I got my septum pierced two days ago, and yesterday one of the balls on the end of my horse shoe ring fell off. I was devastated because I was so excited to show all of my friends, and no replacement ball would get here in time. We called Empire and the man that picked up (I’m so sorry I didn’t get his name) told us we could come by real quick and pick them up. He said he’d tape them to the door because they’re closing soon and he wouldn’t charge us anything. I’m so so grateful for his generosity, seriously a life saver.

I stopped in for a new nose ring to go in my existing piercing today on a daytrip to Asheville. Not only is ALL of their jewelry high-quality metal and backings, the service when letting me look and decide was excellent. The shop was in between clients when I came in and Greg was able to change my nose jewelry for me; it was absolutely my best piercing experience and when I actually get another piercing instead of just changing jewelry, I WILL be driving the 1.25 hours to come back to Empire Tattoo. Impeccable service, impeccable selection. Six stars.

I took my teen daughter to Empire today to get the nose piercing she’s been begging for. She was excited and anxious. Greg was exceptional. He was very friendly, talked as he worked and made her feel very at ease. 100% wonderful experience all around.

I dropped in for a new tattoo but after consulting with the artists we decided to make another appointment since it wouldn’t be a flash tattoo. I decided to get my previous tat touched up and it ended up getting infected and looking like a blob compared to how it was originally. We discussed the scar tissue and the artist said everything was good. After a few days things didn’t seem right and I contacted them to make sure it was healing okay, they assured me it was but the next day I had to go to urgent care for antibiotics. I cancelled my new tat appointment because I no longer trust this shop. I have since gotten a new tattoo that has healed perfectly. REGRET REGRET REGRET.

Wife and I have multiple tattoos to start. We were on a weekend trip in Asheville and on a whim decided to get some small ones just randomly. Cause why not right? We called a few shops, no one was talking walk ins. On a Friday? Cmon!Empire said to come on down! We went in, told them the basic idea of what the two of us wanted, and they hooked us up with Zeke. Everyone was very professional, the facility was clean, and was overall a great atmosphere.Zeke was awesome. His prep and cleaning was great, he’s got an awesome story, and his work was top notch.Not sure the next time we will be back in Asheville, but we definitely will be coming back to see Zeke if we do!

Once again, I had the best experience with Empire. From the conversations with the guy who runs the place, to the artist who took the time to give me exactly what I want. I thinkkkk his name is Devin, I’m terrible at remembering names. But he gave me EXACTLY what I wanted….and this was the first time I have gotten a tattoo and felt that way. Thanks guys!

10/10 experience and people! Greg is a true professional, made me feel 100% comfortable getting my nipples pierced, and has great conversation. I'll definitely be back!

Hello there. My names Carly Rae. Live in Asheville currently, from South Florida . I can say I received my most favorite tattoo from this place. The artistic ability my artist had was over the top! From the moment I walked in the front door I was treated like a queen. His name is Zeak.

This place is amazing. I’ve gotten a tattoo here and several piercings. Greg is an amazing piercer and has great bedside manner. He is super kind and professional. All of the staff here are awesome, and I 100% recommend Empire for any tattoo or piercing!
