Rising Tides

The only place I go to get pierced now, even living almost 2 hours away! Sarvas has been so incredible with every visit, and even helped me fix a struggling tragus job from another piercer. 100% recommend the service here, and hope to be coming back soon!

Sarvas is the best hands down. If you’re looking for professional quality, friendly service, & an overall amazing experience, then make this your one stop chop for all your piercing & tattoo needs. I would give 10 stars if I could.

Sarvas was incredible. so considerate of time and energy. as someone who’s had many piercings over the years this was the quickest, cleanest, friendly experience i’ve ever had anywhere. follow the booking prompt on the website and just do it! you won’t be disappointed. 😌

Had a fantastic experience being pierced by Sarvas! They made me feel so comfortable and were super patient and encouraged me to take my time deciding on the placing/jewelry. I was laughing dang near the whole time. Best piercing experience yet. 10/10 recommend

Love this place! Ive gotten an ear piercing and several tattoos here. Both Leo and Sarvas are super nice and fun to be around. Make the whole process easy and enjoyable. A fun, inclusive environment that I highly recommend.

My experience here was great. The atmosphere was very calm and relaxed. The shop was very clean and professional looking. The piercing artist Sarvas was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He did a great job piercing my sons ears, answering questions, and explaining after care instructions. I would definitely go back here for future piercings. 🙂

Sarvas is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and quick! Would definitely recommend Rising Tides for any piercings. 10/10, thank you!

Sarvas is a rad human being & professional piercer! Our conversation was great and my piercing, jewelry experience was 10/10! Pricing is also excellent so definitely get the jewelry you want (the selection is great too) and tip your friendly neighborhood professional piercer. Affordable, quick and painless process. Can’t go wrong choosing Rising Tides! I’ll definitely be back to see Sarvas.

Had a great experience! Sarvas was awesome and made it a quick, simple experience with a great outcome. I love my new piercing! Thank you! 😊

This place is awesome. It’s bright, clean, colorful, owned and run by spectacular humans. Make an appointment online. The website says they take walk ins. The phone message says they don’t. They do take walk ins, but scheduled appointments have priority. Very reasonably priced. Great quality. 10/10 would recommend.

The best piercing and tattoo experiences Ive ever had!! Sarvas and Leo are extremely professional and extremely talented. Theyre understanding of your needs and will make sure you feel comfortable and cared for in their shop. I wouldnt ever go anywhere else but here for my body mod needs!!!

I’ve been coming here for my tattoos (and piercings) since they opened and will keep coming back! Fast, high quality work, cool people, 10/10 recommend and I always bring my friends here.

I’ve gotten many piercings from this location and I’ve always had good experiences. The piercer has a lot of experience and was very informative when offering after-care maintenance suggestions. When I’ve had questions and concerns she’s gotten back to me quickly. I also appreciate their queer friendly environment by putting pronouns on their forms. Highly recommend!!

What a great space! I came here about a month ago to get my daith pierced and was very nervous about the pain and healing process (as none of my other non-lobe piercings have ever healed right) but Sarvas put me at ease!! She is super knowledgeable and somehow the piercing didn’t hurt at all. The healing process has been the easiest I’ve ever experienced, and I will definitely be back!!

Sarvas and Leo are amazing at what they do, theyre both incredibly professional and personable at the same time. The shop has a very homey, welcoming atmosphere as well. Absolutely cannot recommend them enough, you wouldnt catch me dead going anywhere else.

Ive had great service and help with all my piercings. Sarvas is the best piercer in town!

I love this location he made me feel very comfortable I was nervous about getting a mouth piercing but he talked me through it and we got it done. The price was really affordable and I love how it turned out!! Thank-you Sarvas I will come back If I need anymore piercings done!!

My daughter really wanted her ears pierced again after they got infected the last time (not from here, I’ll give a hint.. rhymes with Mlaires) I love how they start out with asking them questions to make sure they are fully comfortable with going through with the piercing. It shows they truly care about your children and don’t want them to be pushed into something they really don’t want to do. Sarvas was the one who pierced her ears and there was laughter, jokes and total comfort the entire appointment (which In fact went quickly because Sarvas is a pro). Anyway- highly recommend to friends, highly recommend here! And not to mention, my daughters ear started acting up one day months and months later after the piercing, they were so quick to message me back and give me tips and tricks and her ear is back to normal. Thanks Rising Tides, we love ya over here!

