so ive gotten two tattoos from here, my first was done by Crank and the other I cant remember his name. well, my first was quite elaborate an fully colored on my right shoulder. it was done very well, line work very clean and Cranks little personal style he added to the piece went very well with the scene COST..200 I ended up paying 300 because I was so pleased with the work. the second time I went back and wanted to get a small symbol on my wrist and Crank was not there and they told me the tattoo would be 150$!! I was very disappointed in the price but got it anyways because I didnt want to spend time looking for another shop. all I can say is Crank is reasonable in price and excellent in skill. im not going to get another tattoo from here unless I book him. the guys are always nice though

Piercer Chris is amazing! Everyone at the shop was extremely nice and professional. Chris was very informative and helpful through the entire process and even afterwards. He made my experience an awesome one. I went in to get my nipples pierced and they turned out great. Any questions I had, he was able to answer and provided me with online resources to help with aftercare. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. I felt a bit light headed after the first piercing which usually happens to me and Chris was nice enough to buy me water, one of the guys rant to the store nearby to grab me one. They were all awesome!

The shop? Sick. The boys? Dope. The overall quality of work from all the artists working there? Extremely good as hell. Ive gotten like, 8 or 9 tattoos from Jerry, the shops resident Latino man. All great stuff. Nothing better that getting some firme work in and then cracking open some ice cold crispy boys with Jerry once the day is done. Word of advice though, if youre in the market for a butterfly tattoo on your thumb, you shouldnt get it here or at any other shop because not only is that idea trash, it also indicates that youre trash, your life is trash, and you probably smell like trash. Im out.

This place is great. Im an attractive girl with big breasts( I hope Im not coming off wrong Im just trying to paint the picture lol ) so Im always aware when people are staring a little too hard. There was none of that. Pablo was and is my new artist he was completely professional, showed me all the needles were brand new and answered all my questions. I recommend this shop and Pablo to everyone. Oh and ladys ask for Pablo (hes cute too! Lol)

So I came here for a nose piercing, and the guy did a great job! The placement was perfect, and he did it in such a way that I didnt even feel the piercing one bit. Also, the place is super clean, using all of the modern sterilization tools. I didnt get a tattoo here, but if you are looking for a place to get a piercing, this is definitely a good place!

Piercer Jimbo is awesome. Extremely professional nice. He looks intimidating at first but you start talking to him and hes super friendly. I got 3 of my piercings done here. I recommend this place to everyone. I didnt feel any pain when I was getting my piercings done. Piercer only works Fri-Mon 6-11 I think?

Very clean shop and so easy to work with artist. Brandon did a great memorial to my father. I definitely recommend Empire to anyone looking to have outstanding art, detail, cleanliness, and respect for what you want, all at a reasonable price. Thanks Brandon!!

I have gotten several tattoos from Steve Varner. He does amazing work and the rest of the guys in the shop are really cool. I hate going into tattoo shop and having everybody act like they are too cool to help me with a question, this is not the case at empire.

This place is a great tattoo shop. Very clean very professional artists. Brian Crank was very professional and very patient in the whole process of helping my son get his first tattoo. Will be going back to get some ink myself.

I saw Chris and he was the nicest piercer I have ever been to. He got me and my friend out quickly and was super friendly. The place was clean. Please go you will not regret it.

Jerry is the best if you want cool cartoon/comic/movie based tattoos. All of the guys are friendly, very clean, and very professional.
