WELCOME

I’m Samantha Brodek, an artist and tattooist in Richmond Virginia. I studied at VCU Arts and earned a bachelor's degree in communication arts. I focus on gothic artwork, combining geometric patterns and elements of nature to contrast themes of delicacy and beauty with dark, creepy imagery.

 

Inspired by Buddhist philosophy - exploring the duality of human existence, I hope to capture and illuminate the beauty of decay. I specialize in highly detailed illustrations and blackwork tattoos. I have recently expanded my area of focus to include making handmade jewelry using animal bones, teeth, and gothic home decor.
