Mel has been tattooing for seven years, working across neo-traditional, traditional and new school styles with a love for bold, colourful and illustrative tattooing.

Some of her favourite subjects include botanicals, animals, creatures and pin-up girls, and she's particularly keen to take on more large-scale projects where she can really develop these ideas into bigger, more detailed pieces.

One of Mel's biggest strengths is the experience she creates for her clients. She's naturally warm and easygoing, and always does her best to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome throughout the tattooing process. It's something her clients really appreciate, with many returning to work with her again and again.

Outside of tattooing, Mel enjoys working out, hiking and settling into a good jigsaw puzzle.
