the artist

I’m Melise Hill. I’m the owner and artist at Yellow Phog Studio in Detroit, Michigan. I specialize in full colour, illustrative tattooing. My work often features women’s faces and elements of nature in a style heavily influenced by the movement and composition of Art Nouveau. My background began in Fine Arts, studying painting and drawing before I began my career as a tattoo artist in 2012. I work by appointment only, so please read the information section of my website before submitting an inquiry. Signing up for the mailing list is the only way to receive updates about booking with me.

the studio

The studio is located in the historic Bagley Mansion in Detroit, Michigan. It is a private, upper level location that cannot be accessed by the public. I am currently the only artist, but welcome guests when I can. If you are an artist interested in doing a guest spot, please send an email.
