The guys at the front desk were really nice and they followed all covid protocols so I knew I was in good hands. I was greeted with a warm welcome from kali and she helped me pick out my jewelry. She was so kind from start to finish and reassured me that I would have the most comfortable experience. She was informative and honest which is something everyone should look for in a piercer, you can tell that she loves what she does which put me at ease. She urged me to reach out to her via Instagram if I have any questions/run into any issues. Would definitely recommend sink or swim for all of your piercing needs.

Checked my pic's offered advice and scheduled me for later in the afternoon. Terry received me at 4 and set up shop. Had great chair-side manner and made me (and my wife) feel comfortable. He was a good guy and had a very light hand....didn't hurt much at all. He even let me use his phone charger while we worked! Rabbit came back and checked up on us also and chatted us up a bit more. 30 min in the chair and done. Tatt looks great ..... and feels good this morning. Just touched it for the first time, I can barely feel it, my skin isn't even raised. Colour looks great. I'm very happy. Would recommend the shop and both of the men that I dealt with. True pros!

Re: Steel N Ink WATERLOO…read more RUN AWAY FROM THIS STUDIO! Billing practices are highly questionable! Staff will quote one price and you could be charged something completely different and arbitrary! There is zero flexibility with respect to compromise and/or customer satisfaction. I was quoted $180 for the work I inquired about and was subsequently charged $360 plus tax. They refuse to problem-solve over the phone (i.e., Sarah Taylor) and prefer to play on the defensive, rather than acknowledge miscommunication. Highly disappointing. Sarah suggested that she prefers emailing so they can better track the complaint process - a perfect avoidance tactic and signs of questionable leadership. All in all, this shop is seemingly more interested in the bottom line, rather than offering accurate and clear information (either over the phone, on their website, or via email). I am happy to share my email communications with anyone contemplating using this shop for their next tattoo. RUN AWAY AND RUN FAST! #SteelNInk

customer service:…read more backstory, i was asking an artist about the removal of the second skin and how sometimes they are sticky residue afterwards (which I called about on my back). I spoke to a gentleman named Travis. and he was more than helpful and asking other artists around the shop on my behalf to give me steps to remove it. definitely helped me out. wish i had him as my artist, he was very kind and a patient.
