So I was in town when I accidentally ripped out my nose piercing and it ended up closing up. I knew…read moreI wanted to get it re pierced but I was really nervous because I remembered how badly it hurt when I got it done the first time (different piercing shop). So I ended up going to Divine Moment tattooing. Upon arrival, I was impressed by how neat the tattoo shop was and how they were quick to acknowledge me. Getting the piercing was fairly quick and it was a way better experience at this shop. The piercer was very sanitary and professional. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone who is interested in getting a piercing!

To walk in, you need to call and they'll put you in the waitlist, I called literally 36 times, and…read morethe call didn't even give me the dial tone, then I tried to knock the door, but nobody responded. There was people inside, and I don't think it was something on purpose against me, but it's something that needs to be fixed, I wasted 50 minutes waiting for nothing. It's just weird, they got an "Open" sign in the door, but apparently it's closed.

A week ago I went to Cardinal Skin to get a Taylor Swift flash tattoo. They told me there was a…read morelong wait list so I put my name on the list and got a call back hours later in the day. I arrived at the studio and I filled out all of the paperwork and then Karissa started tattooing me. We had great conversation but when she started tattooing me that's when I got nervous. I have a lot of tattoos and some smaller and I haven't had any get done this quickly. During the tattooing process everything was fine but after she was done and was putting on my saniderm she didn't wear gloves, which is extremely unsanitary. The next few days after getting my tattoo I noticed that most of the ink had fallen out and it was flaking off. I was taking very good care of it and moisturizing it. Now, a week later I can see that the letters aren't filled in and that blowout is already starting in some places. It is also raised from the skin a lot, which has never happened with any of my other tattoos. I know it was a long day and I am trying to be sympathetic but a professional should know when to end the day in order to still have nice looking work. I was already prepared to go the next day. I really regret getting this tattoo and wasting $80 on it.

i've had the pleasure of not only being a client, but also a friend of the cardinal for many years…read more You will not find a more talented group of artists/genuine souls who care about both their incredible art works as well as the people and community they serve. The crew here makes you feel at home the second you walk through their doors. I have many pieces of skin art from artists around the world; no one beats the cardinal.

Zach did my tattoo, it was a great experience and he had a light hand so it didn't hurt (almost…read morefell asleep ), everything autoclaved and gloves to ensure it's perfectly safe/clean. It feels like the lines and shading will be exactly as expected once healed, this was my 8th tattoo and had bad experiences elsewhere, so happy with this one! In addition on day two, it's not red as others I've had previously that had issues, which means it's healing nicely. I highly recommend him. I also want to recommend the piercer (I don't remember her name ) I got lucky she was available each time I was there and was able to get amazing earrings for my previous piercings... she was knowledgeable and very professional as well as put them in without any problems. Also, they followed up to get me scheduled when I asked, I always remember things later than when places are open so it was a blessing to have them call me! Highly recommend them! My second tattoo was also done by Dogstar in 1998, they were great then and even better now!

I am actually shocked at the difference between the service I'm used to when I lived in Durham and what I dealt with today. This place has gone down downhill. I just got hung up on by one of the most aggressively ignorant human beings I've ever encountered in customer service. People like this are why I left Durham and why I will never go back there. The original owner used to be an amazing person and that store used to be an amazing place but I wouldn't go near that establishment now.

The 1st time they put a small bar in and the 2nd time they put an eye brow piercing in with just belly button piercing balls. My piercing had no room to heal or breath.

I come in to see my mother and Damon talking and my mother showed me their Instagram profile. After seeing his portfolio, I immediately booked a same day appointment for later on that evening because the work was impressive. I showed back up and he was very attentive to all the details I wanted, which was crucial for this piece. I got the Joestar birthmark tattoo from the Jojo's Bizzare Adventures manga. The actual tattooing was such a breeze and Damon's vibes during this process was perfection. I'm excited to say I found my new tattoo home and plan on coming back for more pieces soon.

Overall, my piece took about 2 hours to complete and was a dedication to my aunt for Mother's Day. Upon entry, I would've preferred a quicker and more friendly greeting. I was not acknowledged immediately, although staff members were standing within sight. I think there could be a better system for guests, especially new customers. My friend who accompanied me received a piercing. The individual conducting piercings for the day was pleasant and well informed. He allowed for my friend to feel comfortable and ultimately have a smooth transaction. Her process took about 45 minutes with aftercare and preparation included. I might return for other work but was content with the outcome. I can agree with some other posts of pricing being a bit expensive depending on the artists and desired service.
