Located in the quaint university town on the outskirts of Santa Barbara, Isla Vista is home to the Precious Slut. Blending in with the simple, beach structures, this is a low-key, but popular tattoo parlor with many extras. The outside is deceiving, since the inside is very upscale with spotless glass showcases and hardwood floors. Their large selection of artwork, experienced tattoo artists, and bright, clean surroundings make this the tattoo parlor of preference for both locals and out-of-towners. The staff is friendly, courteous and professional, and not in a hurry to sell you something before you are totally ready.

The Precious Slut is also a place for piercings. As with the tattoo artists, the person who does the piercings will take the time to explain the entire procedure, show you the spotlessly clean room where the piercings are done, answer questions and make sure you are entirely comfortable with the piercings you choose. The instruments are wrapped and sealed, so there is no doubt you are being pierced in the most sterile conditions. The price of the piercings, which are very reasonable, include the starter jewelry, follow-up care and medicated soap. Any questions or concerns about your new piercings can be answered over the phone or by dropping by the shop. Free jewelry changing is offered for anyone who has their piercings done at Precious Slut.

Comfortable couches beckon those waiting for friends or sit in the secluded patio for some people watching and fresh ocean breezes. If your partner in crime wants to watch you get your tattoo or piercing, there's plenty of room for that, too. The shop is open until midnight, except Fridays and Saturdays, when it's open til 2am, a feature which is appreciated by those enjoying the warm beach nights. The staff is very accommodating and wants your experience to be memorable for all the right reasons.

With the University of California at Santa Barbara within walking distance, the Precious Slut is popular with students looking for stylish beach style clothing, smoking accessories, glass art, and a beautiful selection of body jewelry, including gold and platinum.

Browsing is encouraged and visitors to the shop are warmly welcomed, regardless of age. Be forewarned that those wanting tattoos or piercings will be asked to show ID and fill out the appropriate paperwork.

Precious Slut in Isla Vista is one of three tattoo shops with this alluring name. The others are located in Las Vegas and Pahrump, Nevada. The company has been in business for 10 years, and with the multitude of rave reviews and return customers, their continued success is a given.

    Lol at Randy's comment. I'm not crazy about the name of this tattoo parlor but then...I wasn't crazy about the first time I saw a tattoo...on my son. But parents adapt (what choice do we have?)

    Interesting name! I'm sure that gets it some attention. Excellent review.

    "smoking accessories, glass art," Very nice. See, this is why you are so good at this stuff Rach! To me they're dugouts, pipes and way too expensive glass bongs! See, I really suck at the euphemism... I jus' wanna know if the "novelty clothing" is only swimming apparel, or can one find a leather bustier? I look good in them, ya know...
