I took my niece here for a belly button piercing, The shop seemed clean, popular, and efficient. The piercer was very nice and professional. My niece was 17 and wasn't scared at all. I will be coming back here for my daughter's ears to get pierced!

The guy I usually go to isn’t doing piercings anymore so I went with this shop and I have to say Nick did a good job I went to get my Medusa pierced and he talked me through the whole process asked if I was ready for the needle then talked me through the healing process. He told me if the bar was too small due to it swelling up to come back and change for a longer bar I had to go back a few days later cause my lip got huge. He apologized that I was having issues and changed it talked to me the whole time he was changing the bar very cool guy highly recommend him and will definitely go back.

I went to Empire on the spur of a moment idea to get my Septum pierced. I walked in and their piercer greeted me at the door and told me his name was Nick. I've had many experiences with shops, yet for some reason Nick stood out. He was extremely professional, caring and all around based on all the information he explained is very knowledgeable.
I was terrified of the horror stories I've heard regarding septum, but to be honest Nick made the whole experience completely painless. So far he has done my bridge and septum and if there ever is anyone I know or I get anything else done Nick at Empire is my go to professional. Thanks for the great experience Nick. Make sure you get some of his stickers too.
Much Respect !

Got pierced by nick sida. I asked him to go through my original scar holes for my bridge. He gave me this anatomy talk about shifting (which is possible) but regardless , you should always do what your customers ask of you nick. Because if it comes out incorrectly ( which it is still crooked a week later) it falls back onto you. If you went thru the original holes like I had asked in the beginning it would've fell onto me. Try listening to your customers more. I won't be coming back for you to create even more scars on my face. I will be doing my own piercings from now on. Call yourself a professional? Can't even do a straight piercing. Waste of $60.

i got my belly button pierced here for my 16th birthday about a week ago and so far so good! the place is super cool, it was quick and the piercing he used for the healing process is super cute and the guy was super nice. I forgot his name, but if you are going to get a piercing I would totally go here :)

First time there and it's nice and clean. I asked a girl there how much it would be for a Rose tattoo and she asked if she can see it and being that I didn't have it on hand she said I can text her to her number with a picture of the rose, so I text her and 2 hours later no response so I decide to call the store and ask, the guy who works there said they don't give prices out over the phone which I understand but I was trying to ask for the girl employee {which I didn't get her name} and the guy said the number I text is Nick's number and he doesn't do tattoos just piercings and I said I know that I just don't understand why the girl gave me 5 business cards with Nick's info on it when she clearly told me it was her number and well that's the reason for a 2 star because if someone, a tattoo artist can't give me the right information how can I trust the tattoo artist to tatt on me? I was really looking forward to going there but not anymore.

Brandon was great. This was my first tattoo and I kind of knew what I wanted in general but let him choose what he thought looked good. I was happy with how it turned out and with the price. It was exactly how much I expected it to be and pay. Brandon did great work and if I get more I'd go back as long as he will do it. He even added some color without charging any extra. Added a recent photo. Great work, no problems at all with anything. Clean work and person it was for loves it. This person has several tattoos and told me the work was very well done.

Nick was great! He explained the process while he was doing my piercing. And I was very impressed when he told me he would change my nose stud when I'm ready..
