Melissa Marie Green queen arm tattoo

Melissa added the first large piece to sleeve in August 2013, though she didn’t have it colored until much later. It’s a queen of hearts playing card with a rose at the bottom, outlined by Jesse Mora. She writes: “started outlining my sleeve. my take on “all hail the heartbreaker.” so many meanings behind this tattoo, you have no idea. I love it. thanks @tat2jesse.”

Artist Mikey Tedesco took over the coloring of the tattoo, beginning with the rose at the bottom in January 2014. He redid the black outline making it thicker and colored in the rose with red ink, using blue and yellow on the underside of the petals for contrast. He writes “Did not start this piece but redoing it all started with the rose :)” He completed the coloring of the queen of hearts at a separate session in February 2014.

Melanie Martinez

Melanie Martinez got her first two tattoos in one session in July 2014 with artist Lauren Winzer. The larger of the two is a colorful pastel carousel horse on her left forearm. Melanie has said that she loved carousels as a child. One of her first singles was the song “Carousel” in which uses a carousel as a metaphor for a relationship which is stuck going in circles.  The tattoo isn’t specifically a reference to the song, but rather both are a reflection of the same aesthetic. “There are certain [tattoos] that mean different things. I loved carousels since I was little, but that’s also why I wanted to write a song called Carousel, so everything in my life kind of fits together,” she told Now 105.
