    Perfect first piercing experience!
    Ashley M.

    Incredible staff, excellent experience! My 8 year old daughter wanted her first ear piercing for her birthday. We called and Imperial was happy to have us in the same day. The crew at Imperial was welcoming, kind and friendly. Kerri was our piercer and she walked us through every step with thoughtful placement. My daughter and I were beaming after an easy, fun and exceptional first ear piercing experience. Couldn't have asked for better!

    Horrible experience. Got my 4th lobes pierced yesterday and the "head piercer" pierced them at a severe angle, I'm just in shock. I only have a few piercings but I know enough to know that this is completely ridiculous. One side is worse than the other and would not stop bleeding, it was just pouring blood, I had to remove them. Waste of time and money, I'm so disappointed.

    My conch! Absolutely love it.

    I went and had my conch done today. I've had many piercings done before but NO ONE like Dan. Hands down the best piercer I've ever had. He took his time and made sure I felt 100% comfortable. The price was well worth it. I'll be back. Also, the lady up front was AWESOME! She was so helpful when it came to picking out my jewelry for my ear. Thank you all!

    Had a tattoo done with Ryan. It turned out beautiful. He was very friendly and professional. He practiced a clean, sanitize job. Very happy with the result. The shop is very clean. The girl in the front desk was very friendly also. Thanks for the good job

    Got my nose pierced here and it was a fantastic experience! The piercer explained everything as they went, and made sure that I was happy with the placement. I was in and out within 30 minutes and it's has been healing wonderfully! I will come back here for future piercings.

    Got pierced by KERRI. Didn't know what I wanted exactly - she picked the earring and the placement (between veins so least traumatic/bleed). Earring has healed so well and easily that I was accidentally sleeping on it within a couple of days. Don't recommend sleeping on it - just saying. Really great jewelry selection at this shop (and I have been to over a dozen of different places known for jewelry.)

    Worst piercing experience I've ever had!!!! My friends and I…read morecame here to get piercings, and we all left deeply disappointed. We honestly should have turned around and walked out the moment we stepped in--none of the staff greeted us. Three employees were sitting around on their phones, and with no other customers in the shop, it felt unwelcoming and awkward from the start. We weren't given any choice in our jewelry, and what they did put in was completely incorrect. One of my friends got a conch piercing, and instead of a flat back stud (which is standard and appropriate), they used a horseshoe ring. Another friend and I got upper helix piercings, and they put in 20 gauge butterfly back lobe jewelry--which is absolutely not suitable for cartilage piercings. I've had several cartilage piercings before, so I immediately knew something was wrong. I asked the piercer why he used a butterfly back instead of a flat back, and he dismissed my concerns, saying, "I've been piercing for a long time, so I know what I'm doing," and claimed that flat backs are harder to clean. Ironically, butterfly backs are full of little crevices where bacteria can easily build up, making them more difficult to keep sanitary. To make matters worse, when I got up after being pierced, I noticed my hand was bleeding. I suspect he dropped a needle and it nicked me, which was very concerning. That's when I realized he hadn't wiped down the chair between clients--and even more disturbing, the piercers didn't wash their hands before gloving up. They had literally been eating pizza when we arrived. The aftercare advice was also completely off. He told me to clean the piercing with Dial soap because "everything else would dry it out"--referring to saline solution. That's just bad advice. Drying out the area is exactly what you want to avoid bacteria buildup. Overall, the entire experience left a bad taste in my mouth. It felt like they had no real understanding of safe, hygienic piercing practices. As soon as I got home, I booked a jewelry change appointment at my trusted piercing shop--Hippie Hoops and Holes--who are incredibly professional and kind. At that appointment, they were shocked by what I told them about this shop. They replaced the jewelry with the correct gauge, which was painful because the previous piercer had squeezed on the butterfly backs so tightly there was no room for swelling. They had a hard time removing them. My friend with the conch piercing also had to get hers changed. The piercer at Hippie said the ring had been bent to fit around her ear--and if she'd left it in, it likely would have caused a major keloid or even ruined the piercing altogether. It's common knowledge that you don't pierce a conch with a hoop. They also told us that all of our piercings had been done at strange angles, and if they don't heal properly, we may need to have them corrected in the future. That's not something anyone should have to worry about after paying for a professional service. I truly cannot recommend this place to anyone. If I could rate it zero stars, I would. Also, please note that in Idaho, tattoo/piercing shops aren't required to have a sanitary license--so please do your research and be cautious before getting any service here.

    I came into lifestyle looking to get a piercing, I walked in and immediately the vibes were amazing…read moreas was the staff, after filling out my paperwork I was greeted by Tommy. Tommy walked me through everything, was extremely patient and respectful about everything and overall was the best piercer I've ever been too. I sent my friends in after telling them about my experience and they left extremely satisfied with Tommy's work! He is the go to guy and I will 100% come back and get more piercings/tattoos by Tommy!!
