Best Tattooing & Piercing near me in Downtown Flushing, New York

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 ; )

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!

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.

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.

I had a great experience! The staff is really helpful and nice. I got my second earlobe piercing with Sebastian. He did an amazing job. He is patient and makes sure the piercings are even.

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.

Absolutely phenomenal!! Not only do I love the way my piercings came out and feel completely confident that I know how to care for them, but the people there made all the difference in the world. I went in completely terrified (I’m so scared of needles), and came out perfectly calm. Everyone was so calm and friendly. I would recommend this studio to everyone, even people who are as nervous as I am!!

I had so much fun getting my Helix Piercing. I was greeted by Steph and Sebastian at the front and the piercing was done by Sebastian. They are super super super super super clean there (think, doctor's office, but with style), and super super super friendly and answered every single question I had. The piercing came out so beautiful with the jewelry they suggested to me. I definitley want to come back for another in the near future. Thank you!

I’m super pleased with my second experience with this studio! My first - septum piercing is gorgeous and was painless. This time I came to do double earlobes and wasn’t set on the third one. I got a great assistance from Paul suggesting me what would fit best for my ear anatomy. I didn’t feel rushed and could take my time carefully choosing the best suiting jewelry that would work together as a single setup. I’m obsessed with how my ear turned out! Thank you so much! I’ll definitely come back again, and already sent friends your way<3

True Expression never disappoints. Every time I have gone, whether for a piercing or a simple checkup, the entire staff has been friendly, knowledgeable, accomodating, and efficient. I am immensely pleased with the septum piercing I got today; I look forward to getting more work done with them in the future, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality studio.

Sebastian is a pleasure to work with! He answered all my questions about potential ear piercings. He even drew a diagram to help me visualize where the piercings would go.

I brought my 2 boys, minors, for an earlobe piercing. The person in the front greeted us and showed us the different varieties of earring to my kids and they got to chose their own. As soon as my kids were done choosing, the piercer named Paul made my kids understand the responsibilities of having a piercing and explained throughly on how to care for the piercing. It was very quick and professionally done. And they even do a follow up check up. I’m so glad I chose this place.

Sebastian was amazing! Very knowledgeable and he made the experience fun and pleasant! The cleanliness of the studio was stellar and he maintained a sterile workspace throughout the piercing. Expression piercing studio not only raises the bar but sets a gold standard for their craft. Do not even consider any place else, they are the best!!! Not to mention that five days after getting my nipple pierced I have felt zero pain, no bleeding, no soreness, not even a little bit. The studio is 100% nickel free, which means that there is no risk or concern for allergies! Five stars!

I was informed on a lot about my piercings and learned many new things about different piercings and I felt comfortable/ I would recommend getting piercings here

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.

This is the only place to get a piercing done. The studio is immaculate, and the staff is highly skilled, knowledgeable and inspire well-deserved confidence in their clients. This was my fifth piercing at True Expression and as always, Paul did an amazing job. He is a thorough professional, as is Sebastian, who has also done a piercing for me, with which I am thrilled.

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.
