At Summer Machelle Studios, the focus is on creating bespoke tattoos that reflect each client’s unique vision. Summer’s expertise lies in neo-traditional and illustrative styles, where she combines her fine art background in oil and watercolor painting with tattooing. Known for her ability to bring intricate details to life, Summer uses a variety of line weights and a soft color palette to create pieces that are both visually striking and artistically rich.
Summer’s journey into the tattoo world began at the age of 18, but her passion for art has been lifelong. With a foundation in traditional art mediums, Summer seamlessly transitioned into tattooing, bringing with her a depth of experience and creativity. Her participation in the 2023 Golden State Tattoo Expo, where she won 1st place in the “Small Color” category, highlights her dedication and skill. This award-winning piece, a charming peach preserve jar, is a testament to her ability to craft captivating and meaningful tattoos.

Located in Orange, CA, the studio offers a clean, comfortable, and private environment, ensuring a positive experience for every client. Summer’s approachable nature and commitment to excellence make her a favorite among clients, who appreciate her patience, attention to detail, and willingness to collaborate. Whether it’s a custom design, a flash piece, or a touch-up, Summer ensures that each tattoo is a masterpiece.
Summer is the best tattoo artist I’ve come across. Not only is her art beautiful, she is so hygienic (an absolute must) but also keeps her space clean and gives great aftercare and future care instructions. I love that it’s a private studio it’s great for anyone with sensory issues that can be triggered by loud shops. She’s is very considerate and easy to be around, she also had snacks when I was there!
