I've gotten most of my tattoos done at ink dynasty (some by artists who aren't there anymore) and…read morehave been going there for close to a decade now. I now get tattooed by Tanner. He did my knuckles about 6+ years ago and they're still in perfect condition without any fall out. He's now done both arm sleeves, my head, my stomach and started a back piece. The shop is clean and the prices reflect the quality of work you get. Ink Dynasty will always be the highest caliber of shop on the coast hands down.

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.
