These dudes are great! They are kind and professional and take great care of their clients. Today I received a piercing from Matt. He was quick and very knowledgeable of all aspects of the piercing. He gave me instructions for healing and cleaning my piercing. I would highly suggest seeing him for all your piercing needs.

Lisa Munson

Matt is the best piercer I have ever had. He explains the procedure,and aftercare insturctions.

Tyler Caywood

Josh Angel is awesome. He did my first tattoo here and it turned out perfect. Professional and talented, I highly recommend him.

Nick B. Is amazing. Done all my tattoos

Jose Torrez

Great Shop! Professional atmosphere yet not uptight. Nick Fabini has great touch. Some tattoo artists seem like they are killing you but, not the case with Nick. He listens when you explain your idea of what you want and how unlike people at other shops. He has a great imagination and skill. Also love the old school building they are in! I will be back soon!

I went to get my nose pierced. My first professional piercing and I was very well taken care of. Matt did an encredible job with all my questions and explaining everything to me definitly would recommend!!!!

Cheryl Arthur

Professional, knowledgeable, personable, and just plain awesome!

Stevie Sue

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.

Kristin Miller

It was a great experience. I went to get a piercing and Matt was excellent. He was very talkative and it helped to relieve any nervousness that I had about my piercing! Great experience, I will definitely go back!

Ina Scott

I got my tattoo done here. My son's ashes are in the ink and I'm so glad they were able to do that for me and my husband. It looks great and I am so happy knowing he's always with me. They do great work and I'll never go anywhere else. They know what they're doing and i would highly recommend them. even if they do cost a little more... you get what you pay for. they do quality tattoos.

Jody Opal

Took my extremely nervous 14yo to get her ears pierced. She had a previous bad experience. Matt was amazing! He talked her through the whole thing and took the time to make her feel comfortable, even though he had a packed waiting area and schedule. Very professional.

Boyd Carter

This is a really nice place. It's clean and welcoming and professional. Matt is a wonderful piercer! Knowledgeable, kind, and funny, he is the one to go to for any body piercing. I just had my 3rd one done by him, a week ago. He's been doing this for over 15 years and knows his stuff. Definitely recommend!

Mary Staples

They are great!!!

McClain Shewman

Professional, clean environment and fantastic, creative artists!

Drake Nitro

I don't know why there are 3 different 1 stars because Nick Fabini is my favorite tattoo artist and Cardinal is a very cool and clean environment! I have worked with a lot of tattoo artist in fort wayne and I ended up with him as my last tattoo artist! I think he is the best, nicest and most respected tattoo artist in fort wayne! I had him go over all of my work and then some of his own work! I can't wait to get some more work done from him! Matt Keith also works there! He is an awesome piercer! He has done my eye brows and in two weeks from now, he is going to pierce my eye brow for a third time and a micro dermal piercing aka surface anchor!!! Keep up the good work Cardinal! Your friend Dustin Yancey......

Matt is professional, I will give him that. I went in with my sister to get belly button piercings done while I was in town for spring break. Every body piercing I have has been done at a shop in SC that is EXCELLENT. The problem is with the crappy jewelry they use at Cardinal. When we went, they were "all out of" internally threaded jewelry, which should have been a pretty big red flag anyway. The piercing itself was fine as he made sure it was symmetrical, but he did use clamps. If you can help it, call around and find out if the place uses clamps before you go. They can cause a lot more pain and complications than necessary. I got pierced back in March, and have had on and off again irritation and infection in this piercing non stop. Yesterday, went to the place I usually go to in SC for a jewelry change and the external threads tore me up, pus and blood everywhere despite cleaning twice a day with saline. Day two with new jewelry, surgical grade titanium, and my piercing looks and feels so much better. If you can help it, just go to a place that has high quality and a better selection of jewelry. Don't be like me.

Rachel Baysinger

Matt is great piercer. Always great service and quality jewelry. Nick is an amazing tattooist. Did a fabulous cover up for me

Cristal Reader

It's a great place to go for your tattooing and piercing needs!

Majessica Snyder

I couldn't be happier with the tattoo Caleb did for me. He's a very talented artist and I'll definitely be recommending him and Cardinal Tattoo to all my friends
