Cardinal Ink

I see Seth here. This tattoo shop is very clean. It's an all open layout, which might make some uncomfortable. Which is what you'd expect from a traditional tattoo parlor. The artists I've met are extremely professional and do fantastic work. I highly recommend any of their artists, but Seth is my favorite. I'll continue to get my work done here, exclusively.

Depending on the artist, the style of music usually changes, but you can expect a punk rock type atmosphere.

Dustin is an incredible artist! He’s always on time, prepared, receptive to your ideas and has creative feedback to add his own, true to his word and manages his availability phenomenally so you’re never waiting or feeling rushed.
His shop is absolutely beautiful, always clean, has a relaxing vibe. Comfortable chairs, good music, beautiful art everywhere which is important if you plan on sitting in the same spot for hours. I chose Dustin because I needed someone I could trust with a sleeve that went from my shoulder to my knuckles and his work is so clean, well thought out, and his technical skills are amazing. The fine details throughout in my enormous tattoo are absolutely FIRE. 🔥 couldn’t recommend him enough.
From the perspective of someone who understands tattoos are an investment & is willing to pay for quality, his pricing is modest & fair for his skill level.
He’s also very charitable and regularly uses his platform and reach to raise funds for the community & he’s had more than a handful of apprentaces over the last couple years who can be seen practicing art, keeping the shop spotless, watching him tattoo while he explains what he's doing and gives them challenges to grow their skills. It's always heartwarming seeing established artists investing their time into teaching new artists and he really cares about them! Long review, but he worked on my tattoo over a long period of time and we spent a lot of hours in that shop and I can honestly say he's a good dude and this is a good studio.

Photos are at various stages, some were taken before the sleeve was finished (there's not still huge gaps in my sleeve lol)

Beautiful shop, very calm inviting environment. Michaela did my piece and she was so sweet, talented, and not heavy handed at all!!! 🫶🏻 I’m in love!

I went in for a tattoo with Dustin today and could not be happier with how it came out! The shop is beautiful and everyone was very friendly. I appreciated him taking his time with details like placement and making sure the line work matched the style of my previous tattoos. I will definitely be going back for more in the future!

Wonderful experience, couldn't have asked for a better tattoo. If your thinking about booking- I'd say absolutely do it! The shop itself is beautiful, everyone was friendly and it's an overall clean professional environment! Would highly recommend and book again! (Dustin was my artist)

Dustin at Cardinal Ink was recommended to me for a portrait tattoo I wanted in honor of my first pup that passed. I was picky about who to choose for such a meaningful tattoo and I’m SO glad I chose Dustin! I had a great experience at Cardinal Ink and my tattoo is even better than I could have hoped!!! It looks exactly like him. Dustin was super awesome in making sure it was what and where I wanted, and it turned out amazing! HIGHLY recommend Cardinal Ink!

Dustin did an outstanding job on my tattoo! He took his time making sure it was perfect and exactly what I wanted… it turned out better than I imagined!! The salon has such a clean and comfortable vibe… I will definitely be back for any other tattoo needs!

Greatest tattoo shop around. Super clean and gorgeous shop. Artists are super pleasant. I go to Dustin who happens to be my favorite tattoo artist ever, he always puts his own creative ideas into my tattoos and knows exactly what I want. Sydney the apprentice there does AMAZING work as well. I would highly recommend this shop and any of the artists there.

I was impressed the second I walked into the shop. It's not a typical tattoo shop. It has really cool photography hanging on the walls and the tattoos they have done are displayed on a big TV screen. It's EXTREMELY clean and everything in there is brand new and high quality. You can tell they really took their time and made the shop beautiful. Dustin did my tattoo and he was awesome! He really took his time to make sure it was exactly what I wanted and placed perfectly. It was only my second tattoo so he was great about giving me a minute to get used to the feel of it so I'd be comfortable. I'm really happy with the results and I'll definitely be coming back! I will recommend this shop to anyone I know wanting a tattoo.

Excellent customer service. I reached out to both Kaitlyn and Dustin with questions. Both artists responded to me within a day. Both were very helpful and I ended up getting a tattoo by Dustin. He is very professional and did an excellent job creating my tattoo. It turned out better than I ever imagined. The shop is clean and very comfortable. I highly recommend Cardinal Ink...no arrogance no egos.

I recently received a Tattoo From Seth Scott. I want to say the experience was amazing, The quality of work was off the charts. His work is awesome. Very Detail oriented, Listened and suggested ideas and I am 100% satisfied. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks for the great experience.

Dustin did my tattoo and it is nothing less than amazing and everything I wanted. Very talented artist. Very clean environment and easy to work with. Cannot wait to get more tattoos here.

I was a bit skeptical when I was walking through the mall and saw a tattoo shop but it also looked out of place! This is because it is Totally like walking through the Wall separating the muggle world from the magical world in Harry Potter. As soon as you walk through the door you enter into another world! Not only us this the cleanest tattoo shop I've been in but it also has some of the greatest tattoo artists that I have had the pleasure of talking to. Real people who genuinely care for the ink they put on your body instead of how fast they can take your money and get you out of their shop! Their artwork is amazing! I actually love to show off my tattoos that I have received for Dustin at Cardinal Ink! I can't wait to be able to book my next tattoo! Book now because the wait list is over 3 months out usually and for a very good reason! Keep it up y'all! You have a client for life!

The shop atmosphere is chill and comfortable. I currently wear my favorite piece of art done by Dustin the owner. He makes sure to tell you the pros and cons and gives advice on making the piece the best it could be. I always look forward to booking with Dustin. It's always an amazing experience.

My experience at cardinal ink was beyond great! The staff is very personal made me feel like not just another client. Dustin had great understanding of ideas that I had and put them together for a great tattoo. I will definitely be getting tattooed by Dustin here shortly again.

Really, really impressive experience here; Matt is absolutely incredible and the other tattoos I saw that day were also crushed - whole crew seems top notch but an extra special s/o to my boy Matt for blowing my expectations out of the water! Will likely be going here solely in the future, worth the 2 hour trip!

I'm very pleased with the tattoo I got today from Dustin. I walked in just to see what his shop was about and to see when he would be able to fit me in for a small tattoo of the word "Strength". He was happy to squeeze me in right then and there with it being small. His attention to detail is spot on and I'll be coming here for my future work! Thank you again Dustin!

Very clean shop. Great people, quality is high all the way around. The owner is a great dude and willing to engage in conversation. Shawn is a talented young artist who has given me some quality tattoos in a timely manner .

I started coming here around the beginning of summer 2022, and I couldn’t be any happier with the results. My personal experience with my Tatoo artist has been incredible. Justin Styndl is an exceptional artist who really puts his heart and soul into his work. The more you collaborate with this particular artist with your vision, the more he will blow your mind with his own spin on what you’re trying to get done. I ask for big projects, so he has to envision what I am saying and draw it out, then we discuss it and come up with a sweet piece. He doesn’t cease to impress with his unique originality. So if you have unique ideas, and don’t want to go with the same old “rose on the hand” “bouquet of flowers” or other rather generic small pieces, Justin is definitely your artist. Or if you want those, then he will kill that as well. I just can’t express how well he can put together a large unique piece, that can turn out DARK and BADASS or LIGHT and BEAUTIFUL. He’s going to do my chest after my right arm. That’s called “Trust”. Be blessed and good luck on your ink.

Amazing artists very talented and nice. The place itself has that great tattoo parlor vibe that anyone should experience while getting an epic piece of art put on their bodies. I personally will continue to get all of my artwork done by Cardinal Ink only.
