I got a tattoo with Samson. He was really friendly and understanding, as well as the rest of the people working there. I was worried about how working with multiple reference photos would end up and he put the ideas together perfectly! He was fun to talk with while getting the tattoo as well! I got a dragon on a sword/dagger. I liked the music, and it was a nice distraction when I wasn't chatting. The music seemed to be a large mix of rock, rap, and other genres. I also loved the snack drawer. read more

We were in town for a conference and called around to try to find someone who had time to complete some small tattoos for the three of us. Felicity was amazing! She took the time to understand what we wanted. The shop has a good vibe and great music! Thank you for making our trip to Rapid City so memorable. read more

Well, where to begin. My appointment was for 12pm, she understood that I'd be a little late as I had to work later than expected. So for 1 hour with including discussion of drawing on her tablet. The work started almost 2pm. She stopped in the middle of doing my tatt to sit and eat 4 steps away. For about 15- 20 minutes. FKN, UNSANITARY!!!! oh speaking if UNSANITARY, she did not sanitize the seat nor leg area that my tatt was being on. So customer service is a " 1". Next, wearing a long skirt with my leg between her legs was in an awkward position meaning tattooing on partial and impartial flexing. MOTHER-FR! Stop weari g skirts. Oh, before she did the tatt she needed a smoke break, WTF???? I gave $100 cash deposit 1 week ago. I asked her how much before she started. " I can only pay $200 tops". After printing, and whatever, she comes back with 2 sizes of print. I wanted the smaller one. She used the bigger one. Which FKN, tells me she is NOT LISTENING to her client AT ALL. Like WTF ???? Look, lady artist, I'm not walking in to be besties!!!! It's a job and if ya do not like people get out of the profession. The tattoo was a 1 hour tattoo job. Turned into 2 1/2 for her bullshit!!!! Then get this, she counted my $100 cash I gave her and was trying to charge me an EXTRA$100.00 WHEN ON CHECK OUT. OOPS, I forgot to deduct. @Sam, if I get a staph infection because of her hungry, rude, ass I SUING THE BOTH OF YOU!!!!!​​​ read more

I just got some ink done by Samson and I have to say it was the best tattoo experience by far. You can really tell he loves what he does and values the relationship with his customers. This guy read my mind when it came to what I wanted done and I am so happy and obsessed with how everything came out. He has such creative ideas, is very patient and amazing quality!! I'm definitely going back to him and highly recommend him to anyone! read more

April is so awesome, obviously at her job, but just in life she's so sweet and easy to talk to. She gave me a smilie piercing, and it was a call in and I was lucky to have gotten her. The stars aligned I guess. She also repierced my bottom belly button annnnddd that was just on a whim. I honestly felt little to no pain. I loved that she wanted to make sure that I had the anatomy for the smiley. The place is also clean, well taken care of. April is very skilled at her job, 10 outta 10 would recommend. Thank you April!! read more

Awesome place with friendly artists. I booked an appointment with Josh and last minute changed how I wanted my design to look and he was super accommodating and changed it! The tattoo process itself was painless and relaxing and normally I get anxious before a session. Next time I get a tattoo I will definitely go back to Convicted Designs! 100% recommend to anybody! The shop is very clean and the staff is very friendly and warm! read more

Our group of friends had a special tattoo request and Josh was professional and fun. He did a wonderful job.

My wife and I came to Samson to get couples tattoos. My wife was already inked. I, on the other hand, had never been inked, so this was my first. Samson was extremely professional!! The facility was extremely clean, extremely comfortable, and the experience was a solid 5/5!! Samson is a very talented artist. I have absolutely NO complaints whatsoever!! He put his own twist on the design we wanted and totally made the art an original. When we first scheduled the session, Samson made sure to tell me what to expect as far as time, pain level, and that I should eat about an hour before. I know that experienced customers know this, but this was my first, so I didn't know about eating first. I also didn't know that some people pass out. All of that information he provided made me way more comfortable and excited to get inked. The day of, he drew up the design and we LOVED it!! The tat session was about 30 mins each. His equipment was very sterile, he wore gloves, sanitized the entire area, and took his time to ensure the highest quality. Afterwards, he cleaned it, placed the second skin on so it could heal properly, told us exactly what to do to maintain it and keep it from becoming infected. It's been a little over a month now, and the tat looks BETTER than what it did on day one. All of the other artists in the studio were friendly and professional as well. I WILL be coming back to get more. Count on it!! read more

He pays close attention to detail and has an artistic eye for shading. Dylan made the entire experience a positive one. The shop atmosphere is open and inviting. The shop was clean, and the equipment was sanitized. We would recommend this artist and shop to others looking to for an amazing tattoo in the Rapid City, SD area. read more

I am very impressed with the tattoo I got here at Convicted Designs Tattoos. I walked in on a Friday afternoon and was able to get in right away. Sam did my tattoo and I absolutely love it! This is a very clean and friendly environment. Sam has you watch him clean the chair and shows you the needle before he uses it. I got a heart with a paw print on the back of my neck. I had Sam leave the paw print not colored in, which looked great. After I left I thought about it a little more and decided I wanted it colored in. I called them back and they were so willing to fit be back in the same day. Sam was busy so Dan did the filling in of my tattoo. He was great also, very friendly and gentle. I have 3 other tattoos and this was by far the least painful and most pleasant experience of all. Very reasonably priced and well worth the money. I give them 5 stars and more if I could. Thanks again guys! read more
