High Priestess Piercing & Tattoo

The person who did the piercing was nice and I had a blast talking to her but there was another employee that was incredibly rude. They are also way to expensive with the jewelry and at the end, we ended up spending about $200 for one piercing and a lobe stretch. When we asked why it was so expensive, we got no answer. This place is OK but I would go somewhere else for a piercing.

Gonna rock this sticker this summer proudly 😁

Last weekend, I went in to get my septum re-pierced. The initial experience was great, they were clean, fast, professional. After determining that my septum had closed up, we decided to re pierce with a retainer. I was nervous about the width of the retainer, but they said it would be fine. After piercing, it was incredibly painful and the piercer said that it was "more resistance than usual" and we figured it was because of the scar tissue. [Spoiler alert: it went through my cartilage] The retainer was incredibly tight on my nose but they said it would be fine. After leaving, I felt massive anxiety about how tight it was-- I had asked for them to stretch it open but they said that wasn't a good idea.

I wasn't sure what to do, but something felt off. I did end up going to a different piercer and they told me that the new piercing nicked my cartilage. After closer inspection from me, the new piercing is in a completely different place than I had it before, too. I can see the old hole behind the new piercing.

I'm leaving this review to say, remember to advocate for yourself and look at the placement of your piercing before saying yes. I keep blaming myself for the experience-- it's been a very painful healing process so far and the placement is very high up it makes me a bit queasy to look at. I don't want to take it out because I paid for the dang thing, but also, I would like it to be in a faster healing spot! Informed consent is important when it comes to piercings!

I have been to High Priestess many times in my years in Corvallis. While I do prefer my shop back home, this place is pretty good and carries my favorite jewelry brands so it’s a good option. The previous piercer there was amazing and I absolutely ADORE the shop assistants, Omen and Sam. However, the new hires for piercers aren’t good at all. Dylan was very nice and personable, but pierced my flat with way too short of a barbell. The real reason I’m writing this though is because of Steven. I went a few weeks ago to just get a piece of jewelry put back on my rook. He didn’t come out of the back for ten minutes (I had a lovely convo with Omen so I’m not too mad about that), was incredibly rude, and told me a clearly irritated (has a bump) piercing was totally fine and there was nothing wrong with it. Didn’t offer any insight on how to care for it when asked and bashed my shop back home that’s 10 times the place this will ever be. If you’re looking for an actually good piercer in Corvallis (also has better prices), go to Sarvas at Rising Tides.

I have never had any piercings before and I was nervous going in, but I am so glad I chose High Priestess for my first piercing. The staff there was incredibly helpful, informative, and friendly, and I felt very welcomed! The piercer was very good at their job and the piercing was executed with quite minimal pain. I wasn’t able to leave very much of a tip because I am a broke college student, but this business deserves all the attention it can get. I love my piercings and I’m debating getting more, and, if I do, I know where to go!

The staff are all very nice and helpful and are probably the best part about this place. My piercer, Tigger, was very sanitary and professional with my eyebrow piercing. It never once got infected and my experience and final result were both great. However, looking through their tattoo portfolio is pretty disappointing. I don't know who their artists are, but I'm not impressed and you probably won't be either. You get what you pay for with piercings, though.

I started going to high priestess four years ago. They were very professional and put my nerves at ease. The shop was super clean. Now during covid they are dealing with it really well making sure everything is clean and there are never more than a couple people in at a time. I have gotten 8 piercings with them so far (2 helix, 2 lobe, tragus, forward helix, conch, and naval). They dealt with all of them super well. They give good aftercare advice and their spray works wonders. Dylan is my favorite piercer there although both of them are great. They also will put jewelry back in for you for $5. And they do free checkups on piercings and tattoos. Best shop I’ve been to.

I really wanted to give the benefit of the doubt, because it seemed like a cool atmosphere. But the piercing got infected, the service was poor and the employees were rude, and they charged over $200 for a second earlobe piercing. I wanted to go back and ask for advice for how to take care of my piercing, but they told me to just look up how to do it.

I scheduled a tattoo appointment with Rest a couple months out but day of my appointment he did not show. He apparently forgot to clarify with me that he worked at two shops, & did not seem very apologetic that I drove all the way from Indiana for this. At the very least he did refund me my deposit. The person who goes by the name Sam was very very kind and helpful though & they handled the situation very professionally.

High end piercings, got the “director” who has been piercing for 22 years apparently. yet she pierced my MASK into the ear piercing. don’t go here. highly unprofessional and a waste of $90.
