About Me ✨

My name is Samantha, but most people know me as Sami. I’m a licensed tattoo artist based in Springfield, Oregon, working at Area 51 Tattoo — the same shop where I started my apprenticeship at 19 and turned my love for art into a full-time career!

My journey started when I was 11. I taught myself how to draw, and I quickly realized that art would always be a part of my life. By high school, I was fully committed to becoming a tattoo artist, and now I get to do what I love every day — helping people tell their stories through tattoos.

Outside of tattooing, I enjoy reading, snowboarding, and I recently started painting landscapes. My favorite color is hot pink, I’m obsessed with elephants, and I’ll never say “no” to an iced coffee. ☕️ I’m very family-oriented — I have two older brothers, a sister, and an amazing fiancé who’s been by my side through it all. I also happen to own the world’s best dog, Zoey!

I’m passionate about creating art that means something — and I’d be honored to help bring your vision to life.
