High Priestess Piercing & Tattoo — Local services in Eugene

My kid has been begging me to get her ears pierced forever now and I totally wanted that for her!

That being said, she is 6 and the last time we went to get her vaccines (she was 4 at the time) I was holding her arms as tightly as I could but she still somehow used her brute strength to free her arms, grab the needle and rip it out of her leg - bending the needle in the process. She’s been pretty NOT COOL with needles ever since - along with not being good with pain in the first place.

Well, she was asking me again to get them done this evening and a friend of mine had recommended High Priestess so I decided to give them a call. The human on the phone was super informative and kind and I felt very welcomed and comfortable. I ended up just packing my kid up and heading there at that very moment.

I cannot understate how glad I am that we ended up taking my kid here for her first piercings. Samantha is so respectful, patient and kind. My daughter gets nervous about everything, ever and I assumed she would be having an absolute meltdown at the anticipation of getting her ears pierced but SOMEHOW Samantha was able to keep her comfortable and at ease. I feel like she went out of her way to explain to my daughter that she wouldn’t do anything my daughter was afraid to do. She took the time and energy to establish trust with her (I mean like as much as you can 10 minutes after meeting someone) and it made a world of a difference. The whole thing went so smoothly and my kid didn’t scream or cry… nothing. She cries just from brushing her own hair sometimes - like it was a miracle. There was definitely some type of Mr. Miyagi healing magic in there or something.

Listen this ended up being really long but if you’re nervous about getting pierced, or PARTICULARLY if you have a kid that is - GO HERE. You...

First, I will say that our piercer was AMAZING, and I were just rating her-it would be a 5 star rating! She was super professional and knowledgeable, totally saved the experience to make it worth coming to HP. Now on to the atrocious, which was the douchebag behind the counter. I always give people the benefit of the doubt before I start name calling, but this guy deserves it and worse! He was completely unprofessional, creepy towards the younger ladies(he yawned and raised his hands up high to the point where his "hair down there" was popping out because his shirt was raised, mind you right as we were looking at the jewelry that was conveniently laid out right near his nether region) and the worse part about this guy is he had NO CLUE what he was selling or explaining to people. I am shocked HP hasn't been sued because of this guy! He totally explained the paperwork all wrong to the point I was checking the wrong box, and he almost let us out the door without paying-I had to ask how much I owed. In addition to that, he didn't even offer any after-care instructions or products, we had to ask for it! HP-I will never be back because of our experience with the front desk guy, there are many other places I can go in this town and not get treated like my business doesn't matter and I am just a piece of meat with dollar...

We went to High Priestess a week ago to get a simple jewelry change a day after a major surgery and had the absolute WORST experience. First, we bought plastic jewelry from them and got home and there were no backs on the jewelry. So they were a waste of money. Then we decided to go in and get the jewelry replaced from plastic to original piercings and were told to come in because they had time for us. We got there and were told we needed an ID, which they didn’t tell us on the phone the three times we talked. So I had to drive home to get ID (even though we weren’t getting a piercing but just getting jewelry replaced). That was A LOT of extra pain post surgery. Then we drove back to the shop and waited a FULL HOUR even though we couldn’t sit down from the pain from surgery. At no point did the two people working there say “you can come in late when we have room” or “wait in the car” or “let’s make an appointment”. They both said to come in because there was room for us. So we waited an hour, in pain, not sitting, and finally came back and it took all of 15 minutes to get the jewelry replaced. We were asked too personal questions by two different people, which is unprofessional. All in all, we had to pay $50 and it took 2 hours, which was cruel and unkind. I will never go there again. I will not recommend this...
