We are SO excited about the amazing ladies coming to guest spot in December! The staggeringly talented Dana Melissa Dixon will be at Icon December 5-9. Book an appointment now (seriously, RIGHT NOW before Icon people book all her time). For an appointment email her at danamelissa@gmail.com.

A little from the lovely lady about herself:

I grew up in Portland for the better part of two decades. In 2003, I graduated from Portland State University with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology. I continuued my education at The Art Institute of Portland for a year before choosing to relocate back to my family down south. My tattooing education originated in Austin, Texas and became fine tuned working in college towns and military bases in Texas and Florida over the past six years. Initially, my heart was directed towards art therapy and as my talents evolved over time, my career landed in tattooing. The permanence and the artwork are both something I find sacred.

She’s also putting together a book in collaboration with over 60 other lady tattooers; check it out at http://www.facebook.com/ladiesandink

Sooooo amazing!
Dorothy Lyczek is coming! She is especially taken with doing mandalas and portraits right now. Soooo pretty.

She’ll be here December 12-19; if you’d like to book an appointment with her, email her: dorothytattoos@gmail.com
A couple weeks ago Melanie got to do this cover-up on the lovely Jenna. In January when Melanie goes down to the bay area they’ll be finishing it…ouch!
A few photos from the convention!
