram @doc_matus and check out some of our recent favorites below…
