That's life.

A tattoo studio, a training school, and the editorial home of Meshi the Blonde — three disciplines under one roof, in the heart of Herzliya.
Tattoo Club is built on three pillars — the working studio, the school that trains the next generation, and Meshi's editorial voice. Each has its own language, its own rhythm, its own room.
A working tattoo studio in Herzliya. Fine-line, blackwork, illustrative, and editorial tattoos by appointment. Hygiene-certified, single-use materials, private rooms.
A structured curriculum from first needle to professional practice. Three levels, numbered steps, real models, and a portfolio you walk out with.
The personal brand and editorial journal of founder Meshi Michaeli Levi. Ink, identity, and the life around the chair — told in the language of a fashion magazine.
Every piece begins with a conversation and a sketch — never a flash sheet pulled off a wall. Fine-line, black-and-grey, illustrative, and custom editorial work, designed in private sessions and executed with single-use, certified materials.
Delicate single-needle work. Botanicals, script, micro-illustration.
Solid black ink, geometric and ornamental compositions.
Editorial-style pieces drawn from reference and narrative.
Designed from scratch in private consultation sessions.
Professional piercing services with sterile, single-use materials.
A structured three-level curriculum designed to take a complete beginner to a working artist. Numbered steps, real models, hygiene certification, and a portfolio built under Meshi's guidance.
Field work · Level II cohort, Herzliya
Anatomy of the skin, bloodborne pathogens, cross-contamination, Israeli health department certification, machine mechanics.
Single-needle technique on synthetic skin. Consistency, tension, depth, and the discipline of a clean line.
Whip shading, stippling, grey wash. Understanding value the way a printmaker does.
Flow with anatomy, scaling, custom design from reference. Drawing for the body, not the page.
Supervised tattoos on real clients. Consultation, stencil, execution, aftercare — end to end.
Independent pieces, photography, social presence, and the business of taking your first paying clients.
I came in never having held a machine. Six months later I had a portfolio and my first three paying clients.
Meshi teaches the way an editor teaches writing — every line matters, every mark has intent.
Meshi Michaeli Levi on building a studio, a school, and a voice — and why a tattoo, like a magazine spread, is an act of editing.
A tattoo is a sentence you commit to. The work is deciding which one.
Meshi Michaeli Levi is the founder of Tattoo Club Herzliya — a studio, a school, and a personal editorial brand rolled into one. She has been tattooing for over a decade, training artists for the last six years, and writing about ink, identity, and the life around the chair for as long as she's had an Instagram account worth reading.
Her work lives at the intersection of fine-line tattooing and fashion editorial — precise, intentional, and unafraid of negative space. The Meshi the Blonde journal is where that point of view gets room to breathe: longer pieces on process, on clients, on the strange dignity of marking skin.
Four signatures — the work she is known for, and the lines clients ask for again and again.
Single-needle botanicals, script, micro-illustration. The discipline of a whisper.
Pieces drawn from reference and narrative — composed like a magazine spread.
Whip-shaded tonal work. Value the way a printmaker reads it.
Hand-lettered words, names, and phrases — never a font, always a hand.
A client came in today with a Pinterest board and a story about her grandmother. We spent the whole first half not talking about the tattoo. By the time I picked up the pencil, the design had already written itself. The chair is mostly listening.
There's a fantasy that thin equals easy. It's the opposite. A thick line forgives a shaky hand; a fine line shows you everything. I tell every apprentice the same thing: if you can hold a clean single-needle line for ten seconds, you can hold anything.
Not nerves exactly — more like the quiet before a performance. You're about to put something on someone that will outlive the both of you. That deserves a little gravity. The day I stop feeling it is the day I stop.
