Melanie @melatattDirector/ Senior Artist
Melanie says,"I surround myself with things I enjoy everyday. Leaving my full-time job as a dental nurse was my main inspiration to become a full time tattoo artist.
As a kid I was always the creative one, I was always the one in class who spent too much time decorating my page rather than the task at hand. From a very young age I was sent to private art classes and worked with some amazing artists to refine my skills.

Georgia @georgietattsSenior Artist
After completing my bachelors degree in Fine Arts, I taught myself to tattoo while at university. I’ve always been drawn to the art of tattooing and creating art that can live on peoples bodies. I specialise in fine line and fine line micro-realism, but enjoy experimenting with all styles of tattooing.
I adore working and building relationships with my clients to give them exactly what they are after, and creating a piece we are both in love with.

Anastasiia @nastyaslesSenior Artist
I’m an artist with Ukrainian-Korean roots, born in Russia. From an early age, I’ve been travel a lot. People, architecture and art around me inspire my creativity. To me, tattoos are more than just ink on skin—they are a true expression of beauty and artistry. With 6 years of experience, I’ve developed my skills and refined my techniques. The entire process of creating a tattoo, from the first sketch to the final stroke, feels like a form of meditation.

After studying art, fine line & design at college. Having followed Melanie’s journey for several years in the UK , now getting the chance to train and work alongside her feels a very full circle moment for me. Bodies are a canvas to decorate in my eyes and the thought of my art work being on them for a lifetime is a very privileged feeling to me and I’m so excited to create art together.

Alyssa @inkdbylyssJunior Artist
Since I was young I’ve always been drawn to art whether it was painting, drawing, or doodling in my school books. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to channel this passion into creating meaningful and unique tattoos that represent one’s stories, memories, and personal style. It’s incredible that through a single design, we’re able to express who we are as individuals.

With her Nepali roots, Suvani grew up in Kathmandu, always drawn to artwork, finding excitement in drawing classes more than any other subjects as a kid in school. She specialises in designs with fine lines and lotta dots, aiming to give her clients tattoos that speak to them. For her, it's all about making sure the art she creates resonates with those who wear it. Outside of her work, she enjoys hoarding plants

Alice @bylittlealiceJunior Artist
Born and raised on the Mornington Peninsula, I have always been obsessed with every medium of art ranging from clay and pastels to all kinds of paint - I am fascinated by the weird and wonderful and consistently inspired by the tortured artists of the 1800’s including Van Gogh, Picasso and Goya. This is reflected in my abstract sticker-style designs featuring hatching and stipple shading.

Tèa @teatatts_Junior Artist
well I always had a creative bone in me and never embraced it until I was inspired to join Mel’s course. Leaving my corporate job was frightening, but pushed me outside my comfort zone to pursue what I truly loved most. What I love most about tattooing is the way of expressing oneself, like an accessory. Big or small, bold or quiet. Especially with Fineline work I believe it’s like delicate jewellery, adding subtle intricacy and refinement to help elevate the canvas of skin.

@maz_tattsJunior Artsist
"I don't know what my career will be but I know it will be creative and with any luck it will feel like I've never worked a day in my life." I have been so blessed to have been immersed in the arts, my whole life. From Music to Theatre to digital art to mixed media and now tattooing. I am so excited for this journey in Fine Line but also to explore many different styles to create wonderful art.
