Absolutely excellent piercer. He is the most professional piercer that I've ever been to. He is exclusively a piercer so he knows and shares everything you need to know about the piercing he's about to give you. Saved me from a good idea turned very painful experience, instead I had a great time and will be going back when these heal for the last one. Read Less

Cardinal Tattoo does nothing short of amazing and consistent work. I've had Ted and John both do pieces on my ribs and forearm respectively and they both absolutely killed it. I waited to post this review until my latest tattoo has healed and it looks incredible! White ink is one of hardest tattoos to get right and both artists killed it. Have been to other places for easier more simple tattoos and they turned out terribly so needless to say Cardinal will be correcting them. Staff is friendly and incredibly knowledgeable I have a hard time trusting any other shop in the Fort. 10 out of 10 times I would recommend Cardinal Tattoo. Read Less

I took my almost 12 year old to get her ears pierced. She was nervous due to a bad experience before and the piercer, Matt Keefe was absolutely amazing!! He put her at ease, gave clear directions on care and truly took his time with her. She walked away absolutely beaming. He used surgery grade stainless steel and the total cost was very reasonable. I would highly recommend any parent taking their kids here for ear piercings. Read Less

We were pleased to find that their hours were accommodating to our last minute decision of getting a piercing. We were greeted upon entering and Matt was with us minutes after we arrived. Matt did a great job of walking us through the process and answered all of our questions. It was obvious that he is truly a master of his craft. The other artists made us feel right at home. We would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a bad ass piercing. Read Less