Got pierced here, it was pretty cool. Sarvas was really cool. We talked about the 1982 Blockbuster hit E.T. for a few minutes after the piercing. I really enjoyed their take on Elliott and E.T.s relationship. I give them 5 stars. The piercing was great as well.

I was actually terrified to get my nose pierced. But Sarvas was just who I needed to get the job done! Very professional and put me at ease. It was over and done with before I knew it. The pain was barely a 1. Way less painful for me than getting my earlobes pierced. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

I got my eyebrow and lip pierced here and it was fast, clean and painless as well as very well priced. i had to get a longer bar for my lip piercing because I was worried about the initial swelling and they were very understanding and changed the jewelry in less than 5 minutes. i would definitely recommend

Sarvas did my nostril piercing recently and I am so happy with it. Perfect placement and its been healing with no issues. Highly recommend you do your piercings here.

THIS PLACE IS SO WONDERFUL!!! I went in to get my first helix piercing done (I’ve only had my lobes done before) and Sarvas was so kind and welcoming. They made the appointment feel so relaxed comfortable, I would trust them with any and all of my future piercings. AND they were just such a nice person to talk with both during and after the piercing!! Absolutely would recommend anyone come here to get something down ❤️❤️

SARVAS IS AMAZINGShe is so very knowledgeable and genuinely such a good human in general as well as the best human to be pierced by. Dont go anywhere else to get stabbed, ever! This is the place.

Sarvas did an amazing job at making me feel comfortable during my spontaneous decision to get my septum pierced. Made sure I was aware that my nose isn’t super straight and that it might look crooked when I tilt my head back, I wasn’t scared about that as long as it looked straight facing someone. I had absolutely no issues and it didn’t hurt much at all, thank you for the amazing job you did! It looks so great, I wouldn’t take it back 😊

Sarvas was great at putting me at ease and getting through the piercing quickly. I was very impressed to find out the piercings had been done simultaneously, and theyre perfectly lined up. Sending aftercare instructions in e-mails is a great move and much appreciated. Im looking forward to having my jewelry swapped out in a couple months and Ill definitely come back here if I decide to get more piercings in the future.

Sarvas was great and put me to ease right away. I wanted to get my ears re-pierced, and even though I had a bit of scar tissue, Sarvas had no problem dealing with it at all.I got a lobe piercing with the cheapest jewellery Rising Tides had, which was a plain metal ball. The total price was $103.50, with the piercing ($40), jewellery ($50), and minimum 15% tip added up.

Sarvas has done three of my piercings and I had zero issues with any of them and had such an awesome experience both times I went to see her. Ken did my most recent tattoo and I was so happy I’m going back for another one. This shop is clean and professional but overall is just an awesome and inviting experience for piercing and tattoos with knowledgeable talent!

Sarvas was absolutely amazing! I just got my septum pierced and had a little help with my seconds since I had trouble getting piercings in them. Sarvas kept me entertained, the mood and environment was light and relaxing! Overall a fantastic experience! Greatly recommend going here and I’ll be coming back for more in the future!

Sarvas did such a wonderful job piercing my kid’s ears and brought so much ease, calm, and humor to the experience for my little one. I especially appreciated how Sarvas clearly articulated to my kid to speak up at any point in the process if it was too much or they weren’t ready and that my kid could always come back another day if that happened. My kiddo was brave and very ready, but her words really modeled what a safe environment feels like. She was also super responsive to a follow up question I had after the fact. Highly recommend!

Excellent place for first timers. Patient and knowledgeable staff that will explain the services to you, and make sure that you are comfortable with everything going on.

My smiley cost $50 and it was done and over so quick! Really recommend

Nice experience for a first piercing, was a bit nervous and didnt realize my nostrils were wonky going in for a septum, but this was adjusted for and the placement was perfect I think, without much pain and zero bleeding so far.

