Sponsored Artist of the Month – Sam Ford
A second-generation tattoo artist, Sam Ford is one of the leading ladies in the tattooing world, constantly producing work of the highest standard.
Sam is the lead tattoo artist and owner of Silver Needles tattoo studio in Southend-on-Sea, UK, and has been creating stunning works of art for many years.
Her style is instantly recognisable by her floral watercolour pieces, colour realism work and pin-up tattoos, mixed with some splashes of art nouveau.
After seeing the high quality of her work, it should come as no surprise to hear that Sam was named ‘Best UK Female Tattoo Artist’ at the 2018 Liverpool Tattoo Convention.
Sam Ford was chosen as the recipient of the award after a panel of respected tattoo artists were wowed by her impressive portfolio.
Last year, her work was further brought to the attention of the general public when she was a guest judge on the semi-final of E4’s Tattoo Artist of the Year.
On the TV show, Sam challenged five artists, including eventual winner and fellow sponsored tattooist Luke Sayer, to produce their finest watercolour tattoos – a subject which you can be sure she’s an expert in!
Sam uses various supplies from Killer Ink Tattoo to create her eye-catching work, including Fusion Tattoo Ink and Dermalize Pro aftercare.
Check out more of Sam Ford’s tattoos via her Instagram and studio’s Facebook pages.
