MATT
PHELAN

Hey, I’m Matt—Christian tattoo artist with 20+ years of experience, based in San Diego.

Husband of 15 years, dad to Wesley & Merrick, and dog dad to Rusty & Archy 

I’ve loved American Traditional since I was 15, and I also enjoy doing black & grey fine line work.

My wife and I opened Vessel Tattoo in 2018, and we’re now excited to be in La Mesa Village connecting with the community.

When I’m not tattooing, I’m usually surfing, camping, fishing, or spending time in the ocean and mountains.

If you’d like to get tattooed, feel free to send me a DM—would love to meet you!
