MATT CURZON IS AN AUSTRALIAN TATTOO ARTIST WORKING OUT OF CALGARY, ALBERTA. ORIGINALLY FROM A SMALL TOWN IN COUNTRY VICTORIA, HE BEGAN HIS TATTOO JOURNEY BY FREQUENTING THE NEAREST STREET SHOPS IN THE EASTERN SUBURBS OF MELBOURNE. AFTER ENDURING AN OLD SCHOOL APPRENTICESHIP, HE CONTINUED TO QUIETLY DEVELOP HIS ALL-ROUND CRAFT AS A TATTOOER IN THE YARRA VALLEY BEFORE EMBRACING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL. A DUAL CITIZEN OF FINLAND, CURZON EMBARKED ON AN NOMADIC STINT TATTOOING ACROSS THE U.K. AND EUROPE, BEFORE RETURNING HOME TO MELBOURNE AS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE PRIVATE STUDIO ‘EMPIRE'.

 

FAST FORWARD FIVE YEARS AND WITH ‘EMPIRE’ NOW ESTABLISHED AS ONE OF THE PREMIER STUDIOS IN AUSTRALIA, CURZON HAS PURSUED A NEW CHALLENGE AND VENTURED TO CANADA FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER IN HIS TATTOO CAREER. YOU CAN FIND HIM WORKING AT ‘THE BRINDLE ROOM’ IN DOWNTOWN CALGARY, AS WELL AS TRAVELLING FAR AND WIDE FOR VARIOUS GUEST SPOTS AND CONVENTIONS. 

 

ONE OF THE MORE UNIQUE ARTISTS IN THE CURRENT TATTOO SCENE, MATT’S SIGNATURE STYLE COMBINES TRADITIONAL THEMES, HEAVY CONTRAST, CLEAN LINES AND SOLID COLOUR SATURATION TO CREATE POWERFUL, DYNAMIC TATTOOS THAT STAND THE TEST OF TIME. WHILE HIS DISTINCT AND RECOGNISABLE AESTHETIC IS NOTABLE, CURZON IS CONSIDERED A PIONEER OF THE NEO-TRADITIONAL GENRE. HIS TATTOOS HAVE WON COUNTLESS AWARDS AT TATTOO CONVENTIONS WORLDWIDE, AND RECEIVED ACCLAIM FOR THEIR ORIGINALITY, VISUAL IMPACT AND TECHNICAL PROWESS.

 

NOW A 10-YEAR VETERAN, MATT IS REGARDED AS ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKING AND MOST ACTIVE TRAVELLING ARTISTS IN THE WORLD. FOREVER DEDICATED TO HIS CRAFT, HE CONTINUES TO LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST QUALITY TATTOOS FOR HIS DEDICATED CLIENTS - ALL WITH A SPLASH OF CHARISMA AND GOOD TIMES ALONG THE WAY.
