  • "I had a fantastic time getting my tattoo. Melanie made me feel so comfortable during our long session, and expertly brought my vision to life. I am beyond impressed. 10/10 would recommend!"

    -Savannah Tylar Wilson

  • "I cannot recommend Melanie enough. Her design was beautiful and captured all the elements I wanted. She spent time ensuring it was placed in the best spot, taking into account how the skin and tattoo would stretch move with varying movements. She worked efficiently, but made sure to take the time to ensure the tattoo was done meticulously - she even stayed late so we could finish it in one sitting. I couldn’t be happier with the end result!"

    -Jacqueline Furnari

  • “Mel’s work is fantastic - I’m so happy with my new ink. The shop was cozy and clean and everyone there was kind and welcoming. Great vibe!"
