Sink or Swim Studio and Gallery

I had a really amazing experience with April, one of the piercers at Sink or Swim. She was beyond fantastic and real with me. She spent time to make sure I was comfortable and explained her process. The shop itself was super clean and friendly staff. I will now go to April for any piercings I need and recommend her to everyone I know. I can't wait to get up the nerve to also get a tattoo. I'm so thankful for April and her kindness and experience. It made my day and made the process a lot of fun.

Great experience for my daughter's ear piercing. April was genuinely kind to both my daughters and they appreciated her respect. She treated them like intelligent people instead of bothersome children. She answered all their questions, put my daughter at ease, and offered follow-up care if necessary. The front desk service was also super friendly and top notch. I'm glad to suggest Sink or Swim, and April, to other families for a clean, easy, professional piercing experience. Thank you for helping give my daughter a birthday to remember well.

The staff here is super nice! They seem super knowledgeable, organized and incredibly professional from the quick visit I had with them today. I want to get another piercing just to come back and spend time with them 😂.

Reason for visit (Piercing) : I got an industrial 2 months ago at another shop and started getting these bumps around the ends. My piercer (from the other shop) recommended I shorten the bar. I came here just to buy one but once taking a look at it, their piercer (Chris Steele) was able to explain to me the bar wasn’t the problem but that I should be cleaning my piercing more often. They explained to me why these bumps happen, recommended different methods to clean the wound properly, handled my ear very gently and made me feel super comfortable. I’ve been so nervous about this piercing and he/they was/were able to calm my nerves down in an instant. Everyone was just so nice and obviously really cared about their work. I wished I had come here the first time I got a piercing.

Summary: Come here if you want a piercing done. I know for a fact you’ll be in good hands.

Sink or Swim Studio is my go-to place to go get pierced. I have very high standards, cleanliness, the quality of jewelry, hospitality, and overall vibe and honestly this studio is the best. The staff is always so nice and welcoming and the range of jewelry they have is impeccable. The analytical part of the process ( paying, providing id, signing the waiver ) is all so professional and swift in the best way possible and as someone who gets super anxious the longer i wait, i really appreciate it.

I’ve gotten both nostrils and my tongue pierced by Chris and he is absolutely my favorite. He’s also done my girlfriends piercings ( nostril and snake bites ) and he’s always listened to me and her and our preferences on the process and has changed his approach accordingly. He’s super sweet, very thoughtful, and really makes the whole process absolutely wonderful!!

I love everyone here and this is absolutely my recommendation for a studio anytime and everytime i want something done!!

First of all, let me say the guy behind the desk was SUPER sweet and polite!

I went in for an emergency body jewelry replacement. The atmosphere is SUPER comforting, and you feel a bit like you're checking into a nice hotel spa instead of a tattoo/ piercing shop. Everyone I dealt with was VERY respectful and knowledgeable. This is definitely on my list of places to get art done when I'm in town!

I’ve gotten tattoos at several shops, but Sink or Swim is my favorite! Their space is incredibly clean and their staff is very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Chet was very quick to respond to emails, and he completely nailed the design I wanted. They really care about their clients and provide the best experience possible!

Got my first tattoo here today and had an amazing experience! Was honestly pretty nervous and didn’t know what to expect but as soon as i walked in i felt welcomed and the guy at the front desk was super nice. Danii did my tattoo for me and did an amazing job and could not be more happy! I recommend this place to anyone wanting a quality tattoo!

This was exactly what we were searching for when getting our 6-year-ear old's pierced. The staff was excellent; they were helpful, polite, and friendly. There was no coercion or pressure on our child. We needed some extra help a few weeks following the piercing, and April was ready to answer. We will return if our other child wishes to have their ears pierced as well.

Great experience. They’re the best for sure. Very professional and help me decide how to pull my idea together… so happy I returned here to fix other tattoo shop work…
Chris was amazing tattoo artist 👨‍🎨

April is amazing. Long story short I got my rook pierced at another shop for 10$ and after 3 days the jewelry came apart. In a panic, I came to Sink or Swim. She helped me pick out jewelry and cleaned and placed the new jewelry in. A year later I lost my jewelry(my fault) and came back. April again helped me and we even did another piercing! I can honestly say I barely felt it. She was great. Love the jewelry options. For those that say it's over priced...I strongly believe you get what you pay for. Which is exactly what I got my first time around. You should never go cheap with piercings.
