Hi there! I’m Sammie,

I’m a 2nd year tattoo apprentice at Ink Maven — a private, appointment-only studio in Danville, Kentucky.
My work leans into fineline blackwork, delicate stipple shading, dark illustrative realism, and soft surreal/gothic elements. I’m drawn to pieces that blend elegance with mood — celestial motifs, ornamental shapes, dream-like symbolism, and anything a little mysterious and expressive.

While those styles are where my heart thrives, I’m always open to new ideas that align with my skill set. I love collaborating closely with clients to transform their concepts into something unique and meaningful. If a design falls outside of what I can confidently offer, I’ll be honest — and I’ll happily help guide you toward an artist who can bring your vision to life.

My priority is creating a safe, welcoming, and comfortable experience from start to finish. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your fifteenth, I want the process to feel calm, intentional, and tailored to you. If there’s anything I can do to make your appointment smoother or help you feel more at ease, please let me know — your comfort means everything to me.

I’m incredibly grateful for every person who sits in my chair and trusts me with their skin and their stories. Thank you for considering me for your next piece. I’m excited to keep growing, learning, and creating beautiful work with you. 🖤
