Hi, we’re Deano and Erin Cook and we want to thank you for calling and/or considering Sink or Swim Studio and Gallery your tattoo, piercing and permanent cosmetic home. We’re proud and honored to be the longest running tattoo and piercing studio in Cobb County, GA. Operating in the same location since 1995, our core values have never changed. Deano’s mom used to say “give the people good service and a quality product and you won’t go wrong”. She was right then and we still stand behind that very premise today!
We’re often asked why we changed the name to “Sink or Swim” and simply put we’re a husband and wife team that takes chances and believes in the power of achieving anything you set your mind to. Just keep swimming.
We’re professional underwater photographers and Scubapro Global Dive Team Members focused on spreading our love of sharks, sea turtles and the importance of protecting our oceans through our photography, videography, Deano’s beautiful oil paintings and what he is world renown for, realism tattoos.
At Sink or Swim we are surrounded by a team of extremely talented and highly respected tattooers and piercers in the industry. In fact some of our artists and piercers have been with us building relationships and earning the trust of clients for over 22 years. It is our guarantee to give every client an exceptional experience, leaving with a one of kind, high quality product.
Thank you for checking out our website. We hope to “SEA” you in the studio soon.

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.

Everyone here is so professional. The studio is clean, tastefully appointed, and was even beautifully decorated for the holidays as well. Chet did an amazing reconstruction on my floral half sleeve, and then added some additional flowers. Absolutely stunning. I loved having the other artists in and out looking at the progress, and everyone was so kind to offer me something to drink and make sure I was comfortable. This was nothing short of a stellar experience and I will definitely be referring everyone I know. My best tattoo experience ever.
