How It Works

From idea to ink

1

Start a project

Send your idea, a couple of reference photos, rough placement and size, and a budget range.

2

Sam gets back to you

She’ll give you a ballpark, talk through the design, and set up a consultation for bigger pieces.

3

Get tattooed

In a private suite at Spa Mambo, 4400 E. Broadway, Suite 110 — one session or several.

No online checkout, no fixed menu. Every tattoo is priced individually by size, detail, and placement, and Sam handles payment with you directly — the way custom work should be.
