At Black Gold Tattoo, we take pride in fostering emerging talent, and our Crimson Empire Tattoo junior artist, Samantha, is quickly making a name for herself in the world of illustrative and Neo-traditional tattoos. With a keen eye for detail, bold linework, and a passion for storytelling through ink, Samantha’s work stands out as both expressive and timeless.

Illustrative Tattoos: Art That Tells a Story

Samantha’s illustrative tattoos blend fine art techniques with bold tattoo aesthetics, creating designs that feel dynamic and full of life. Whether it’s delicate botanical pieces, animal portraits, or whimsical fantasy-inspired work, her designs are carefully crafted to fit the flow of the body while maintaining intricate details and shading that bring them to life.

Neo-Traditional: A Modern Twist on a Classic Style

With a Neo-traditional approach, Samantha builds on the foundation of traditional tattooing—bold outlines and rich colours—while incorporating modern influences such as fine details, soft gradients, and more diverse subject matter. Her ability to balance classic structure with fresh creativity makes her an excellent choice for clients who love the vintage look but want something uniquely their own.
