They had cheap surgical stainless steel jewelry. Im normally pierced with titanium with 18 karat gold covering it. I bought some nose rings but they look like something I could have got off Amazon way cheaper. Its been some days and Ive not had a reaction to this in my nose so hopefully I wont since my piercing is healed. The lady that changed out my jewelry was very nice and did a great job. Would I go get a piercing with surgical stainless steel there? No titanium only. Too many allergies. They assured me theres no nickel in these but time will tell.

Kristi is AMAZING!!! She pierced my six year old daughters ears, not a squeal of pain or tear was shed. Shes convinced Kristis magic snap is exactly how her ear rings came to be perfectly placed!Dont debate, dont look any further. Save your ears from blunt force trauma associated with piercing guns and go the licensed, professional, and safest way available!

Christy is an amazing piercer. She did a fantastic job with my daughters double helix piercing. She noticed right away that she was feeling woozy and did everything she could to make her feel better before she would let us leave. I felt like we were in amazing hands!

I walked in to get my nose pierced a couple of months ago and Kristi did such a good job on it!!! I went in today for my very first tattoo and the artist did such an amazing job!! I was speechless!! Definitely getting Raf to do all of my tattoos in the near future!! Definitely helped me go through my first tattoo with so much ease! He was so kind to talk to!!!!

Went and got my first tattoo done yesterday and Tim was amazing. He did an amazing job and made sure it looked great. I will definitely be going back to him.

I had never been in a tattoo parlor before I had come here so as a complete virgin in the art of inking, piercing and bodily modification I was utterly relieved and delighted with my experience here. I love the decor and atmosphere of the store and the staff was very professional, polite and made sure to answer any questions and was overall very transparent and helpful to me as a first time customer. They were also very reassuring to any anxieties about the procedure. I would consider this a very good first experience and I would highly recommend for those in the area who are seeking any services in regards to tattoo art and body piercings.

Hannah was amazing !! She pierced my and my friend’s nose months ago and was so friendly ! She made me comfortable through the whole process. Would definitely recommend and come again !

My daughter got the Helix piercings. It was quick and painless. The tech was awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable. She did a great job.

Crystal did a fantastic job on my gestalt Panda Brooks. I wasnt expecting the detail on the inner ears, but after 2 weeks it started to show up. The green eyes match my own. I simply love it!

Really clean facility and friendly staff. Had my piercings done by Hannah and she was super sweet and very kind. Tim Burger did my first tattoo and he did an amazing job! I will forever come back to him and this shop for all of my tattoos.

Justin is was excellent. Great to talk to and wonderful tattoo

LOVELY experience! Tava was so sweet and knowledgeable, and made it super quick and easy! It was clean, a wonderful atmosphere, and I am coming back here for my second industrial!!!

Great place, very pleased. The piercer I had, Kristi, is truly phenomenal and knows her stuff! Best piercing experience Ive had in Alabama.

The employees were super nice. Tava was awesome. She was very sweet, thorough, and patient.

I chose Tattoo Expression for my forward helix piercing and rook piercing jewelry change because of the rave Google reviews- and the experience did not disappoint! Kristi was the kindest, most knowledgeable piercer I have ever worked with, she made me feel at ease by explaining everything to me, and helping me with my breathing during the piercing! This was money well spent and I was so impressed by the shop and the staff. If you want your piercings done well and correctly, go here!!!

It was very clean and all of the artists had on masks and required all customers to as well. The whole staff was so cool and nice...I highly recommend!!

I didn’t feel welcome. Tava did the piercing and did a good job but had a terrible attitude initially, and acted like I was inconveniencing her. They were overpriced. Customer service could use a lot of work. The whole operation was extremely pretentious.

Thank you Crystal! What a phenomenal piece of art you created out of pieces of an idea I handed you!!

I got 2 lobe piercings and a Helix piercing here the other day! I was super nervous going in since I haven’t had my ears pierced since I was 5... but let me tell you... Hannah made me so comfortable. She was super nice and informative throughout the whole experience. I would definitely go to her again next time I get a piercing done!

Awesome place to go if you are needing to get a tattoo or piercing. Crystal is the best and her work speaks for itself.

Tim took me on as a walk-up. Did a fantastic job on a nice piece on my forarm. Price and quality was excellent. Will definitely recommend this place to others. Thanks Tim! 😉

Had a really good experience getting a tattoo here it was my first one crystal was fast and reassuring.

Raf is the truth!!!! Wife got her memorial for her Mom.I cant wait to get my tattoo, which tells my story.

I had my eyebrow pierced here. Very pleased. They were very quick and clean and the piecer was very kind and informative! I recommend this place!

Great experience! Raphael did all my tattoos! He is a great artist and super nice guy! Thank u Raphael!

Great people, great atmosphere. Very clean place and very clean work. Crystal does an excellent job with piercings and tattoos.

So clean! Professional and nice. Nothing seedy or intimidating about going here.

