Hey! Iā€™m Melissa!

I have been tattooing in and around the San Francisco Bay Area since 2007. I love to create classically inspired, bold tattoos that can range from the whimsical to the macabre. I love tattooing a wide range of styles and subject matter, from floral and botanical designs, to animals and pet portraits as well as horror movie images, ornate lettering and classic pin up girls (or guys, or anyone in between!) My background in the veterinary medical field often shines through in my illustrative style, and inspiration can range from my collection of rare carnivorous plants to history books and traditional American tattoo designs. You can currently find me at Good Tattoo in Oakland CA.
