Best Tattooing & Piercing near me in New York

Another great visit!! My daughter absolutely loves her curly hair short and Crissel delivers each and every time making my daughter extremely happy. As long as we live in New York and Crissel is in business we will always book with her.

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

Kathy/Cathy and Sebastian are absolute gems. I had had an incredible experience, from start to finish. Kathy is present, knowledgeable and communicates effectively. She was welcoming and pleasant to interact with. I can’t wait to get more piercings done with Sebastian. He displayed a consummate professionalism that impressed me. They both understand what excellent customer service means. I highly recommend this place and look forward to continuing services, in the near future. Make today beautiful! JW ; )

Service was quick but very precise. My piercings came out great and the staff was a joy to speak to. Shop's atmosphere is sick as hell.

What a treat it is to come get my haircut and spend time with the lovely ladies at Crissel New York! Crissel is not only a phenomenal hairdresser but also kind, thoughtful, and funny. I always have such a great time chatting with her and her awesome crew (namely Rosie and Susie). Crissel always makes me look and feel fabulous... and at a great price. Even after moving away from the neighborhood, I still maker the trek back because I know I can rely on Crissel to make me look my best (and give me a few good laughs). Highly recommend this wonderful salon!

After having had a painful navel piercing experience many years ago I thought I was gonna be in a lot of pain especially because I was piercing my navel again. I felt absolutely nothing compared to the first time. The place was extremely clean and professional. My piercing was sterilized prior to being inserted into my skin and they took their time with me. Greatly appreciated would absolutely recommend to anyone! Thank you all!

I had an absolutely amazing experience at true expression! Paul sat down with me before Sebastian took me to get my piercing and gave me a run down of everything including the aftercare. Both piercers answered any questions I had and made sure I was comfortable. Once Sebastian took me into the room he was able to make small talk with me that made me feel super comfortable and talked step by step through every process. The studio was also super clean and I’ve never experienced a studio that asks you to book follow up appoints so it just shows how much they care.

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!

Very professional environment and staff. Heavy attention paid towards sterilization and education before any actual activity. Staff is very supportive during entire session helping walk through anxiety and nervousness ensuring comfort and calm mind at time of procedure. I would highly recommend them for all your piercing needs/interests.

Very professional and friendly, the piercing was fast and the piercer explained everything along the way. I wasn't allowed to use my own earrings but that was a minor issue after the amazing service I received. Would definitely recommend and return myself in the future.

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.
