Early Life and Education

Sarah Miller was born on July 27, 1985, in Rochester, New York, and grew up in upstate New York. She developed a passion for art at age two, drawing ever since she could hold a pencil. Her early love for comics and animation shaped her artistic style.

She moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at 19 to attend the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, where she studied art, focusing on graphic design and illustration. Her background in classical art and painting influences her detailed tattoo work, particularly her portraiture. Little is known about her family or early personal life beyond her artistic beginnings, as she keeps these details private.

Career

Sarah Miller began her career in graphic design and illustration, working with design firms on product branding campaigns until 2009, when she was laid off. Tattooing became her creative outlet, initially as a way to stay sane during unemployment. She transitioned to tattooing full-time, starting at Jester’s Court in Pittsburgh’s South Side, and fell in love with the industry’s creative freedom.

In 2012, she opened Wyld Chyld Tattoo in Pittsburgh, where she manages a team of artists and focuses on detailed, realistic portrait tattoos, avoiding traditional styles she finds less realistic. Miller gained prominence as the runner-up on Ink Master Season 2 (2012), earning praise for her colorful skull and top hat tattoo and a Pittsburgh skyline piece featuring a Jordan Staal jersey-wearing girl fighting zombies.

She returned as a human canvas in Season 3 (tattooed by Kyle Dunbar) and as a contestant in Season 7 (2016), though she was eliminated early. She also appeared in the Spike TV pilot Ink Shrinks, using tattoos as therapy to aid clients’ healing. Miller has traveled globally for tattoo conventions, competing and winning numerous awards for her portraiture. Her work extends to comic book creation (The Valkyrie’s Wode) and cosplay, having dressed as Xena, Wonder Woman, Naga from Slayers, and Dr. Girlfriend from The Venture Brothers. She is passionate about Star Wars, with The Empire Strikes Back as her favorite, and has done numerous pop culture tattoos.

Personal Life

Sarah Miller resides in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she runs Wyld Chyld Tattoo. She is single, with no confirmed spouse or partner, and has a daughter named Olivia, though details about her daughter’s age or father are private.

Diagnosed with autism as an adult, Miller has spoken about the challenges of being misunderstood on Ink Master due to editing and her intense personality, which some fans on Reddit noted as off-putting but attributed to her neurodiversity.

She is a self-described tomboy and “very insane,” embracing her unique energy. Her hobbies include cosplay (e.g., Xena, Wonder Woman), comic book creation, and classical art appreciation. A cat mom, she often shares her love for animals on social media. Miller faced stereotypes in the male-dominated tattoo industry but advocates for women in tattooing, noting their openness to learning. She values harsh critiques from Ink Master for pushing her artistic growth. A memorable project was a five-year Pittsburgh Steelers tattoo for superfan Scott Wolfe, completed in 2018. No major controversies are noted, though some X posts discuss her early Ink Master elimination in Season 7 as unfair.
