Melissa Fusco was born in Nutley New Jersey in 1976. Studying art, music and dance for most of her life until attending college where she earned her Bachelors of Fine Art Degree from Western State College of Colorado. Following graduation in 2001 Melissa moved to southern Florida. While living and working in Jensen Beach FL, she was on a hunt for a tattoo artist to help her create her next piece. Tattoos were always an interest of hers since she was a teenager. Melissa was introduced to local artist Roger Pearson and fellow crew of Ink Link Tattoos. When meeting up with Pearson, she never imagined he would introduce her to a medium of art where the skin would be her canvas.  Roger took her under his wing in the late 2003 as an apprentice. With the introduction of tattoo/skin art she would be doing more art work then ever and tattooing would change the way she drew and painted forever. Melissa believes the more mediums of art you work with, the better over all artist you will become. Whether its totally imaginative or realistic, making a drawing form to ones skin would be her most difficult art form yet. After a year and a half working under Roger Pearson and with help of fellow artist Isaac Davis– Melissa then moved to Arizona to carry all she learned and make it as an artist on a new coast. Melis worked at Club Tattoo in Tempe AZ from 2005-June 2009, and visits as a guest artist often. Currently you can find her  settling down at GodSpeed Tattoos in Breckenridge CO for the winter. Check back often for up dates and events! Also check out the Links section and you’ll find yourself being introduced to what is influential in Melissa’s life, from artist, to destinations and music…

.. its a fun journey!

Prick Mag March 2009
Melissa Fusco has been tattooing for six years, and has been with Club Tattoo since the Summer of 2005. She says, “I started tattooing later then most. I gained an interest in tattooing around the age of twenty-six. I apprenticed out of Ink Link Tattoos in south Florida. Tattooing to me was a medium of artwork that seemed to be the ultimate canvas, and continues to be the most challenging and intriguing. I am surrounded by great artists, there are about twenty-seven of us between the four shops, and we’re still growing! Outside of tattooing, snowboarding is a passion and painting, acrylic and primarily oils. I’ve been painting for over fifteen years now. I feel my art, no matter what medium, reflects many different influences: artist such as O’Keeffe, Klimt, Dali, Picasso, Ansel Adams, Audrey Kawasaki, and Camille Rose Garcia, to name a few. Ultimately I feel my clients are my biggest influences in tattooing. It’s their ideas that I have to portray, and I just do my thing within their vision.”
