My name is Melinda, and I am sharing an account with my partner Val.

I am twenty one. I grew up in Seattle, and moved to Pittsburgh when I was 18 after completing a two year degree at Bellevue College while simultaneously completing my GED. I left the dead end job I was working at the time when the opportunity arose to accompany Val as a travelling tattooist, and I couldn't be happier.

Val grew up in St. Cloud, MN. He has been a professional tattooist for some years now, and has a background in graphic design. Before tattooing, he was in a band for a few years. Despite things not working out, he is still extremely passionate about music and continues to blow people's minds whenever he picks up a guitar. You can see some of his tattoos on Instagram @vkollwitz.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

Adventures! Val and I love drawing, painting, exploring, experiencing and making music, cooking great food, playing tag, rock climbing, swimming, fantastic conversation, and star gazing. Among other awesome things. And we love sharing these with friends, whether we have known them for years, or only a few hours.
