And NOW we’re getting into the recent stuff! Working against the grain to get the whole tattoo pictured but it is what it is

Absolutely adore doing this inkbrush-like, somewhat Okami-inspired style, it’s so dynamic and gives me so much to work with! (I really should play Okami…)

But I digress, always love the chance to put my own spin on such a nostalgic scene! And featuring some of my fave Pokémon too? We livin’ the life

MELBOURNE! You know I can never stay away for long✨

I’ll be at the @australiatattooexpo with a lot of the @infiniteworldstattoo crew this December! And once again, I’d love to look at doing a competition piece or two 💕 I’d got some flash I’d love to do, but I do love drawing up your wonderful ideas too!

I’ve got an interest form linked in my bio. A full day rate is $1000 for a custom piece! So if you’d got a tattoo idea you’d love me to bring to life, fill that out and I’ll get in touch!

Keep an eye out for smaller general flash I’ll have available on the day, and I’ll also have some merch available for sale too.

Always love me a good expo, I’ll see you there!

@mattebat_tatts of @infiniteworldstattoo is heading to the Australian Tattoo Expo Melbourne 2026.

Adelaide artist Avery, aka Matte Bat, has been tattooing for almost four years, bringing a passion for bright colour, expressive characters and bold lines. Character designs and pin-ups are the favourites, a nod to their roots in TTRPG art.

Wraps around curse me with the reminder that while my tattoos look bangin’, I am a god awful photographer.

BUT ANYWAY! This Hollow Knight piece was a two day endeavour, with most of the blackwork healed for these photos! A phenomenal challenge to put together a design that loops in a satisfying way, and what better game series to honour with such a piece. An immense amount of trust was put to me for this one, and I am SO stoked with the result!

And it also serves as a reminder for me to get up off my butt and actually finish the game, lmao (I got to the final boss then got distracted by the Coliseum of Fools)

(+ timelapse to show that I am, as always, staunchly anti-genAI, and draw all my pieces from scratch)

I don’t usually upload works in progress but this one is too cool not to share. Chipping away at a big Jinx/Arcane piece for @curly.lawson.designs. For those that don’t know, he’s been a wonderful and consistently reliable helper at the studio, offering his aid at events like AvCon, or at our flash days! So this project has become a way to say thank you (though it may not feel that way in the moment, BRUTAL placement, lmao)

Super keen to keep working at this, and post updates so y’all can watch it come together! Definitely one of my most ambitious projects, so thank you so much for the trust!

Once again I fall prey to not being able to edit photos together, but this isn’t my worst at least!

Another piece from the fangan series @deceptionexamination 💪
It genuinely warms my heart to see that a fan made series like this has had such an effect on people that they would get the art from in as a tattoo! And as an added bonus, I was allowed to try something a little different in the glitter effects and such. I’ve discovered quite a love for it so please hit me up with those glitter ideas!

For these photos, the lines and some of the colour are healed, with much of the colour (particularly the glitter elements) are fresh! Please forgive the bloodiness!
Perhaps after a nice touch up session to get them looking their best, I’ll snag a photo of both pieces next to each other!

Something a little different, but still with the iconic spider lilies for some ✨Anime Flair ✨

Lovely to design something that flatters the shape of the body so well! Love working around the shoulder/shoulder blade! ☺️

FLASH FRIDAY! Though I’m being cheeky with this one, as it’s for the @infiniteworldstattoo Halloween Flash Day on the 24th!

I also have some repeatable bat designs available (go check the IW page!), and there’ll be general flash available for a spooky $66.6! But I’m Super keen to do these so I’m posting them again. They are one offs and I will NOT be taking bookings! So it’ll be first in, best dressed, so get in early! Anything not scooped up will be available later, but not at these prices!

Also while the flash day itself will go until late, I’m only available until 5pm. I’ve got a movie date with Wildwood and I REFUSE to miss it I am very sorry. But anyone that misses out on my designs because of this, reach out and I’ll happily book you in at flash day prices!

I have no quote from Witch Hat Atelier to open the post with, it’s an anime/manga I’ve been meaning to get into for the longest time but have simply not set aside the time for. This is a heinous crime, I am aware. I am sorry and will do better.

BUT! The Snugstone does make for an excellent first tattoo! And I’m always down for some manga-style pieces. The chance to imitate some screen-tone effects? Ideal. Beautiful. Love it.

I’m so full from Night Sky aesthetics, yum

Another commission! Caught at an excellent time where I was very much all in on illustrating fun lighting and more daring perspectives. Another piece for the Girl By Moonlight campaign that regularly do art for! Need to put together a gallery at this stage, lmao
