truly a lovely experience from start to finish. the staff were so nice, knowledge, and accommodating. there were so many beautiful jewelry options to pick from that varied in price, so there was something for everyone. ari was nothing short of a pleasure and made the nerve wracking experience of being pierced a delight. would recommend to anyone looking to get a piercing done! read more

Got my nose pierced and the service was so good made me feel not nervous the place was very clean and comfortable got to us in a manageable time and was just a good experience over all i'm definitely going back read more

I took my daughter into to get her ears pierced and Trevor did a freaking awesome job with her. He was really good about making sure she was in charge. He really talked to her on her level and did a great job piercing her ears. I would highly recommend. read more

Ari Pimsler is the NICEST piercer I have ever met. He was polite and cordial and everything a dude who works at a tattoo shop, in my experience, is usually not. Definitely a customer service experience I will not forget. Ask for Ari if you go here! I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because although this guy deserves 5 himself, the other people were more typical (again, in my experience) tattoo shop employees. They seemed slightly annoyed that you were there at all and clearly annoyed if you wanted to ask a question about jewellery. Sorry I have questions about foreign objects that may be passing through my body. I'll never get that... The shop itself was nicely decorated with lots of comfortable seating and looked very clean and sanitary. Anyway! TL:DR Ari Pimsler is the bomb.com, everyone else is pretty much what you would expect! read more

This is hands-down the best piercing establishment I have ever been to. If you happen to find yourself anywhere near the Eugene area, I highly recommend stopping by this location and making an appointment with Ari Pimsler. Out of the six piercers I have done business with in my life, Ari is by far the kindest, most gracious, and truly skilled of them all. He made me feel profoundly comfortable in every respect. It was such a pleasure to encounter this very high caliber human being. His warm, friendly, caring staff was also a genuine delight. I can honestly say that no matter how far the drive, I will be coming to Ari for all of my future piercing needs. (I have also had very positive experiences over the phone with several of the other locations while I was trying to track down some specific piercing jewelry, so the overall vibe with this company is one of quality all the way.) I am super grateful for my experience with this place, and look forward to the next time. Thank you Ari and High Priestess! read more

I went in and had my nose pierced, the piercer was very helpful and did a great job- i dont remember her name but she explained to me that i should wait to get a hoop so that it heals better and to give it 3 weeks to a month. I took extremely good care of my piercing because I really didnt want a keloid. I work in dental so its easy to do. My nose was healing so well and I loooved it!!! After a little over 3 weeks I went in to exchange my hoop expecting it to be a breeze- he took out my stud and i had zero sensitivity- when the guy went to close the hoop he pinched my nostril and piercing so hard using his fingers- no tools/instruments- that I actually screamed (i didnt even scream when i had it pierced) he stopped and then went back again and hurt me even more , he said he was closing the hoop together.... I immediately started developing a keloid and im close to devastated that my beautiful piercing is now damaged with a keloid. something so preventable. I paid $100 for this read more

The piercer Ari is so incredibly nice and helpful. He really cares about making sure you feel comfortable during the entire process. I had questions about future piercings and he spent time answering them for me. I will not go to anyone else for another piercing. He is a very genuinely nice person which is hard to come by. If you need a piercing I suggest asking for him!! read more

Great experience! Walked in today for a piercing. Felt very welcome and comfortable. Ari did my piercing and he was so friendly and informative. Would definitely return read more

Extremely disrespectful. A man with long hair who was working the counter didn't greet or welcome people in. Was pretty slow in the shop, not busy at all. As soon as I got to the counter he told me to not touch my earrings. First thing he said to me when I walked in. He failed to explain why to not touch my earrings. He just flat out told me it was a rule. He was unable to educate me why that was a rule. So I decided to go to the one on 6th street. They were super nice. Very respectful. Atmosphere was so much more positive. Very friendly place. Staff was great. So to everyone who doesn't know which location to go to I would highly recommend to go to the one on 6th. Street!!!! Unless you want to be treated poorly then go to 13th location read more

Got tattoo today from Anthony. He acted annoyed and like he didn't want to do it. It was a small tattoo - shouldn't be difficult & was not complicated. He was acting really put out & irritated which made me uncomfortable and like I couldn't give feedback without him being irritated. Not really happy with my tattoo will need to get more shading done to make it look like the photo I provided. Because of his attitude I didn't get want I wanted. Now i will have to pay more money somewhere else to get it right. I just wanted to get out of there! I would NOT recommend! read more

