About

Hi! My name is Sam Chase and I’m a professional tattoo artist at Sapphire Studios in Naperville, IL. With close to 6 years of experience, I find myself more passionate than ever to create meticulously crafted custom tattoos. I’m inspired by nature, realism, and the macabre, which are themes I often incorporate in my work ✨
I’m a wife, mom of 1 little boy, have 2 cats, and an axolotl! I love video games, community organizing, illustration, and plant-keeping 🍃
My studio is private, all-inclusive, accessible, and ready to offer a curated and comfortable experience to all 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♿️
Specialties: Fineline, dotwork, illustrative realism, blackwork, anime/manga, nature themes, chrome and glass 🖤