My daughter had three ear piercings done and was pretty nervous. Sarvas made her laugh and feel comfortable and was really nice and professional. I decided to come in myself a few days later to get MY piercings done(I didn’t like the placing from when I had them done as a kid) and I had a great experience as well. Sarvas gives you plenty of time to be sure you’re happy with what you’re having done, and had us laughing the whole time too. She’s also great about responding quickly if you have questions later! We definitely recommend!

I came in with my 10 year old daughter to get her ears pierced and my nose. We couldnt have had a better experience! She was pretty nervous about getting pierced, but Sarvas gave her the rundown of what to expect, gave her the choice to opt out if she wanted to stop, and she didnt even flinch when it was through. A huge difference from her last experience elsewhere. Sarvas is professional, fun, and knowledgeable. My piercing was also great! From the time we made the appointment to the end, their customer service was exceptional. So glad we have Rising Tides in Corvallis for piercing!

Sarvas was incredibly helpful! High Priestess has been my normal piercing studio, but I was having a hard time making an appointment right away and was unsure about their walk-in policy for a jewelry change (no actual piercing taking place), and they dont answer their phones. Rising Tides answered the phone immediately and I was able to get in almost right away. The price for solid gold jewelry was significantly cheaper, and is high quality. Overall, it was a great experience, and it will be my new home studio in Corvallis. COVID safe, adorable studio, and kind people.

Highly recommend!! Amazing experience!! I came in to get a second matching set of nose piercings and Sarvas did an incredible job. She took time to make sure they were set nicely and even. I also was so excited by the jewelry options!! I was able to match my existing opal jewelry perfectly 💖

I came into the shop to get my septum done and had a fantastic time. The service I received was fast, professional, and comfortable. Sarvas detailed what was going on and explained the process as it was happening, and very prompt with answering any questions I had. What more could you expect from a business other than to treat their customers well and courteously.Will gladly return for any other piercing or jewelry needs.

Leo & Sarvas are simply the best. I followed Sarvas from their previous piercing studio to their new studio because they’re just THAT amazing. While getting multiple piercings, I connected with Leo and he has now done 3 beautiful tattoos on me. Could not recommend them enough. ❤️❤️❤️

Great experience all around! Rising Tide is an awesome little shop, they did a great job on my piercing. Super friendly, fun, and kind, definitely made for a good piercing experience. Very clean and safe feeling, and gave very clear after care instructions. Reasonable prices and great service. They even helped me when I thought I was going to faint! Awesome small local business to support!!! Cant recommend them enough!!!

I came to get a piercing by Sarvas and she was like most GENTLE piercer I’ve ever had. She was so knowledgeable and honest with me and she talked me through everything. She’s so easy to talk to and so funny and sweet. I got my second holes done and after two days theyre no longer sore and they’re healing so nicely. I HIGHLY recommend coming here for any piercing or tattoo. I’ll always make a trip from Eugene to come here!!

Awesome service! Atmosphere was great. I got a third lobe piercing on each ear and one cartilage piercing. Sarvas was very helpful! It did not even hurt and happened fast. Will return here in the future!

Got a piercing as a gift for my partner. Process was so awesome! Savros was kind, professional, courteous, and kept everything low pressure and kept up a great small talk conversation. Definately knows his trade and made for a very excellent experience. Truly is LGBTQIA friendly and the shop is full of light even on a rainy day. Will be going again for future piercings!Savros even made sure to add a week by week expectancy for care of product.

I was running about 5 min late- don’t do that! (Make sure you are on time) Sarvas was great. She answered EVERY question, mirrored my energy, answered every worry and was phenomenal. I immediately felt comfortable and reassured. I got 2 piercings- they are STRAIGHT, clean and masterfully done. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you! I’m excited for the healing process and I’m positive I’ll be updating this post with great results. Thanks again!

My sister and I spontaneously decided to get helix piercings. We had the best experience with Sarvas! Loved how it turned out and also felt incredibly comfortable. All of our questions were answered and lots of laughs calmed the nerves.

Sarvas is so incredible. She went above and beyond to make sure my jewelry was going to fit me right and talked to me about the industry! And she is so funny and personable.

Ive gotten multiple piercings and 1 tattoo from Rising Tides. Each experience I have is so incredible! Lots of fun in a safe, clean, and professional environment. Amazing service and amazing people!! I will be going back for more piercings and tattoos in the future, highly recommend. Thank you Sarvas and Ken!

