An artist that grew up in Swan River is doing Ukrainian-themed tattoos, with the proceeds going to support those in Ukraine. Heather Mellor got her start as a tattoo artist in Dauphin and has been working in Winnipeg for the last 5 years. Mellor is of Ukrainian descent, and when she heard about Russia's Invasion of Ukraine, she wanted to help however she could.
