Matt Beatdown Ziolko
Matt Ziolko was born and raised on Chicago’s Northwest side. After getting tattooed for several years, he began tattooing in 2004. While Matt enjoys traditional American designs, he likes to tattoo in several other styles as well. You can find him by request or by accident, and he’s always down to talk baseball or Iron Maiden. Known by everyone and liked by all, he is available for appointments and walk-ins on Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and walk-ins only every other Saturday.