Great artists both very talented and friendly. All around a great shop for both your tattoo and piercing needs! highly recommended

It’s always a little scary for me to get tattoos and piercings! However, nothing eases that anxiety more than the piercer or tat artist. These people were the best people I’ve ever been too! Sarvas was so nice and funny and really made the whole experience great. So recommend!!

Absolutely fantastic experience! I came in not knowing what to add to my collection of piercings and left with three amazing additions. Studio is clean and comfortable. The piercing itself was quick, easy and very sanitary. Prices were awesome too. I will absolutely be returning again

Got my septum pierced here a week ago. Was able to make an appointment that day. The service was fantastic and calming. They made sure I was comfortable and at ease. The entire experience was quick and I left feeling good about it. Will be back soon.

Great experience. The pierced was extremely friendly and chill. The atmosphere is exceptionally welcoming. Prices were good. Even gave me free advice on aftercare for a tattoo Id gotten a few days ago somewhere else. I definitely plan to go back!

Sarvas is amazing & so personable!! She did a fantastic job on the piercings I got, they healed so well and the appointment went super smoothly. Would 100% go back or recommend to anyone!

This shop is very clean, and the staff is extremely friendly and professional. Sarvas is the best piercer in the Willamette valley and makes the process as painless as possible. They also have a great jewelry selection and go above and beyond to give you a piercing/ tat that youll love. Highly recommend.

Not only was the initial contact prompt, detailed, and professional, the studio itself is very clean and they made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I wont hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking for any piercing services. They worked with me on my schedule and got me in quickly.

I was so pleased with my experience earlier today! I felt comfortable asking questions and was pleased with the very reasonable prices. Sarvas was extremely easy to talk to, and had an impressive collection of plants!!! will be back for more soon :))

Sarvas is great at what he does and is just a super cool dude! Definitely will be back and would recommend.

Sarvas is the best piercer in Corvallis! I came in for a smiley piercing and had an amazing experience. Sarvas is very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly which made for a great visit. I will definitely be back here for my next piercing! Thank you :)

Fantastic shop and artists! I got a tattoo from Ken and I truly could not be happier with how it turned out and my experience at Rising Tides. Sarvas and Ken and both so kind and welcoming. Definitely appreciated how inclusive they are and how comfortable I felt in the space. If youre looking for high quality artists and a comfortable/inclusive environment, Id highly recommend them!

Absolutely great experience!! I typically go to high priestess in Corvallis but I wasn’t able to get the glass retainers I needed even though I had called prior and they said they had them. I found rising tides online randomly and will continue to go back!! Sarvas was so great! I am officially a lifetime costumer🤩

This would be a 5/5 if both times I went (once for my friend and once for me) I didnt end up waiting 10 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. Being friendly is not a bad thing for someone in customer service, but it doesnt garner you any points when people show up on time and then have to wait past the time of their appointment because the staff is too busy chatting with the person before you, after they finished their piercing. I will say that the person who did my piercing managed to do two at once, reducing the time it took and the pain of having to have two piercings done back to back. Very skilled piercer, but dont expect to get in or out on time.

Sarvas is the best, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for piercings. I’ve also got tattoos from Ken, who’s absolutely amazing and talented. He’s so easy to work with when trying to get the right design and placement. Both of them only accept perfection, nothing less. 11/10 recommendation.

The best tattoo/piercing place ive been to! the atmosphere is super comfortable and nice, piercings are professional and quick. every time i visit oregon i go here. Sarvas is amazing and really helpful, shes my favorite piercer to go to. would recommend this place to anyone!

I got my septum pierced in about 5 minutes and was talking about pokemon for the rest of the appointment. Most piercings I have seen look worse but Sarvas cleaned and pierced in seconds, which if it is your first piercing, is about a quarter the pain of stubbing your toe. Great place and will be visiting if I ever pierce again!

I wish I could stay in Corvallis so I didnt have to go anywhere else but here. Sarvas and Ken have always made me feel very comfortable and I am very pleased with the outcome of all of my visits. I highly recommend Rising Tides for tattoos and piercings.

