HEY! I’M MELISSA ALEXANDRA

I’m a tattoo artist from St. John’s, NL and I’ve been tattooing since 2018.While my main style influences are neo-traditional and realism, I pride myself on being a pretty versatile tattooer and I make it my priority to be open and adaptable to make your tattoo experience a collaborative one.In 2023, I opened my own studio so that I could fully cultivate the tattoo environment that I always dreamed of for myself and for my lovely clients. So now I tattoo out of a bright, beautiful private suite right next to the heart of downtown St. John’s, that I’m now proud to call Temperance Tattoo Studio.
It is a space that embodies my entire personality, and I love having the chance to share it with everyone that comes through.This studio is now a shared collaborate space, with one other artist. If you’d prefer the private studio vibes and would like to book an private appointment, please let me know and I can make arrangements!I want your tattoo experience to be safe, fun and comfortable from start to finish; whether that means coming down for a chat and a coffee to discuss your tattoo ideas, picking a piece of flash off the wall, or collaborating on a large scale piece, I’m open!If that sounds like something you want to be a part of, I’d love to meet you
