The Cardinal Skin Art & Gallery Review, Prices, Services, Images

* I’ve added updated pictures of the heeled tattoo , Keron refused to provide a partial refund after we had a verbal agreement that he would do so , he then threatened me with a defamation suit even though it is my right as a paying customer to provide a review on the service or lack thereof that I was provided. I hope you’re having fun getting wasted at your music festival with the money that you rip off from people * What was supposed to be a special and elevated experience has turned into a constant reminder that someone would rather make a quick buck than actually care about me!
I went to Keron for a wedding band ring tattoo and a seed of life mandala. When I reached out I stated that I understood if he didn’t want to do the ring (I know not all artists work on hands). He seemed perfectly comfortable and eager. I wanted someone who was excited about doing the ring as it’s a symbol of the commitment I made to my husband. He showed up an hour late. They had printer issues that took another hour. He finally took out his laptop and decided he was going to design the tattoo I had already sent a deposit for. He wasted time both his and mine. He treated me and my tattoos like it was the last thing he wanted to be doing. If you didn’t want to tattoo me you should have rescheduled! He didn’t finish the tattoo and he proceeded to tattoo a thick wedding band after asking me if I wanted it thinner and me confirming I did want it thinner. The lines are terrible and it’s not even completely filled in. I’m going to be spending hundreds getting this fixed. Keron has my information and needs to make this right. This has had a huge negative impact on not only my self esteem but my mental health. I’m constantly reminded that someone took their personal problems out on my body! I was mortified to see he was tattooing someone days after doing this to me. Seek help.

Go see Maddie! She’s done two different tattoos for me, one color and one black and white. I had never been tattooed before and she worked with me to get exactly what I wanted. She also made me feel very comfortable and prepared for my tattoo. She provided great post care instructions too.

Maddie has done 3 of my tattoos, 2 of which are on the larger/more detailed side. She has a great manner and always made sure I was comfortable. And she does amazing art! I recommend her to anyone local.

I had an amazing experience at Cardinal. Maddie’s expertise and attention to detail really stood out. She listened carefully to my ideas and turned them into a beautiful piece of art. The atmosphere in the shop was welcoming and professional, making me feel relaxed throughout the process. Maddie’s skillful handiwork exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the final result.
I’ll definitely be coming back for more work.

Karissa did amazing work on my first ever tattoo! Prior to our session she spent plenty of time going over what I should expect during our session, she would check in with me during the session to make sure I was okay and went over after care. Since it was my first tattoo I had no idea what to expect after. She gave me both verbal and written instructions on the healing process, how to clean and wrap the tattoo and made sure to be available when I forgot everything she said. I love the piece! She captured exactly what I asked for
