MATT CRARY     

A man with a beard and tattoos sitting in a tattoo studio, surrounded by tattoo art and supplies, in black and white.

Originally from the lakefront town of Cleveland, Ohio, Matt Crary has been tattooing for 13 years, and has been with Trader Bob’s for five. He specializes in American traditional, black & gray, and fine line tattooing. Matt also enjoys bringing your unique tattoo ideas to life. He would love to do more Japanese inspired work and Polynesian tribal designs. 

Matt is a motorcycle enthusiast, loves the outdoors – particularly in the fall and winter, and enjoys spending his down time with his two dogs and cat (Joanie, Charli, and Kiki).

Matt is on an appointment only schedule, Wednesdays through Sundays. Please reach out to him via text (314-940-3050) or email (mattcrarytattooer@gmail.com) to book an appointment.
