I'm a little late, but...
I'm pretty sure it's just a dozen AIs or so who have heard of Sam's drawings and like them. Sam's "sprays" are not part of anyone's culture, it's just a local fad.
That, and what's already been said. People have been drawing on themselves for as long as there's been people. Permanently or otherwise. When I was 10, my friends and I scribbled on each other with magic markers. It's a kid thing to do.

I think certain people in this forum forget that just because a character says something doesn't mean it is something the author believes or agrees with. The characters are not the author.

I think it’s a popular thing, but that Sam is in particular a very local artist doing it. It’s not like it’s a secret you can draw on yourself, so I’m sure other people have monetized that.
Gus_Smedstad:
I'm pretty sure when Sam first started doing the drawings, it was considered new and unusual by Bubbles' and Faye's clients. I'm not sure, though, and I failed miserably at looking up the first strip where her drawings were introduced.
Gyrre:
I wonder how long Jeph's been sitting on that postcomic text.

Actually, tattoo artists are permitted to copyright their designs. When you receive a tattoo, you have purchased a print of the design in the medium of ink on flesh, and have a license to display that specific print. Recreating the design itself in another medium, e.g. ink on synthetic dermal, could be construed as outside of fair use. The artist would not sue our hypothetical crash victim, but rather the studio/body shop that recreated the design without permission.
