Salomon x Mela House Tattoo Community Event

Overview

Whether your wardrobe is all gorpcore, or you just appreciate good comfort when cruising the streets, Salomon has got a new partnership made for permanent self-expression. That's because the alpine-turned-fashion brand is teaming up with Richmond's Mela House for a one-day-only tattoo takeover.

Celebrating the brand's existing community — you need to be wearing your Salomons to get inked — you're invited to score a free flash tattoo from one of Mela House's talented artists. First in, first tattooed, minimalist designs up to four centimetres will find a home on your arms or legs, in black ink only.

Running from 11am–4pm on Sunday, March 1, this community experience is taken to greater heights with an on-site DJ alongside sangies by Mela House neighbour, Hugo's Deli. Consider it as a small thanks to those who made Salomon into the fashion powerhouse it is today — all without losing its hiking cred.

"Tattooing, for me, has always been about trust and connection. It's a shared moment that turns into something permanent, something lived in," says Mela House director Melanie Thorn. "I'm excited to build something with Salomon that feels honest, considered and true to the people at the centre of it."
