Look Good, Feel Great

Hello, my name is Melanie Morreale. I attended art school in 1992, majoring in graphic art. Some of the things I loved were color theory, photography and illustration. I started my tattooing apprenticeship while in school and began working full time as an artistic tattoo artist right after college.

In 2000, I opened Rite of Passage in Victor, NY and have been doing my artistic tattooing ever since. I love what I do and that I get to know so many colorful clients. Beginning in 2002, I started doing medically supervised work such as permanent make up, camouflage, and corrective tattooing. I have found that this has been some of my most rewarding work. It has been a great pleasure to work with patients. I enjoy my areola work the most due to the dramatic difference in appearance and the importance of the procedure. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to feel like I may possibly make a difference for these women. I look forward to working with Vega Plastic Surgery as their tattoo artist and am happy to join their team.
