Stephanie Melbourne is one of the three owners of The Church Tattoo and a hugely respected artist known for her versatility, precision, and ridiculously clean linework. Whether she's working on bold neo traditional pieces, delicate fine line tattoos, or branching into completely different styles, Steph approaches every tattoo with the same level of care, consistency, and technical attention that has made her one of the standout artists within the studio.

While many artists naturally settle into one lane, Steph has built a reputation for being able to adapt across multiple styles without sacrificing quality. Her neo traditional work carries strong composition, smooth colour packing, and elegant flow, while her finer work remains crisp, balanced, and incredibly refined. No matter the scale or style of the tattoo, one thing people consistently mention is just how clean her work is. Her linework has become something of a trademark within the studio — precise, deliberate, and solid enough to make other artists slightly jealous.

Alongside her technical ability, Steph is known for being one of the kindest and most thoughtful people around the studio. She brings a calm and genuine energy to both clients and the team around her, creating an environment where people instantly feel comfortable. That care naturally carries into her tattooing too, with every project approached thoughtfully and collaboratively to ensure clients leave with something they are genuinely proud to wear.

Outside of tattooing, Steph's creativity never really switches off. When she isn't tattooing, she's usually painting, drawing, or working on artwork in one form or another, constantly pushing herself creatively beyond the walls of the studio. Alongside all of that, she's also raising two young boys who are widely regarded around the studio as absolute little legends — a reflection of the same warmth, patience, and kindness she brings into everything she does.

Combining versatility, technical precision, and genuine care for both her craft and the people around her, Steph has become a huge part of the identity and atmosphere of The Church Tattoo.
