โMelissa Hagen creates such a comforting and welcoming environment โ not only for the LGBTQ community, but for everyone who walks through her door. Her fun personality and respectful professionalism turn what can be a vulnerable experience into something genuinely pleasant. This tattoo meant the world to me, and the moment I saw her work on social media, I knew I chose the right artist to bring my vision to life. Melissa executed it perfectly. A huge thank you and so much gratitude to Melissa โ
