Meet Samantha – Where Art and Energy Collide
Samantha Burton is a lifelong artist, dog mom, and proud collector of quirky hobbies. When she’s not tattooing, you might find her carving up the streets on a board, deep in a D&D campaign, or chilling with her pup. She brings that same mix of energy and imagination to every piece she creates.
While Samantha doesn’t claim a single signature style, she’s best known for her bold, vibrant colorwork and whimsical fantasy vibes. Think mythical creatures, pet portraits, anime, dark horror, or even a splash of Pokémon — she’s here for all of it. Her creativity runs wild, and she’s not afraid to improvise when the moment calls for it.
Tattoo Styles Sam Excels In
Samantha’s got range—and she’s not afraid to use it. From Japanese and American traditional to fine-line, realism, and watercolor, she moves between styles with confidence. Whether you’ve got a detailed vision or just a vibe, she’s happy to bring it to life—or take full creative freedom if you’re down to let her run wild.
She’s especially known for designing vibrant, whimsical pieces with bold color and personality. Some of her favorite themes include:
🐾 Animals, botanicals & pet memorials
🧚 Fantasy, mythology & cryptids
🩸 Horror, gore & dark art
- 📺 Pop culture – anime, cartoons, video games & Dungeons & Dragons
Have something you regret? Samantha loves doing cover-ups—and not just to hide what’s underneath, but to create something you’re actually proud to wear. She treats each one like a custom challenge, working with the shape and flow to design a fresh piece that feels intentional and bold. All cover-up work starts with a free, in-person consultation to map it out right.
What Inspires Sam’s Work
Samantha’s tattoos are rooted in storytelling — blending nature, fantasy, and pop culture into bold, colorful pieces that reflect her love for the imaginative. She gravitates toward themes like animals, botanicals, mythological figures, and anything with deep personal meaning, creating art that feels alive with energy and detail.
Inspired by Japanese art, fine line realism, and watercolor techniques, Samantha thrives on blending styles and pushing creative boundaries. Her work is all about capturing emotion and movement, whether it’s a fierce dragon or a delicate flower. If you’re looking for a tattoo that’s vibrant, unique, and full of character — you’re in good hands.
