Sam Dustin is a long-term local artist in the nautical town of South Haven, MI. She has been a professional artist for over 25 years. After obtaining her Bachelor’s degree with a double major in Fine Art and Graphic Design, Sam began tattooing in 2010. Instantaneously, she fell in love with the medium and tattoo culture.
In recent years, Sam has been pushing the boundaries of botanical, animal, and nature-scape tattoos. Her work takes on a painterly realistic style fit for any cutting-edge leader who desires thoughtful planning to make their visions come true.
Tattooing has allowed her to travel while making art for unique and adventurous clients. She welcomes clients from inside and outside the Great Lakes Region by offering full-day and back-to-back sessions. Please check out her upcoming travel and convention dates.
