Bougie Bougie Tattoo Studio

Samuel Showery (@bearhugs.ink) is amazing. His professionalism and skill are unmatched in my opinion. I had a great experience and one of the best tattoos I’ve ever laid my eyes on is now on my skin. I would highly recommend booking with him. Not only will you get the best tattoo of your life, but you can be confident that no matter what he’s doing you’re about to get quality work and an amazing tattoo thank you so much. I love my tattoo.

Got a 12 hour tattoo done by Sam. As a first timer. Sam which is an amazing artist and person genuinely cares about his work. He enjoys the ending product but also the process. Which makes him the amazing artist he is. During the tattoo Sam also gave me several breaks and also kept up with me. Definitely recommend for anyone who is looking to have an amazing tattoo.

I had an amazing experience getting tattooed by Sam. From start to finish, he was incredibly patient and professional. He really took his time with the piece and never made the session feel rushed. I appreciated how accommodating he was with breaks whenever I needed them, which made the whole experience much more comfortable. What stood out the most was how much care Sam put into getting the tattoo exactly right. He paid close attention to the details and made sure everything was perfect before moving on. His shading work is honestly incredible — it brings the tattoo to life. The gradients and contrast give the piece depth and dimension so it doesn’t look flat at all. The linework is very clean, the anatomy is well balanced, and the motion in the design feels dynamic, almost like the character is moving on the skin. I was also a bit concerned beforehand about how the tattoo would look on my brown skin, but Sam handled that beautifully. His understanding of shading and contrast really shows. Instead of overworking the piece, he used the tones in a way that works with my skin tone, which made the final result look sharp and natural. Overall, Sam is a thoughtful artist who clearly cares about both the art and the client’s experience. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, detail-oriented, and truly skilled with shading and composition, I highly recommend him.

Went in for a tattoo by Sam and he absolutely killed it. Walking in the space was super clean and had a lot of natural light. The space had great ambience and the owner Ihor was super nice and had great music taste. 10/10 would go again

I absolutely loved my experience here! Sam was so thoughtful and creative with my tattoo design and took the time to really personalize it and make it special. His style and fine line art is both unique and beautiful. I might just end up covered in teddy bears. The studio itself is a great vibe! A very classy, upscale, and wonderful atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend getting a tattoo here. Oh and as a bonus they really took the time to explain after care to me, which I thought was very helpful!
