About Sam
"Stay true to yourself, if you have an idea research artists who can create such work for you, and don’t be afraid to keep it to yourself, this world will always like to have an opinion on what you do and your choices, but at the end of the day you live with your tattoo, no one else. Make sure you take the time to find the right person for you, not just art style, but personality, safety, vibe. It’s all important."
EXPERIENCE
About 15 years this year.
STYLE
A lot of it comes from a floral pattern-based art and organic subject matter like foliage or animals, plants etc, I base most of my work off textile patterns which I think stems from my mum who for my whole life has worked with fabrics. So, I've been around the most beautiful fabric my entire life, lace, vintage embroidery, stitching, panels, and patterns which definitely inspires me.