Sarvas was so amazing! I got two helix piercings on the same ear. pierced them both at the same time. I barely even felt it. It happened so fast. Will come back again.

I cant recommend Rising Tides enough! Ken did my first tattoo and made me laugh through the whole thing. Ive also gotten ear piercings from Sarvas and shes a total pro, plus lovely to talk to! If personable professionals are what you want, look no further ⭐

They dont even serve hot dogs.... would not recommend as a place to eat.

I went to this shop for the high ratings and liked the price as well. The piercer did not use a guide or clamp to do my septum. He only used the halo needle an his fingers. he said, Theres really only one spot for it to go. So, I trusted his knowledge on it. After he was done, I said it looked crooked. As in one side is higher up on the inside. Its at an angle. He told me it was just how it looked swollen, and from the straight on view it was straight to the eye . But now as it has healed enough for me to see it is definitely not straight. The right side is higher up on the inside on angles down on the left in my left nostril. I wouldnt recommend this shop if you want things done properly. No the jewelry is not the problem, it is at an angle from the top where the piercing was done. I have put in a ring an the ring does not sit straight because the holes arent even. I had said in the shop it was crooked an I was told its not. I voiced my concerns an that was the time it should have been fixed. I do not live near here so I am not able to just pop on over.

Sarvas pierced both of my ear lobes and my septum and both experiences were great!! I will always come back to them for my piercings and for any tattoos, as well! Every question was answered and every worry met with reassurement and resolution. Excellent communication from start to finish.

Absolutely WONDERFUL! Sarvas was the best piercer I have ever met. They were very professional, friendly, and considerate. I will always be going here from now on! Thank you :)

I got my earlobes pierced again and Sarvas was incredible! Super professional, answered all my questions, and easy to talk to. Atmosphere is great and prices are reasonable! Would come here again.

Super friendly and knowledgeable. Ive come here twice now for my piercing and jewelry removal and highly recommend!

Had a great experience - Sarvas is a friendly, professional, and kind person. Highly recommended! Thanks for the piercing!

Please disregard my name I didn’t realize it would show up, I created an account just to make this reviewGo here if you want a wonderful experience getting a piercing! The owner is a wonderful guy and helped me change out 6 pieces that I would consider difficult as they healed weird ect. He is very knowledgeable and just great atmosphere overall. There’s a reason this business has all 5 starts.

I got a rook peircing here and Sarva is great! Really new his stuff and helped me pick the best position for my piercing. Definitely will come back.

Always such a great time!! Ive gotten two tattoos by Ken and they are PERCECT! A few piercings by Sarvas and couldnt be happier :) These two make the experience fun, safe and easy!

Only place i’ll ever go for piercings, great service 🧡

My daughter and I had an excellent experience. Sabris is a very professional, experienced and personable. I reccomend Rising Tides for all your piercing needs!

Sarvas is AMAZING. Super fun and knowledgeable. Always recommends the best placement and does her best to make you look the best! I recommend Rising Tides to all my friends!

My fiancé had her eyebrow pierced and ears gauged at High Priestess about 3 months ago. She developed a bump on her eyebrow and one on the back of one ear. We thought they might be cysts or keloids and she has gone to the doctor 3 times for them and we couldn’t get back in to HP to get it checked out today. Rising Tides was available and Sarvas was amazing! Super friendly, outgoing, makes you feel comfortable and just was so knowledgeable. We didn’t think whoever we went to see would do anything about it, but we were wrong with him. He knew exactly what those bumps were and got rid of them! She’s been so self conscious about them and no one would do anything until him. She feels 1000x better and they look so much better. AND he didn’t even charge us to remove them or see us. 10/10 def recommend him. He’s superior to other piercers we have both used in the past.

My experience here was amazing. For my first tattoo, I was super nervous but they made me feel relaxed and like it wasn’t a big deal. They talked me through the whole process which also made it a lot better!

Sarvis does an amazing job at making you feel comfortable as well as making your piercing experience go as smooth as possible. Highly recommend!!

