I have been to the shop a few times, usually with friends, but I have never been a customer. But after my recent experience here, I will never be stepping foot back into this shop, and I will never recommend for anyone I know to go here for a tattoo or a piercing. Each experience I have had at this shop has been a terrible experience. But recently, I went and got piercing from here after a friend of mine told me there was new people working there, and the rude people were gone. But wrong. Anyways, after I got the piercing I wanted, the lady who pierced me told me to come back in two weeks to switch out the jewelry, but I told her I already had jewelry from when I had the same piercing a few years ago, and she asked me where I got it, so I told her which shop I got it from. And she said she never heard of the shop, and Im pretty sure she assumed it was cheap jewelry from a sketchy shop. But little did she know, I never had any issues from the stud I had in before. Which Im sensitive to most jewelry. So it definitely wasnt cheap jewelry. But anyways, back to my point. As I was telling her, she rudely threw her hand up in the air and said "its your body, do whatever you want to do with it." I was still speaking when she rudely cut me off. As we were walking to the front desk so I could pay for the piercing I had just got. I told her I got seven other piercings from the place I got the jewelry from. And again, she rudely cut me off to respond with "its whatever, your body." Oh, and she was also talking trash about the place I got all my other piercings from. Which in my book that is HIGHLY unprofessional. Especially because the place I had gone too for all my other piercings, they have never, not even once bad mouthed another shop.

After having work done by an "artist" who was recommended by a friend and who worked cheap, (dont ever go for cheap!) I wound up with a hibiscus on my arm that looked like a f***ing petunia. I contacted Jessica because I had work that had been done by her late father at MPG. RIP Mark. I didnt even know she was at High Priestess at that point. She was busy but hooked me up with Flicka who was able to fix the "petunia" and continue on to give me a nice tropical themed half-sleeve. Three times Ive had to remove my earring for an MRI or surgery and each time Jan has cheerfully replaced it for free, even though I bought it at Nomad in Bend long ago. Ive never encountered any of the unpleasantness described by other reviewers. Maybe it depends on your own attitude when you go in?

Rude service. Went in to talk to artist about my boyfriends first tattoo. Wanted to know if he had ideas or had drawn anything up according to what my boyfriend told him. Made up something about misplacing it, and when he finally "found it" it was the same art hed shown us the when we scheduled the appointment, someone with a similar tattoo. When we tried to talk to him about what we wanted, he told my boyfriend he disagreed with details about the tattoo that my boyfriend wanted (a simple design) and told us he thought we were overthinking the whole thing..... Im not going to just trust someone to put something on my body forever and pay for it without trusting that they will at least listen to what we want.

When we went in a guy wrote up the paper work. Piercing X 2 =$20 and barbells X 2 =$50. (i though 50 was outrageous for 2 studs and 4 plastic balls). After jen did the piercings she rang it up at $120 so I pointed out the paper work said the total was $70. She then told me the paper work was wrong and the barbells are $50 each ( that is 1 stud & 2 plastic balls for $50) when I tried to argue the price she said shy could remove the piercing and we could go some where else it we did not like the price. So I paid it but I will not go back. I do not knot wich one of the 2 people that helped us scamed us or if this is just the way the business is the run.

Ifbi could give less I would!! Thought the BOGO deal was a great idea and Id save money but they charged over $100 and charged way over price for jewelry which by the way 4 years ago they made a law that ALL shops must carry the same damn type of jewelry so I could have gone elsewhere saved money and paid $5 for my jewelry instead of $45.00 for something I didnt want! Also he used a 14 gage when he should have used a 16 gage... I will NEVER go back to this place again.. Scamming their customers isnt very cool...

My best friend and I got our first tattoos there. Both designs were expertly modified by the artists Eric and Jessica and then placed on perfectly. Eric took time to make sure my hip tattoo was going to go with my figure and be flattering on my body. Jessica added some extra pop to my friends turtle and made it a truly adorable piece that she loves. I loved the attitude of the artists and their great sense of humor. They made our first tattoo experience a fantastic one.

I went here to get my first tattoo on m 18th birthday, which made it half off. My tattoos (I got two matching ones, one on each calf) took about 4 hours and Jessica was very pleasant through the whole experience, being very patient when I wanted to take breaks and when my legs twitched, and when I complained about the pain. Everyone there was very nice and patient with me while we were talking about the design and how specific I wanted it to be. I had a great experience here.

I went here to get my ear pierced and the girls up front were super nice. the lady that did my piercing did a great job, I LOVE IT. Unfortunately I made the bad decision to ask about tattoos.(my friend told me not to) I was told to talk to Jessica. I gave her my idea and she spent the next 5 minutes telling me why it was dumb and then she had the people she was tattooing laugh at me for it. I will never go back here again, thankfully I got my piercing done first.

Brought my daughter here to get her ears pierced about a month ago. Absolutely loved the staff and everyone was super happy and informative. Everyone was super supportive of my daughters ear piercing being her choice because shes not quite 4 years old yet. She was adamant about getting her ears pierced and everyone was okay with taking it at her pace. Her ears have been healing super nice and clean. This parent and child duo couldnt be happier. :D
