Private Studio
Inkspirations Tattoo is a private, appointment-only studio focused on delivering a truly personal tattoo experience.
With over 20 years of experience and a career that spans across Japan, Thailand, Canada, and the United States, Melissa Louie brings a unique global perspective to every piece she creates. Much of her artistic journey was shaped in Japan, influencing her attention to detail, design flow, and overall approach to tattooing.
Each client is treated with care from the initial consultation to the final tattoo. Whether it's a small, meaningful piece or a larger custom design, the goal is always the same — to ensure every client leaves with a tattoo they truly love.

Tattoo Artist
Tattooing has given me the opportunity to combine my love of art, nature, and creativity into a career I genuinely enjoy.
I specialize in black and grey, neo-traditional, ornamental, and nature inspired tattoos. I especially love tattooing animals, birds, florals, and wildlife, but I enjoy creating all kinds of custom pieces and bringing new ideas to life.
I really enjoy working with clients to create something unique to them. Whether you have a fully planned-out idea or a collection of screenshots and a dream, I’m here for it.
When I’m not in the studio, you can usually find me outdoors with my family, tending to my garden, or spending time with my animals.
Tattoo Artist
I’m a lifelong artist who has explored various mediums, including painting, drawing, and more. For nearly three years, I’ve been a tattoo artist, and I relish working in all styles.
I particularly enjoy creating blackwork, floral designs, and intricate fine line art.
My ultimate goal is to specialize in color realism and realism. To achieve this, I’ve actively participated in numerous courses, classes, and seminars to hone my craft. Tattooing is not just a hobby for me; it’s my passion and profession.
I’m thrilled to embark on this new journey at Inkspirations, where I can bring your tattoo ideas to life.
