Melissa fusco, born in New Jersey December 24, 1976. Achieved Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Western State College in Colorado. Started tattooing in 2003. I have worked national and internationally. I love to travel and enjoy being active outdoors especially snowboarding and mountain biking. I opened my own studio in Evergreen Colorado September 2014, Black Sage Studio. I specialize in nature tattoos, animals above ground and under the sea. I am known for my gradations and color, but I also enjoy throwing down some mean blackwork, black/gray. I do not rework other artist work. I do not fixup other artist work. I will conceder helping with a coverup but need to see it first before making that choice. I have my travel dates up for 2015 on my website, missmelis.com ... please take a look and see where our paths may cross if you feel you wish to collect a piece of art from me!