Incredible service!I was having a hard time putting my eyebrow stud back and they provided quick and excellent service. Also ordered new jewelry on my request and inserted it free of charge. Highly recommend 👍

The best place to get tattoos and piercings in Corvallis, Oregon! They know what they’re doing, very professional, and are extremely talented and creative individuals. They are passionate about their art and it definitely shows in the quality and excellent experience here.

Some pretty awesome people work here, so welcoming and friendly and funny. The spot to go for your piercing and tattoo desires!! Dont go to a shop with lames, come to some real artists.

Sarvas will forever be the best! She came in on the day off to help get a piercing I desperately needed removed out. If that’s not the best I don’t know what is!

Sarvas is awesome at piercing,just got my double nose done a few days ago and I absolutely love it! Professional,clean,nice and friendly,I highly recommend this place 🤗

Amazing experience! I went in for a problem with a piercing that I got a while ago at a different place, and they went above and beyond to take care of me. I will definitely be going back for future piercings!

I’ve received my last 5 tattoos from Ken. I’ve trusted him to tattoo my head and face and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. He tattoos very swiftly & with crisp lines. Will continue to come here 10/10 would recommend.

I’ve been here a few times and I’ve had an absolutely wonderful experience every single time! Leo and sarvas are so sweet and accommodating!! I highly recommend and I will definitely return for more :)

Got my Medusa piercing done with Sarvas he was amazing and super friendly definitely would recommend going to rising tides for your piercing needs

Super comfortable, super safe space. Sarvas was great and has an amazing personality! Loved it and highly recommend

I went here for a vertical labret piercing and left having made a great connection (and piercing) with the amazing human that is Sarvas. This is the place to go!

Sarvas was super cool and didn’t try and trick me about the pain. Definitely recommend going here!!

LOVE IT! The shop is so pristine and cute. Sarvas is amazing and always makes getting pierced or swapped a pleasant experience!

Sarvas pierced me and she was excellent! Careful, meticulous, and very fun to be around. Go here, not High Priestess!!!

This place is lovely! very calm/welcoming environment, and my piercer Sarvas was really nice and professional! :)

Definitely would recommend, it is fun and comforting environment with awesome people:) Came in once for a tattoo a year ago and have been coming back religiously since

10/10 would recommend going here for any piercing! Absolutely loved the outcome and I will most definitely return in the future if I decide to get more piercings.

Septum was pierced incorrectly according to another piercing studio. The septum was pierced crooked and too low. I am super bummed.

He did a great job with my naval piercing and was very fast, it didn’t even hurt. I will 100% go back for any other piercings

I’ve gotten all of my piercings and tattoos from here. Seriously the best place I’ve been to very kind people and overall just a good environment!

Best shop. Love this shops. Such a nice shop. Nice people. 5 shops

My Ashley Piercing was quick and painless will most definitely go back for my next one and refer others

I was tattooed by Ken and had a great time! The conversation was great, shop was clean, and I left with an amazing tattoo. 10/10 would get tattooed here again.

Great place, great atmosphere, great people working. Ken has done many of my tattoos and I will always go back for more from him.

Super friendly, awesome, and knowledgeable piercer! Definitely want to go back and would recommend

10/10 recommend!! The environment was great and it was very relaxed. I felt very comfortable and couldn’t be happier with the results!

Amazing work, great atmosphere, cant beat it. Highly recommend for any piercing or tattoos.

Rising tides does great work and is incredibly professional and welcoming to the LGBTQ community.

I really trust Rising Tides! It really feels like they want the best for their customers.

Literally the best shop Ive ever been to. 10/10 would recommend both Leo and Sarvas ❤️

Knowledgeable owner, reasonable prices. Doesnt try and push products on you like Ive experienced at other shops in town

He was extremely welcoming and helpful, fair pricing, and great jewelry

Great friendly and fast service, very easy to book an appointment with.

The go-to spot in the Corvallis area for Body Piercing and Tattooing. Highly suggested!

They just do it different here. Sometimes you get to eat Taco Bell.

Best place ever I would come back

Great experience with Sarvas!

Great atmosphere, good people and quality jewelry.

Extremely good at what they do!

Lovely place, couldnt ask for more.

My faves...GIMME JIMMY

Great work and super friendly!

Yup. Into it

The best

Love the artists and the atmosphere

Professional and clean
