I had a few days off from work and decided to message Empire tattoo to see if they had any openings, they replied quickly and set up an appointment. It was my first time there so I got an artist at random and was incredibly lucky to get Alan D. I sent a few pictures and Alan was able to draw up what exactly what I wanted. The session went great (about 5 hours) he absolutely knocked it out of the park, by far my favorite tattoo yet. I can't wait to go back.

Two friends and myself walked in at 8pm (when they close at 9) for a walk in tattoo. Two of us intended to get pierced elsewhere, but Paul asked us if we wanted him to do it and gave us a student discount. Angel tattooed my friend and Paul pierced myself and my other friend. They were both AMAZING. They were very personable and kind. Paul was hilarious and made my friend (who got her nipples pierced) feel very comfortable. We ended up keeping them past 9, but they were so kind to us and did not seem to mind at all. 11/10 would recommend! I will definitely go back to Empire (Oakland location) for any further piercings or tattoos.

My husband and I were visiting family in PA and wanted to get tattooed. It was short notice (about 4 days notice) and we both wanted decent sized pieces. When I called Empire, they were extremely accommodating and willing to fit us in. Alan Dippold spent all day with us and did both of our tattoos (about 7 hours of tattooing in total). He is amazing! He was funny and down to earth. Best of all, he is a great artist! He designed both of the tattoos with very little reference material. Alan made it a great experience. Our next trip to PA will include a stop at Empire to get more tattoos.

Paul demarco is doing a whole leg sleeve on me, so far I’m 100% impressed. He’s one talented dude and always charges fair prices. Everyone I’ve talked to who works there are pretty nice, I’d highly recommend them to anyone! I plan on getting all of my tattoos from now on from Paul!

I really recommend this place. Awesome shop with awesome artists. I am in town for work for a short time and my wife came out to visit me with even more limited time. We explained our situation and the want to get matching tattoos. They easily worked out an appointment for us that would work with our schedule. Angel did amazing work for my wife and I. If I ever make it back out to this area, I will be going back.

I went a couple weeks ago for a piercing and the guys that work there made me feel so comfortable and not nervous at all. They have great prices and are very professional and knowledgeable. They gave me aftercare products and it's healing really well! Since then, I've been recommending this shop to all of my friends. If I ever want to get another piercing, this is where I'll go!

Ive had my tattoos done by a few people here and they always do amazing work..the staff is cool, and really down to earth. They let me pick music to connect to listen to while they're tattooing me, and they have great prices. I always recommend them because they're my favorite shop in the city!

I have had several tattoos inked by Megan, she does great work. Shop vibe is good, plus one of the rooms had a tv and a well-curated horror selection, I was able to watch In the Mouth of Madness and several Twin Peaks episodes during my sessions.

The service is extremely good at empire—a very nice, funny, and personable experience. My girlfriend and I went for a walk-in appointment and ended up with Paul who was incredible. He did an extremely well done job on some thin cursive writing for her and normal lettering for me. Very crisp lines and also a good time chatting. Definitely plan on returning.

I have been going to the shop and getting tattooed by Angel for the past 2 years & just had work done tonight! I am planning on getting many more from her too! I would recommend the shop to anyone and have been spreading the word about the place.. it's a great atmosphere, great experience, and they are clean, sterile, and as well as professional..
