Orangeburg's Studio for Custom Art
Every piece at Mathew's 2nd to None Tattoos is crafted from scratch — no templates, no shortcuts. Just honest conversation, a clean studio, and an artist who cares about the work as much as you do.
About Us
Mathew's 2nd to None Tattoos was built on a simple idea: every person who walks through our door deserves art that actually means something to them. That means no clip-art, no copy-paste designs, and no rushing through a session.
Located on Shillings Bridge Road in Orangeburg, our studio is a calm, welcoming space where you can take your time. Whether it's your first tattoo or your fifth, we'll talk through the concept, the placement, the size — and we won't stop until it's right.
We believe a great tattoo isn't just something you see. It's something you feel every time you look at it. That's the standard we hold ourselves to, and it's the reason clients keep coming back.
What We Offer
Every session starts with a conversation. Tell us what you envision, and we'll help shape it into something you'll be proud to carry.
Every piece is drawn from scratch based on your ideas, your story, and your vision. No templates — just original art made for your skin.
Nervous about your first tattoo? We take the time to walk you through everything — placement, pain, aftercare — so you feel confident from start to finish.
Turn an old or faded piece into something fresh. We work with existing tattoos to create new art that tells a better story.
Not sure what you want yet? That's okay. Come in for a free chat — we'll help you figure out the concept, size, and placement before anything else.
Our Work
Each tattoo is a one-of-a-kind design, drawn specifically for the person who wears it. Here's a glimpse of what happens when art and intention meet.
Client Words
I was really nervous about getting my first tattoo, but Mathew made me feel completely at ease. The design was exactly what I had in my head — maybe even better. I couldn't be happier with the result.
Had a cover-up done and it completely transformed an old mistake into something I love. The attention to detail is unmatched, and the studio is super clean and comfortable.
What sets this place apart is the care. Mathew actually listens, sketches things out, and makes sure you're happy before he even starts. It's rare to find that kind of dedication.
