Sam is a self-taught tattoo artist from Northern California with a tremendous soft spot for wild creatures, having worked in both wildlife rehabilitation and veterinary care. She has fondly illustrated plants and animals since she could first grip a pencil, and takes great pleasure in celebrating the natural world through body adornment. She has been tattooing for five years, and has found the profession to be incredibly deep and gratifying. Sam is a proponent of radical body positivity and values consent through every step of the tattooing process. She specializes in delicate lines and soft shading and prefers blackwork with the occasional small splash of color.
