A little about me

My name is Melissa Downs, but most people know me as Mel! I've been proudly tattooing at 1881 Tattoo Company in Belgrade, MT for over a year, with occasional guest spots in my hometown of Jordan, Montana. Becoming a tattoo artist has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember—combining my love for art with the joy of bringing people's visions to life.

When I'm not in the studio, you'll find me painting, hiking, hunting, or soaking up everything this beautiful state has to offer. I'd love the chance to work with you and create something truly special.
