The owner Mel and coworker Mo in front of the studio<\/span><\/p>\n

Hello and Happy Thursday!\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to live your dream. Never ever give up. Keep\u00a0moving forward.\u201d \u2013 Mel<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I love tattoos and I consider myself as a heavily tattooed woman\/mother. Yep, other mothers look at me sometimes like \u201cWhaaaaat!! How can she do that? And she has a child!\u201d Well, my child is totally comfortably with whatever I have on my skin and he actually does not care. All he says is, \u201cMommy has tattoos, cool!\u201d If he ever decides, after he is 18 years-old\u00a0to get a tattoo, I won\u2019t mind. Simple and open-minded as that. I have been to many tattoo stores in my life to get \u00a0artwork done. However, there is only one tattoo store I love to go to and trust \u2013\u00a0Stick to your Skin Tattoo<\/em> owned by my long time friend Melanie Feist. If you want to get a tattoo but you are not sure where to go or what to get, read on and afterwards make an appointment with Mel or Mo.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stick to your Skin Tattoo<\/em> puts you at ease when you enter the studio. There is no pretense, it is just plain art; traditional style tattoo art at the walls that makes you comfortable. Also a bunch of books and Mel and Mo\u2019s portfolios to look through and see what artwork they have done and maybe what style of tattoo you would like to get. And as I made myself comfortable to take some pictures and sat down in a comfortable chair in the street-level front room\/reception area, I heard a light buzzing from the room next door. Mel tattoos; I cannot miss \u00a0this opportunity to take a couple of shots.<\/span><\/p>\n

Melanie Feist, 34 years-old, is the owner of Stick to Your Skin Tattoo in Coburg<\/em> and has been a tattoo artist for a decade. Stick to Your Skin Tattoo<\/em> is already her second tattoo store she opened three years ago. Drawing, sketching, painting,\u00a0especially Disney when she was younger, were always her passion. When it comes to her background, she always worked in artistic surroundings and started tattooing professionally after her son was born. She worked in a tattoo store to learn tattoo-art by drawing and practicing but slowly she realized that she just has it all down and was ready to open her own store. Now that she is a professional and store owner for several years she knows what to look for before hiring a tattoo artist to work in her studio. When Mo entered her store one year ago, she knew that he has talent. \u201cYou just know when looking at a portfolio if a person has talent or not. After he showed me some sketches, painting and artwork, he tattooed a piece on my leg and I knew, he is the one. He just got the special something.<\/em> \u201d Mel and Mo work together at Stick to Your Skin Tattoo, everyone has their own area to tattoo<\/em>\u00a0and she says that \u201che is someone who does not go on my nerves like most people after a while. He just does amazing work and we get along<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Three years ago Stick to Your Skin Tattoo<\/em> opened its doors and is known for its steady clientele, professionalism, ideas and uniqueness. With two tattoo artist working, the shop can handle a diverse set of techniques and styles. If you look through the portfolios you will find a plethora of traditional artwork that is just breathtaking. Mel and Mo are open to its clientele \u2013\u00a0open to their wishes and desires. They both work with their customers to get the best tattoos done.\u00a0\u00a0Mel stated that her work has gotten a lot better over the years and that she never stops learning new techniques to make the tattoos better and to improve. She also mentioned that Mo tells her what type of tattoos work really well and others that need a bit more work which helps Mel immensely. \u201cHe is a good critic,\u201d Mel said. Both just work great together \u2013 a unique, special team at Stick to Your Skin Tattoo<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mel and Mo are easy-going, approachable and great people. As I sat down to ask Mel a bunch of questions for this post and to chat, her tattoo machine was gliding along Mo\u2019s calf. Mel was in control the entire time and Mo was at ease in one way or another. \u201cMany clients come in and ask if it hurts to get a tattoo<\/em>,\u201d Mel said. \u201cWell, certain areas hurt more than others but it is all good. You want the tattoo done and look forward to it so much that most forget about the pain. We have our techniques to make it as comfortable as possible for our clients, \u201d <\/em>she further stated.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The tattoo studio is very clean and the artists work efficiently. You feel a comfortable vibe that you, as a client, are understood and respected as soon as you walk into the studio. Both artists work with you to make any tattoo you would like to get happen. \u201cWhen you talk to a client you get this initial connection that just gets more intimate when you tattoo somebody for a couple of hours. You really get to know the person when talking to them<\/em>, \u201d Mel says while the tattoo machine buzzes. Good tattoos take a considerable time to be prepared which will all be explained to the client in consolation. It is important to Mel, that the tattoo the client wants works for her, as well as for the client. There needs to be some common ground. Every tattoo is unique. Mel and Mo told me to make sure what you want to get tattooed \u2013 it will be on your skin most likely forever. Also verify what your two Chinese symbols stand for, before getting them tattooed. Does it mean \u201cPeace and Freedom<\/em>\u201d or more \u201cChicken sweet & sou<\/em>r\u201d? Do your research before and then meet with Mel or Mo before committing yourself to wear something for the rest of our life. \u00a0\u201cTrust is important,<\/em>\u201d says Mel who is inspired by the Tattoo Artist Shio Zaragoza and the Artist Salvador Dali<\/em>. Otherwise, life inspires her. \u201cThere is so much amazing stuff happening out there, every single day. We just have to open our eyes and see. Tattooing means freedom to me, self-realization as well as creativity. I usually carry a notebook with and when I see something amazing out there, I put it down \u2013 sketching or in words,<\/em> \u201cshe says, smiling, while she finishes Mo\u2019s tattoo. <\/span>\"IMG_3317\"<\/p>\n

Both artists have their respected areas of expertise. Mel loves to tattoo with colors, but she is also specialized in black and grey tattoos. Old school, comic-style, just ask them when you have a consultation. \u00a0\u201cColor tattoos are just a lot of fun to do<\/em>, \u201d Mel stated. It usually works through a word-of-mouth reputation if a tattoo studio is good and if the work the artists do is awesome. This is the old-fashioned way. However, what Mel and Mo dislike about the tattoo world are hate among\u00a0tattoo studios and artists. There is a lot of jealous and no sympathy for other artists and their studios. Some tattoo artists go even so far as badmouthing other studios \u2013 or spreading negative feedback. I never knew this. I always thought tattoo artists stick together, learn from each other and whatnot. But I guess, you better Stick to Your Skin\u00a0<\/em>and get a Tattoo with Mel and Mo. You won\u2019t be disappointed. Great artwork guaranteed. This post can also be found on TripAdvisor<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. Enjoy!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
