This was my third session with Willow and I'm still blown away by her work. We've been building out…read morea half-sleeve together, and I'm beyond happy with how it's coming along. The level of detail and thought she puts into every piece is incredible. Whether it's color work, shading, or fine detail--she just gets it. (Photos attached so you can see what I mean!) Willow is everything you'd want in an artist--super talented, easy to talk to, collaborative, and insanely patient. She really works with you to make sure your vision comes to life, and honestly, the end result has been even better than I imagined. Her attention to detail and ability to blend different elements into one cohesive piece is just next-level. The shop itself is awesome too. The whole environment at Sink or Swim is welcoming, friendly, and laid-back in the best way. Gary (the owner) sets a great tone, and all the artists follow suit. I've had people stop by mid-session just to compliment Willow's work--it's a super encouraging and positive place to be in. My next session will focus on adding more color and shading, and I genuinely can't wait. I'll definitely be back for more work with Willow down the line. If you're looking for a shop with great energy and artists who truly care about the work they're doing--Sink or Swim is it.

We were helped by Clover as soon as we walked in, she answered every question and was patient with our indecisiveness while choosing jewelry. She explained the post care in great detail that even a 4 year old can do it. Raven was the one who did the piercings. She has steady hands and made sure we felt comfortable. Getting pierced can be a bit nerve racking but SLO piercing helped ease our minds. Great job to Clover and Raven. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

They have been in business for over 20 years and all their artists are professionally licensed. You can make an appointment or walk in. I was a walk in and I was helped by Marisa and Nicolette.

Had to take it out today because I went to a different piercer to get a different bar and she told me I should take it out because of how crooked it was. The lady that pierced me was very nice and comforting but the quality and safety of what she did is not okay. And the tongue is a very serious thing to pierce and it should be taken seriously. I understand everyone makes mistakes but she shouldn't have let me walk out seeing how crooked it was. I've never left a review on a business before but this kind of thing is too important not to share. Everyone was very friendly so no issue on that.
