“With over eight years of experience tattooing across different countries, I’ve worked in many styles, but I’m especially drawn to fine line, neo-traditional, cover-ups, and transforming old tattoos into something new.
For me, tattooing is more than art — it’s self-expression. I believe every tattoo tells a story, and my goal is to create work that feels meaningful, personal, and true to each client.
As Creative Director and Head Artist at Once Upon a Tattoo, I’ve built a studio that’s welcoming, inclusive, and focused on giving every client the best possible experience.” – Sam
