Ghis Melou, France

Something about me

I’m Ghis Melou, 38 years old from Montpellier (south of France).

I’m the owner of Half Wolf Tattoo, opened for 3 years.

I’m tattooing since 2009, and I specialize in Japanese and traditional styles. After having explored most styles of tattooing I realized I liked most big scale bold designs that really flow with the body.

I travelled in many countries and tattooed mostly in the UK (London and Bristol) and New Zealand (Auckland and Wellington as a guest).

I participated in tattoo conventions along my trip across UK, France, New Zealand, and Australia.

Today I’m a father of two and I’m happy to finally settle down and welcome my customers in my own studio, where I do mostly large-scale pieces.

I'm working at this studio

Half Wolf Tattoo (Montpellier, south of France) was opened 2017.

It’s located in a little street just off the city center.

You will find there Ghis Melou, Nicolas Broton and Jadix.

We sometimes have guest artists too.

We all have our own style and we are an easy-going team, all passionate about tattooing. The studio is spacious and usually people find it really clean with lots of things to look at (the walls are covered with artwork and even the ceiling in the tattooing area!).

My projects

I plan to hopefully have more time to do tattoo conventions again in the near future, I had only little time for it in the last two years and I miss meeting with other artists and the buzz of all the tattoo machines!
