Sam is very professional and the environment is clean and comfortable. I will be going back to him for future pieces. He’s thorough with his work and seems like a really nice guy to work with. He’s good at what he does and you will leave his shop with some beautiful art.
Sam was able to detail my current tattoo and seamlessly add additional details and colors. I am so pleased with the result. The shop is spotless and Sam spent time with me to make sure he knew what I wanted. His experience and professionalism are impressive. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting an artist to do a tattoo.
Samuel has been doing my tattoos for the past 8 years and I will never see anybody else! He takes my ideas and turns them into amazing pieces of art. The environment is always very comfortable and relaxed. I cant even put it all into words so here are pictures of his work instead!
Sam is a cool dude. very easy going and professional. He is very knowledgeable about tattoos and caring for a tattoos. He took the time to listen to my ideas and made something that was very meaningful to me into a beautiful piece of art. Highly recommend and will be back for more tattoos in the future! Thanks Sam!
Sam was amazing to work with! I’m very particular with line work, so I did quite a bit of research before I came across Blaqtaffy and was very impressed with his clean lines and techniques! I reached out and he was prompt in response and getting me booked, and I couldn’t be happier so far with his work! Super excited to continue working with him going forward on many projects I have planned!
Sam is spectacular and so easy to work with! He had a low price range to work with but Sam was able to get me a great size and design! He responded super quickly to my appointment request and worked through the whole process with me. Will certainly recommend to any who ask!!!
Thanks, Sam for my awesome reaper! I have wanted a tattoo for over a year but wanted to make sure I went to the right artist who really understood traditional work. Sam was professional and very friendly and made my experience enjoyable. I cant wait to come back and continue my sleeve!
Ive been wanting a good quality artist to do a corpse bride portrait for me for years now and was very happy to work with Sam. I definitely made the right choice! Ive worked with a few other artists in the past and felt that some didnt take the time to really get a sense of what I was specifically looking for. Sam was very thorough and made sure I got the exact look I was going for! I will be getting much more ink from him in the future!!
Sam is absolutely amazing, he’s the only person I trust with doing my tattoos. TALENTED doesn’t even begin to describe him!! Astonishing? Superb?! There’s no words!! By FAR the BEST tattoo artist I’ve ever had the pleasure of having his artwork on my skin! You want the best tattoo dude in the Midwest?! It’s definitely Sam!!! Rave rave rave!
Sam is an awesome guy, super easygoing and kind. i’ve had a few tattoos in my time but this was the best work i’ve had done hands down. his prices are fair and i cannot stress the quality of his work. i will be recommending him to anyone who asks
Sam did an awesome job! He was very professional and friendly, His work space was clean and very cool. Definitely going back here for my next tattoo. Thanks Sam!
I was looking for a place in town to get greywash realistic floral added on to a portrait on my forearm. After researching different artists in town I wanted Sam to do my tattoo. Im so glad I came here. He took my idea and brought it to life on my arm. He was able to do certain little things with the tattoo that really made it add on to the piece I already have instead of just slapping something down next to it. Very clean shop, easy to schedule, and made me feel comfortable during the whole process. I will be seeing him again to finish my half sleeve and he will definitely be my go to artist in Grand Forks.
IMO, Blaq Taffy is THE go-to tattoo shop in Grand Forks. My first trip into the shop was for a piece that would cover up an old tattoo and incorporate art for my son and youngest daughter. Sam was able to come up with the perfect piece for the cover. After this portion was completed, I thought I would go ahead and turn it into a half sleeve, again, he came through with some great ideas and flawless execution. You wont regret booking with Blaq Taffy!
Sam has done my last few tattoos, I wont go anywhere else now! Love his work. Clean shop, sticks to his quoted prices, good guy all around.
Sam did an AMAZING job with my husband and my tattoos. We had an idea of what we wanted and he did better than I could have wished for. 100% recommend
Sam always does a fantastic job. Extremely professional and a great artist. If youre looking for work done in GF, I highly recommend here.
Sam is the best in Grand Forks! The piece I just got done was all his creation. Im leaving the whole area in his hands. This is the 4th piece Ive had done by him and wont go anywhere else!
Really nice shop and a great artist! Sam’s a really cool dude, and it’s always great to have good conversation sitting in the chair. I’ll be coming back for sure.
Sam takes great pride in his work!Very professional with an added comical personality!Will definitely return
Sam does absolutely incredible artwork. His black/grey work is unmatched. 10/10!!!
The man was very nice and his lines are very clean one of the best tattoos Ive gotten I would 100% recommend this to anyone who wants a tattoo .
A pleasure to work with, he did a great job at a very reasonable price!
We called ahead of time to see if they had space for 3 walk ins, as we live an hour away. We called 3 hours ahead of time and when we got there, they said they weren’t taking any more walk ins. Waste of a trip!
Havent even gotten the tattoo or booked an appointment but from reading all the reviews🤗 looks like Ill be seeing if there is a opening for me and my girl 😀💯
Love Sam and his work! Hes chill, friendly and professional.