Staff at the counter was incredibly helpful, and piercer Ari was absolutely fantastic. I did a lot of research before finally pulling the trigger on a piercing I had been debating for a while and they did an awesome job graciously answering all of my questions thoroughly. I felt comfortable throughout and the facility is great too! Would definitely recommend and come here again. read more

Have been coming here for 3 years and recommending friends who haven't been disappointed. The artists are incredible, good variety in styles. The new shop on 6th is super clean and has great privacy in the individual artist areas. read more

I took my 14-year-old daughter here to get her ears pierced. Tigger was awesome! She was very meticulous, cheerful, experienced and confident -- she set both my daughter and me completely at ease. My daughter didn't flinch at all, and her new piercings look great! Thanks Tigger! read more

Jared is the man. He was great about talking to me and finding out what I really wanted for my piercing. He's taken great care of both my fiancé and myself! Counter help has always been great as well! read more

Ari is the best. I got a lip piercing yesterday from momento where they not only pierced it crocked and bruise my lip with clamps my lip was bleeding and was a nightmare. Thank God for Ari he removed it saving me from a bad mistake. I can't wait until my lip heals so he can pierce it the right way. read more

Absolutely love this shop! I've gotten all my piercings here! Ari has done them all and he's always very welcoming and makes you feel comfortable. Super professional while keeping things light and fun at the same time. read more

I an pretty satisfied with the service at this location the person at front was pretty friendly and the person who did my piercing too , I was a little hesitant to go to this place just because i seen some reviews about the other location being racist with customers luckily that was not the case at this place read more

Just took my 7 year old to get her ears pierced at the downtown location. Everyone was so welcoming and patient. They treated her with so much respect and explained the whole process. Ari even practiced breathing with her and was very reassuring. She was a champ and feels very good about her experience. Thank you!!! read more

We were just here excited to get a piercing done because we knew that the high priestess location by the U of O campus was really good. So we expected the same kind of service there but after waiting for an hour and 18 minutes we had given up. We were the first ones there when they opened the location. While waiting I had counted three other people being helped before I had. I for sure recommend the High Priestess location off of the university campus! The wait was nearly nonexistent and the person working won't put people in front of you. It's some bunk service at this location. So definitely spend the extra 5 minutes going down the street instead of wasting an hour here. read more

I got my 7 year-old's ear pierced by Ari and appreciated his nurturing personality, as well as swift, deft, and meticulous implementation of the piercing itself. I would highly recommend him for his skill, conscientiousness, and "bedside manner". He was also very attentive to cleanliness, such as changing his gloves even after a brief touch of his pocket for his phone. read more

I'm not one to really write reviews but this shop DESERVES ALL THE LOVE. If I could give them 6 stars, I absolutely would. I came into the store as a walk in and the staff was simply amazing. The sweet girl at the counter (Wish I would've gotten her name) was very sincere and professional while talking with me about what I was looking for and walking me through the paper work. She also went out of her way to have a conversation with me while I waited. I think she could tell I was a little nervous and made me feel worlds better. I had an old nostril piercing that was pierced very far back into the crease of my nose by another (shady) shop a few years ago and was bothering me both aesthetically and physically. Ari was so genuine and professional with talking to me about choices of piercings and walked me through everything. He even went as far to mark where I would eventually put a hoop in and made sure I was 100% satisfied with the placement. He changed out my old stud to a smaller, more delicate jewel and added a second piercing just below. Hands down the MOST GENTLE piercing I have ever gotten. Even the day after I had minimum swelling and I can hardly notice it even being there. My last piercing (from a different lousy shop) was extremely painful and took weeks to feel normal. Not this time!! I am blown away by this place. I absolutely love my nose now and I can't say enough amazing things about Ari and the downtown Eugene staff! Thank you all so much! read more

My wife has many piercings and we've always had a great experience at High Priestess. This time (4/7/18) we had a piercer named Sarvas. He was super nice and we had a good time but when it came to piercing, not so fun. He misread the paper and pierced her nose with the wrong stud. No problem, except when he went to change it out for the right one, his hands were shaking SO MUCH that it took him 4 tries and about ten minutes to get it in. She said it was so painful! But alas, she loves her piercing and it looks great. Just some extra pain that she wasn't stoked about. Oh and as we were leaving, he blamed us for "letting him pierce her with the wrong one in the first place". So, that was awkward. Not the best experience. read more

