From running the behind-the-scenes operations since day one to stepping into the artist’s chair, Sam has been an essential part of The Dark Art Collective. As the shop manager, she kept everything running smoothly, but her passion for the craft led her to take the next step: becoming an apprentice under Mark’s guidance. Now, she’s honing her skills, developing her own style, and making a name for herself in the industry. With a relentless work ethic and a deep respect for the art, Sam is dedicated to mastering tattooing one design at a time.
