Meet Melissa

Single needle specialist. Floridan, mom of two and lone wolf at Shade & Stencil.

I built Shade and Stencil to create a space that reflects the Intricate and dainty ink created—done with precision (and a little iced coffee).

I’m here to prove ink doesn’t have to be bold to make an impact. Soft vibes, crisp lines, and details that say, I got you.
