The Cardinal Skin Art & Gallery

"I chose this shop because of the reviews and artwork I saw from artists on instagram. I emailed a picture of what I wanted and was assigned an artist. The artist was kind and friendly and from a bedside manner, the experience was positive. The shop was also also clean and nice. However my artist was inexperienced, after working on my tattoo for two hours ( it was only 3ish inches) I was told I’d need need to come back when it healed. My tattoo is very overworked and I have alot of skin trauma. It bled ink for 5 days, there are line blow outs, scabs and already looks aged due to severe fading. I will have to let my skin heal for a long time and then definitely get it fixed elsewhere, which is also costly, as this 3 inch tattoo was $200. So, my suggestion is, even if the shop has a good rep and good artists- don’t assume all artists are experienced. Even though my artist was friendly and kind, they definitely did not have the experience necessary for my tattoo and I’m still dealing w the pain and repercussions of it. And I will end up having to pay for it to be fixed and end up paying a significant amount on a small piece. So, don’t be like me- even in a reputable shop, make sure you vet your artist to ensure they have the experience necessary to give you a beautiful piece and not cause your skin unnecessary trauma."

"Outstanding atmosphere, location, and employees. I had the chance to get a tattoo done by one of their apprentices Eh Wei and he exceeded my expectations in all aspects. He was extremely patient, detailed, and considerate when it came to the design process and the tattoo itself. They take tattoo healing and sanitary processes very seriously to make sure your piece comes out perfect and I will definitely be recommending friends and family."

"Amazing job!!!! Won't ever go anywhere else! Keron has went over and beyond my expectations. His work is beautiful. It's like having a master piece painting on me! I just love it and he's not even finished! The atmosphere around the place is great, very laid back! And his wife works the front desk and she is super friendly. Hands down best tattoo shop I've ever been in!"

"Look no further for the BEST artists around! This shop should be five stars and more. My experience was perfect in every way, Rosemary is very talented, listens to your story and brings it to life in her tattoos. Celeste was always checking on me .. there was laughter, relaxing music , and u feel right at home. I will definitely be back many times over :)"
