High Priestess Piercing & Tattoo

Our 7 year old daughter had finally decided that she wanted her ears pierced.
We chose High Priestess of Salem, mainly, because I know their wonderful reputation in Eugene. But first I called around 5 different piercing and tattoo businesses in the Salem area. I wasn't especially impressed with any of them. High priestess was helpful and kind over the phone, reasonable prices and a central location. When we got there it was a clean and relaxing atmosphere. We were greeted with a smile by Taylor, who walked us through everything we needed, making sure our daughter got all of her questions and comments answered. Her piercer Dylan was calm and professional. Even though my daughter talks when she's nervous. There were a few tears for her second earlobe. But he calmly talked her through it without hesitation. All around fantastic experience! The best part is, that over the last couple days there has been zero swelling or irritation in her new piercings. Everyone's body responds differently, but it's truly surprising. Her ears are barley sore! 10 out of 10 will recommend to anyone getting a piercing around here!

I had an incredible experience from start to finish! The staff at the desk (I'm sorry I didn't catch her name) was SO helpful and informative about my new piercings and which new jewelry would look good for my current piercing. Danny was very thorough with aftercare and what the piercing process would be. I barely felt the piercings and he was so quick! 11/10 I will definitely be back and I encourage you to check out High Priestess for your piercings needs, you won't be disappointed!!

Went in to have an old piercing removed recently.

Both the reception folk and the piercer were very friendly with me during my short visit.

Had a wonderful experience at High Priestess today!! Both myself and my 11 year old daughter were pierced by Danny and I couldn't be happier.
Nostril piercing for me... I've had many piercings but he still impressed me greatly!
Mainly I came to brag on how he handled my daughter getting really nervous/emotional beforehand. She was getting her lobes pierced a 2nd time and although she remembers the 1st ones, it was 6 years ago and she was still freaked out.
Danny stopped everything once he saw she was starting to cry and said we could take all the time she needed and even stop if she decided she didn't want to do it at all (even if she did one lobe and decided she didn't want the 2nd one). She got through it and went on to do great!! I just really loved that he made sure she knew there was nothing wrong with being nervous and needing some time to calm herself a bit.

Additionally, I could tell Danny was VERY mindful in calling my daughter "them/them" until he was sure of her pronouns which I found to be very considerate!

Also, they gal who helped us pick jewelry, explain aftercare, process payment, etc was very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly!

I absolutely recommend this shop to anyone!

I personally have not been tattooed here but have gone with friends and their pieces have been incredible. I have been pierced during a promo here- I wouldn’t go again as I got my belly button done and the piercer didn’t quit get close enough to my navel so the piercing never healed properly (even after a year) and infected from never healing until I removed it. I’ve known people to get great piercings here but maybe they just weren’t good at doing bigger girl navels? Or an off day? Regardless their jewelry is great.

Piercing was done with great care. All of the staff I worked with were very cautious to keep everything sterile and safe. But they are also hilarious, fun, and entertaining. Piercer put me at ease and was gentle. When I went back to downsize, I had another great experience with everyone. Even though they were running behind on appointments (not a normal day) they were apologetic and gave me great service again.

My teen and I went for jewelry upgrades on several existing piercings. The counter person and piercer were very helpful in sizing and jewelry recommendations based on our taste. This shop is owned by the same company that owns HTC in the metro Phoenix AZ area I have also been to and loved. We felt comfortable the entire time. We will definitely come back to this shop for more piercings.

I really love this place and have had good experiences over the last few years. All my piercings have healed well, and I got some quality gold jewelry for them too.

My complaint is that I can’t order anything online and they don’t ever return my calls when I try to call and order jewelry. They also don’t seem to answer the phone in general, so I’ve left messages three times over the last year and they have never called me back. I would email them, but they don’t seem to have one available to customers, unless I missed it somehow.

I needed a specific piece for my next downsize and I can’t order it unless I make an appointment since I have no other way of getting in contact with them (they don’t do walk ins), and I know they probably wouldn’t have the piece, so I would have to make another appointment after they order it to get it swapped out when it comes in. That’s a lot of hassle when I can just order the piece online from another piercer and swap it out myself. I wanted to get it all done locally, because I do love the business and don’t mind putting money into it, but at this point I’m just going to get pierced there and do jewelry ordering somewhere else.

Danny is absolutely amazing, all 9 of my piercings are done by him and any more I get will also be done by him. Fantastic shop with fantastic piercers

I am giving them one star because of the front desk lady. I have been here 3 times all of which was buying jewelry and having it inserted in an already pierced hold. She is so rude, unfriendly, and just makes the whole experience terrible. The good part is Danny & Dillon whom are very enjoyable, sweet outgoing people and they always educate. Unfortunately this 3rd time will be my last because of the front desk lady with blue hair. I only came because Jori Zans is booked until April. Just wait Jori. Her business and establishment are worth the wait!!
