Meet Matt.

Matthew Lukesh is about to begin his 23rd year as a tattoo artist. In that expanse of time he’s studied all styles of tattooing without choosing to specialize in any particular one however, since 2019, Matt has solely been focusing on his black and grey work to grow beyond a “jack of all trades”. He prefers tattooing realism, whether it be wildlife, horror or portraiture, but doesn’t limit himself to these subjects. When the opportunity arises, Matthew spends his “free time” oil painting; a medium he’s been studying diligently for the past thirteen years. Having moved from New Jersey to Iowa, Matthew is bringing his skills and knowledge to assist the amazing team at the Platinum Rose Studio.

Lauren Says

Just got a new tattoo with Matt. Spent 6 hours in the chair and couldn’t be happier with the result! He was able to create a design that worked with a previous tattoo and killed it! Highly recommend Platinum Rose Studio to anyone looking for a first time or an additional tattoo! Amazing artists, and always a welcoming atmosphere!
