Salem Piercing & Tattoo Studio Policies & Notices

Kids’ Earlobe Piercings

We offer earlobe piercing appointments for children ages 8–12. Scheduling ahead gives our team time to help make the experience comfortable and positive. Since not every piercer works with children as young as 8, please call or text 503-967-6232 before booking to confirm which piercers are available for your child’s appointment.

Walk-ins & Appointments

You can schedule a piercing appointment in advance or stop by as a walk-in any day of the week. Walk-ins are welcome on a first-come, first-served basis, and availability may still be possible even when the online calendar appears full.

Scheduled appointments are served first, while walk-ins are accommodated as time opens up between bookings. To help minimize your wait, we recommend reserving a time through our Salem piercing booking page. For current availability or an estimate of wait times, contact the studio directly.

Aftercare & Healing

Healing varies depending on the piercing and your body’s individual recovery process. Many piercings take approximately six months to heal, while others can take longer. Your piercer will explain the expected healing timeline and provide instructions tailored to your piercing.

To support healing, use NeilMed saline solution as directed by your piercer, avoid unnecessary touching or movement of the jewelry, and stay out of pools and other bodies of water until your piercing has fully healed. You may also need to return for a jewelry downsize as swelling decreases. If questions come up during healing, reach out to our team for guidance.

Why our clients trust High Priestess Salem

★★★★★

My daughter went to this location to get her ears pierced. She had always put off doing this because she was afraid and her autism made this much worse. However, her piercer, Bunny, did such an excellent job of keeping her calm and performing her service so professionally that my daughter didn't even feel any pain and left the appointment feeling nothing but excitement.
Thank you Bunny and High Priestess for treating my daughter so well.

Matt
★★★★★

Great customer service whether I’m purchasing jewelry, getting a piercing or a tattoo by Desiree! ❤️❤️

Lynette
★★★★★

I just had a great overall experience with the staff at the front desk and my piercer was great too! Very professional and made me feel very comfortable in the space!

Poppy
★★★★★

This is more about customer service and just being good human beings than anything else. My daughter is 9 and wanted to get her ears pierced, but she's a fairly anxious child. Dylan was very kind and patient and didn't try to force anything. She ultimately decided not to get pierced. They were very nice. My daughter had an overall positive experience at High Priestess and when she's ready, we'll be back to actually receive a service. Thank you for being so compassionate.

Rex
★★★★★

Took my daughter there for her birthday. She was nervous but they are pros there.

Adam
★★★★★

Just got my vertical labret done on January 26th Dylan was a fantastic piercer. Very good at explaining everything and giving you good tips for aftercare

Rebecca
★★★★★

All the staff were soooo kind!! I had come in late due to, of course, Salem drivers, and they still let me come in! All of my friends come here, and they always recommend this place. and I understand why! Will be coming back again.
