Sam Rutledge

Artist Bio

Hi my name is Sam!

I moved to the area in 2020, and have been in love with Virginia ever since. I became interested in tattooing when I was a teenager when my older sister became a tattoo apprentice, and I just thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Years later, my sister apprenticed me and here I am! My favorite things in life are my family and tattooing, and I now get to tattoo alongside my sister, fiancé, and brother in law.

I really enjoy meeting and talking with people, hearing their ideas, and coming up with the best tattoo for them! I love tattooing from things that are silly and fun, sparkly and cute, or sentimental and special, and everything in between. Styles I enjoy the most are illustrative, American Traditional, and Traditional Japanese, but am open to working in many different styles. I love all people, and working with me guarantees that you’ll always be in a safe space.
