MEET THE FOUNDER & artist

I'm 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.

Now What?

The details between booking and your appointment.

1. Confirmation- I review your inquiry form to ensure I am the artist for you. Once I confirm, you get an instant notification for consent form and pre care.

2. Design process- Your inquiry form is my roadmap, so don’t be afraid to share all the details

— what you love, what you don’t, placement, size, and any inspo.

For script, font-based tattoos, and flash designs, we’ll review sizing, placement, and final details together the day of your appointment before we start.

For fully custom pieces, a proof may be sent within 48 hours of your appointment so there’s time for small adjustments if needed.

3. Follow your pre-care and arrive ready — you’ll be guided through the process from start to finish. 💌

natural-looking nano brows

subtle details with intention

Who is this NOT for?

bold traditional tattoos

walk-in style appointments
