Best Body Piercing near me in New York City

I have over 7 piercings all over New York State and i can't say enough good things about this place. Came with a friend. Great jewelry selection for every taste from jeweled to geometric. Quick. Clean piercings and the least pain afterwards I have ever had with a piercing. I will absolutely be back. 10/10.

Wonderful service! Me and my daughter went in to get our nose pierced. The guy who did ours was amazing. The receptionist up front was nice and made us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend going and checking out this place. We will be returning for more piercings and possibly tattooing

Got my tongue pierced by Mario, super nice guy and an excellent piercer. Very happy with the placement of my piercing and enjoyed the piercing experience!

This is the best place to visit for first time piercing and to come everytime you want a new piercing. The piercers know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about. On top of that they let you know if your body will react to the piercing you’re thinking of getting. If you body doesn’t have the right anatomy, they suggest different piercings that you would like !!!! I love this is shop and will always come back 100/10

The studio is immaculate! Absolutely love the cleanliness and vibe. The gentleman that greeted me and helped me choose the stud for nose piercing was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Paul, my piercer was amazing and so very kind. He was professional and friendly. The whole experience was quick and easy. I'm happy I decided to get a piercing here. I'll definitely be back and I highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect place for professional piercings.

I was in the process of writing an in-depth review and realized I was only allowed 600 words lol. I’ll keep it short — I had an amazing experience. I’ve had my nose pierced several times before and thought I knew what to expect, but True Expression honestly went far and above my expectations. From the gentleman at the front who was very attentive, and answered all my jewelry questions — to the piercer who did an amazing job. This piercing shop is extremely thorough, CLEAN, and on point with everything else in between. 👌🏽

I’ve gotten so many piercings here and I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. The team is helpful, informative, professional and I absolutely adore their work! I’ve had no complications with any of my piercings, and they work so well with my individual anatomy, to make sure I get the best piercing experience. Honestly, if you’re considering getting pierced here, take this as a sign to take the soonest appointment you can get!

The place is so clean and they’re super safe with covid procedures. They only let one person it and a time and they sanitized everything including the jewelry before doing the piercing. Sebastian did my tragus and he was so personable and knowledgeable and the piercing was completely painless. He talked me through everything including aftercare and was so friendly that I forgot that I was even nervous about the piercing. I’ve gotten pierced at all kinds of places in the past and you can tell the difference because they really function like a high-end professional piercing place here, loved it

Tonho is THE BEST tattoo artist I ever met! He treated me with respect, kindness, and listened to my concerns. It is a year and a half later since I had gotten my first, last, and only tattoo on my sleeve to honor the memory of my son. I wanted to do a touch-up. He explained from an artistic perspective how he did the focal points. When he was done, I was VERY happy. Renzo is AWESOME! He pierces quickly with sterilized equipment, patiently explains the process, marks the spot, then I got pierced before my brain even knew it! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND INDUSTRIAL ART TATTOO!

I always leave this piercing studio with a positive experience! Paul and Sebastian have been incredibly kind and helpful with guidance on my piercings. Steph is amazing as well, and helped me with looking for great jewelry pieces that are suitable for me. All jewelry is sterilized with an autoclave. You can tell they care about your well-being to make sure your piercings are healing smoothly! And they’ve been patient and informative with my many questions. Best piercing studio in Queens, will keep coming back!

Love this shop! So happy I found them. I have gotten 4 piercings here. They are extremely knowledgeable about how to pierce as well as where to pierce and what works best for your body. They also know about and have relationships with shops around the country and world. I'm moving to CA and they recommended shops and specific piercers to talk to for follow ups and jewelry changes. I cannot recommend them enough. Your money will be well spent here.

Had my nose re-pierced. I had my friends saying that getting your nose re-pierced would hurt more than the first time, but that's not the case with Mario. He was absolutely gentle with re-piercing my nose! Thank you so much Mario! I definitely would recommend my friends and family to this place.

Sebastian was great! Although this was my second time getting my nipples pierced, it was the best experience I had. Sebastian was incredible patient, he explained every step he was doing, & held a great conversation to take my mind of the piercing. Totally would recommend making your appointment with True Expression for your next piercing!

Renzo was amazing. I got my nose pierced very quickly. He was friendly and professional. The shop is very cleaned and organized. I will be back for another piercing and tattoos and will bring my friends as well. You have a forever client. ~ Shay Butta’s Bakery

Hands down best place to get pierced in NYC/the east coast. I moved a few hours away and still came back just to get pierced here. The whole team there is extremely professional, knowledgeable and just really cool people. The shop is super clean and the jewelry they carry is awesome. I recommend it to everyone, all the time

Mario did an amazing job. He explained the whole process .. gave his professional advice on the best location to get eyebrow piercing. I strongly recommend getting pierced by Mario.

Sebastian was super helpful and patient in helping me select the jewelry and providing after care instructions for my nostril piercing. Paul was very knowledgeable and walked me through the entire piercing process. 10/10 recommend this piercing studio. Overall amazing experience.

Ashley and Renzo were amazing!!! Precise tattoo work from Ashley and quick painless piercing from Renzo. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to get tattoos or piercings.

For their costumer service, professionalism, and service they deserve a 5/5. The service and jewelry are a bit expensive but it’s definitely worth the money, they have cute selections and styles. I got my helix and flat done by Paul. He was amazing. He walked me through what was going to happen and made me very comfortable. The receptionist even guided me the anatomy of my ear to make sure that the piercings were fit for my ear. The piercings didn’t hurt at all and there isn’t any discomfort after either. Definitely would recommend to a family or friend.

I love this shop. I’ve gotten ink and piercings done here and it’s clean, open spaces, friendly inviting shop. The artists and piercers are all so talented. Highly recommend. They are also very helpful, just today my nose stud fell out while in the pool and bc my hands don’t work so well I went in and they changed it no problem.
