MATIX PRESENTS SID'S TATOO SERIES

11 Apr 2008

To most, the name Sid Stankovits is unknown. Unless of course, you've been tattooed by Sid, whose American Traditional-era tattoo work has become famous worldwide.

He grew up in Southern California, skating through out the 80's with good friend and fellow G&S rider Neil Blender. Sid also recalls a day that he will never forget, when Neil gave him personal advice - "Do everything you do for fun, not for money". That was the day Sid realized to hold true to your dreams and to follow your heart doing what ever it was in life that inspired you the most. For Sid, it wasn't a career in skateboarding. It was his love of all things ink based... Sid continues to hold true to this wisdom to this day in time.

Although Sid calls his tattoo parlor in Santa Ana, California home, Sid can rightfully list Tokyo, Japan as his informal second home, as his international clientele has been building phenomenally over the past 15 years of tattooing. Keep it going, Sid!!
