Gary has done multiple tattoos on me and every single experience has been wonderful.My tattoos have all healed up well. The shop is comfortable and you always have the chance to watch a good movie while you’re tattooed (which is a great distraction)!Gary is kind, talented, and a wonderful tattoo artist. The other artists are also friendly. It’s an extremely warm and inviting environment. Highly recommend.

Walking into Sink or Swim Tattoo is like walking into a familiar place. Everyone who works there is friendly, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. Getting a tattoo there by Gary is a great experience. We pick a movie (usually a rad 80’s flick) and then catch up!Gary and his team at Sink or Swim are some of the best artists and I can’t wait to go back for another! Best shop on the Central Coast!Service: Tattoos

I've been going to Raisa since Feb of 2022. I've been addicted to going ever since. The 4 artist here are wonderful and I recommend each one. The vibe of the shop is amazing and i love coming in always can chat away and laugh with them. The movies that Gary picks are always great too. Raisa has done 11 of my tattoos and I'm never changing artist again, I love their creative mind always make my tattoo look way better then I could imagine.

This is a fun, clean, inviting shop with some amazingly talented tattoo artists! Gary was great to work with, and made my 'napkin' sketch idea into an amazing design. I can't wait to get started on the rest of my ideas!Services: Color ink tattoos

Just left this establishment with my sister who had an appointment to get a tattoo. This was the oddest and most offensive experience I've had at a professional business. My sister called me over to ask about the placement of some lettering and a music note because she wasn't sure about it. They (the tattoo artist) was playing around with the placement of the design. I said to my sister, "I don't know it does look a little strange there" maybe try inside over here instead?" The tattooist got in my face saying I was being rude and offensive towards her "artistry". I immediately apologized and said "I'm so sorry I was just referring to placement NOT the design at all, I didn't mean to offend you" She then proceeded to criticize me again.. and told my sister I had "aggressive energy".. (we are the chillest people on earth btw) .. they then said "I need a minute" and walked away.. so I told my sister I was going to the store next door so that she could have some space.. let's just say that my sister left as well. Communicating what you want on your body to a tattooist is a vital part of the conversation, I'm still not exactly sure why that was such an issue. In no way did we criticize their work.. it's just letters mostly in fact, not an original design, no pictures. Perhaps they were having a bad day, but still chose to be incredibly unprofessional. In fact, calling me rude and offensive was the actual offense.. it was uncalled for and completely out of left field.

Got my first tattoo last week with Raisa. I was very nervous, but what a great experience! The shop was extremely clean. Four artists working. Raisa spent a lot of time with me on my design, as well as thoroughly explaining each step as she proceeded. My questions were welcomed patiently. She was gentle throughout, gave frequent breaks, and asked often if any pain or discomfort. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Raisa to anyone wanting to get a tattoo.

I got a tattoo done by Raisa last Friday and they did amazing work with what I wanted, especially for my first tattoo. A couple of my friends got tattoos done by Adam and those turned out awesome too! Hopefully I will be able to get my next tattoo done at this shop! I loved the atmosphere and how not harsh the shop was. Good vibes all around!Services: Fine line tattoos

Loved this place. The people were so cool. Adam did outstanding work on my party frog peace. The flash art was spectacular. And the best choice of movies to get tattooed to.

Beautiful shop above a book store! I loved how friendly the staff was, and it felt so welcoming from the moment I walked in. I had my two year old with me, and they even gave her some paper with color pencils to color with while I got my piercing. I highly recommend them!! The shop was really clean and had great open lighting. The piercing didn't hurt at all, and it is so well placed!

Great experience! My bf and I were visiting Pismo beach for our anniversary and decided on a spontaneous matching tattoo. Sink or Swim tattoo were open for walk ins and had great reviews on Yelp. Raisa was open for walk ins and took my bf and I in. She was so kind and very accommodating and her fine line work was impeccable. We look forward to coming back for our 10 year anniversary to see her again. Thank you Raisa for taking us and for making our anniversary tattoo so memorable.
