ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

The time has come for me to make some big life changes, tattooing has always been my passion and my priority but since these little people came into my life that has shifted!

I’m changing my work schedule to allow more time to spend with my family and having a set dedicated week per month just for work.

I will still be working @hotcopperstudio but now just one week a month. Nothing much will change for my regular clients, I’ll still have plenty of time to take on new ones too.

I will be working full time until early August so send through your ideas and we can get you booked in! Thanks so much to all my beautiful clients for being there for me during the wonderful journey of motherhood!

Do you need a tattoo fixed, finished or covered up!? I actually love doing them. I find it so satisfying to find solutions and bring these old tats back to life. Send me an email with your renovation projects and we can work out your options and plan something magical! @hotcopperstudio

Hello! Our beautiful family home will be for lease in August. It’s 3bed with a big yard double garage in a cul-de-sac in Campbellfield.

If you know anyone looking for a nice quiet place to live right near a huge nature reserve with Kangaroos and wombats close by then tell them to DM me.

Finished back tattoo for Nick. Thank you so very much to Nick for literally being the best client. Nick came to me with a basic concept and gave me free rein with design and colors. He came in for regular sessions and laid there like a dead body. You Rule Nick! Done in 6 sessions, around 25 hours.

If you’d also like to get a super fun backpiece like this, I’d love to hear your ideas! Email me at Melaniemilne.tattoos@gmail.com
