Mel

“Growing up with a passion for art and music, he decided to
make his first passion his job and learned how to become a tattoo artist “

Mel is a big-job specialist at ALL DAY Tattoo Bangkok. Full back pieces, chest pieces across both pectorals, multi-session sleeves, he handles large-scale work with the kind of confidence that comes from a fine arts background. His primary strengths are realism in both black and grey and colour, with neo-traditional, Sak Yant, old school, and freehand compositions rounding out the range.

Thai mythological subjects appear regularly – garuda, yaksha, naga serpents, goddesses with lotus motifs. What you won’t find are many minimalist, fine line, or geometric pieces. Mel works big, and that’s where the work sings.

Born in Kalasin and raised in Nonthaburi, Mel has been drawing since childhood and tattooing for over a decade. He studied fine arts, which shows in his compositional instincts. Outside the studio, he plays football, paints, collects sneakers, and games. A quiet, humble presence with loud work.
