Hello

Sam L Brown, @samadhiibtattoos, is non-binary & queer tattoo artist located in Bend, Oregon. Originally from a small town outside of Saint Louis, Missouri, Sam was surrounded by art as their mom and other members of their family were artists and creatives of varied medias. Their interest in art began young as a form of therapeutic release. Sam began their career in marketing and design before making a shift into mental health care, primarily with queer youth. They have a passion for people first, art and expression follow closely behind. 

 

Sam's mission in the tattoo industry is to provide a safe station catering to all, especially queer/LGBTQIA2S+, BILAPOC, and neurodivergent folks. Using previous experience in trauma informed care and as a queer individual they prioritize creating space where vulnerability is held, needs are accommodated, and support is always part of the service.