Incredibly judgmental, overpriced, and arrogant piercers..I have not gotten a tattoo there, so I can not speak to their work or attitude..but I am appaled at the lack of professionalism. The first time I went they refused to pierce me without giving me a reason..I had my 1.5yo with me and they assumed (based on what I'm not entirely sure-I'm a single mom and was tired sure )but I'm sure it actually boils down to that the piercer knew my slanderous ex. They need to keep the judgmental bs OUTSIDE of a place of business. Someone else summed it up best- they don't care about you or wether u are in their store. Thumbs waay down. read more

High Priestess fosters a professional and clean piercing environment. Making their clients feel listened to and safe at all times. I pierced my nose for the first time and was very thankful I went to High Priestess. The process was easy and my piercing healed quickly! read more

Joshua Hood one of the artist took my deposit and never drew up my tattoo or texted me back or answered my calls.I would not recommend this place at all. Staff is so rude and the tattoo artists are flakey. read more

I got a piercing there awhile back, and it is badly done, my ear is somewhat deformed, and have skin that grew over the earring, I would not recommend anybody get a piercing from them they did a botched job on my ear and I am forever deformed because of them. read more

I stopped in to get my nose re-pierced. If I could give Ari and Katelyn 10 stars I would. Katelyn was super nice and very helpful from the second I walked in the door. Ari was gentle, professional, kind, and efficient. It took 25 min for me to walk in, do paperwork, get pierced, and check out. Amazeballs. read more

I had a great experience last week at this High Priestess location. The girls working at the front counter were helpful and knowledgeable and my piercer Jared was exceptional. The location was immaculate and attractively decorated. I considered subtracting a star because there is very little parking room this will not keep me from returning. No better place for piercing in Eugene! read more

Tattoo artist Rob was kind, professional and did a great job. However, the person at the front --Rosetta -- was rude and condescending and her rude comments took the fun out of the whole experience. I would go back for Rob, but if Rosetta's at the front I'll turn around and walk out the door. read more

I previously had a nose piercing and I came in to get my other nostril pierced. My piercer worked on getting my new piercing even with the other one I already had for 10 minutes so I figured they for sure would be even. But no! I thought they were only off because it was a bit swollen but after a couple weeks I now realize that they are totally uneven on the outside and inside of my nostrils. Waste of my time and money and now I'm gonna have a scar for nothing. read more

The peircing staff was great and very knowledgeable. They explained things well when consulting with clients. They had a really good selection of jewelery. They really drove home keeping peircings clean to avoid infection and not doing things during the healing process to have the jewelry slip out by accidentally. I totally recommend them. read more

Staff is rude and prices are always a lot higher than what I'm quoted. What a horrible feeling to feel like you're bothering them by walking through the door. read more

My daughter had been asking to get her ears pierced for her 4th birthday. I explained to her the process and although she said she understood that it would hurt, I was skeptical that she really "understood ". I knew I wanted to get them pierced at a shop with needles rather than a gun at the mall, cuz you know... Anyhow we walked in with the whole family, they explained that birthday girl was totally in charge and if she was done after 1 ear than she was done, I was told many kids end up with only 1, no biggie. I appreciate this thinking, and I'm glad they make it that way. Our piercer, Tigger was amazing with my daughter, she explained everything in relatable terms, had a very positive attitude and was accommodating to our crowd! After the first ear, the look on my daughters face, I was pretty sure we were done for the day, but Tigger gave her a minute to breathe, get up and show off her new earring and baby girl hopped back up to get the other side done! The only drawback was the high price of jewelry, but I get it, you want the quality and it was her birthday after all. I did tell her though at nearly $80.00 that would be the most expensive jewelry she'd be getting until her 16th. Overall a great experience and I really just can't say enough good things about Tigger! read more

Rude staff. We stopped in to change out my daughter's nose jewelry from a stud to a ring. We were told that the "piercing was done wrong" and therefore could not accommodate a ring?!? We returned to Imperial in Boise, Idaho where their professional and courtesy staff quickly changed out the stud to a ring. Not recommending this place to anyone -- the staff is condescending and not helpful. read more

Stopped in today to try and change my nose stud to a ring and some rings in my ears to studs. The staff seemed annoyed to answer my questions, impatient and not welcoming at all. One gal did call the other location to see about a certain ring for me, but then disappeared in the back without communicating what she found out. Overall I was very turned off and will take my business elsewhere. read more

Mix review -- I'll start off by saying that the piercer Jared is AWESOME!! The front desk though... needs help, bad. The brunette girl is horribly rude, impatient and doesn't seem to understand her job. So please ask your piercing and jewelry questions to your piercer. As she doesn't seem to know much about this or doesn't want to talk and answer questions. This has been the experience two different times. Advice to High Priestess management- get someone else to represent your business. She's driving customers away. read more