I got a tattoo here when I was 18 and was told I could get a touch up anytime. Went back to ask a few questions since I figured my original artist was no longer there. The artist rudely told me no one could notice the imperfection in my tattoo that could be easily fixed. I also asked about getting another tattoo on my hip. Wanted to know about how much a small one would be and showed a picture for reference of a similar size and design. She then told me I needed to “do more research.” Did not know you could no longer talk to an artist about a design to see their thoughts. So rude. So unhelpful. My sister was also wanting a piercing but we will not be back. Probably $200-$300 in business we will be taking elsewhere.

My 3.5 year old requested that her ears be pierced in July. I told her after the summer we would get them pierced so that I didnt have to worry about the water--pool/lake/beach. I had planned on getting them pierced at her pediatricians office, but due to covid, they werent doing piercings. In researching other places that will pierce, I came across Tattoo Expressions. I called and asked if they could pierce my 3 year old (yes) and what items are needed (her birth certificate and my id). Our experience was amazing. Miss Kristi was personable and very friendly. She was patient with my daughter and made it so that my daughter barely noticed when she was pierced. No tears! I highly recommend them!

Very professional and good price for service. Tava was patient and knowledgeable.

I went to get 3 conch piercings, didnt have enough to eat so I almost passed out on the second one. Kristi took such good care of me to help me get back to homeostasis. Gave me a coupon and told me to come back when I was feeling better and swelling went down. They really take care of you there. Only place Ill go to get pierced

I got my nostril pierced by Tava and they took the time to make sure it was perfectly aligned with my nostril piercing on the opposite side. The staff is super professional and knows what theyre doing. This is the first place Ive gone to that has handed me a printed out aftercare sheet which was awesome! Ill definitely be back:)

Highly recommend this place for your tattoo/piercing needs, especially Miss Crystal 🔮 Shes pretty amazing!

Crystal Swann does amazing work. Shes VERY professional. Shes done 3 of my tattoos. Never had trouble with any of them ! All I can say is you get what you pay for. You want an amazing tattoo done by an amazing artist ? ASK FOR CRYSTAL SWANN. I promise you wont regret it

Just got my navel pierced not even an hour ago by Tava. She was clean, quick, and super welcoming. As soon as i walked in i felt so welcome and at ease. Crystal was super helpful while helping fill out forms and just made me and my mother feel so welcome. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone. 10000/10000

I am looking at coming in for my next tattoo tomorrow or Saturday. Ive seen Crystal Swanns work on a friend, shes amazing!

They were really helpful and amazing. I got my navel pierced by Tava and she was literally the best.

Very friendly all the staff are so cool. And clean. Loved the music and my tattoo artist Crystal was so sweet. Very precise it took a second to get those stars right but she did it.

My friends and I had such a good time. It was the fastest and most efficient tattoo and piercing we have ever gotten. Will be coming back soon. Highly recommend!!

I enjoyed being working with Crystal toward the vision of my tattoo. She has great artistic vision and added value to what I had in mind. Great work! And shout out to Tava for her wonderful personality! 🙏🏼💛🌳

Went to get my nose pierced. They were very clean, professional, and informative. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. This will be my future go to for any tattoos or piercings.

I will never use another shop. Their artists are amazing, professional, and talented. Great environment, safe, and clean. I personally recommend Crystal for tattooing and tava for piercing. I highly recommend this shop

Crystal is amazing thats exactly what you asked for!

Awesome experience. Crystal is an amazing artist. Shes polite, professional, and talented. The other staff is reliable and friendly as well. Will be returning soon!

I recently got my septum piercing done here and my girlfriend and her cousin both got their nostrils done. Tava is AMAZING! She was very kind, patient, and professional. She made sure that we were happy with our placements, and that we were comfortable enough before starting. She talks you through everything so calmly and it really helped my nerves settle down some. I would recommend her a million times to anyone for any type of piercing!

Crystal is awesome. The excellent talent that you only hope to find in a tattoo artist. I will return.

They are awesome!! Excellent work and super friendly!!!

Went in for a nose piercing for my daughter. Tava was our piercer and she was fantastic! She covered all the things to do and especially what not to do. She walked us through the entire process and if I were to get a piercing I would go see her.

Got my nose pierced here and it was a wonderful experience. Quick and minimal pain, they were very friendly and really helped calm my nerves.

Ive never been tattooed by them but I have gotten two nose piercings and the staff is very friendly and warm. Id say they are more welcoming than many of the shops in the area.

No turning back! My 13 yr old daughter got a nose piercing here and they were excellent!!

A bit over priced for one small tattoo. 😞One of the artist didnt seem interested in doing the job (his demeanor) when asked his availability. Which was a definite turn off for us. 🤷‍♀️The place seemed clean and well ran.

They were great! We drove 6 hours to the artist there, Crystal Swan, to continue work on a sleeve that shes been working on for a while. While there, they had a friendly, clean environment. The other people there were nice and polite. Crystal also has a gentle hand and does a good job with the tattoos.

My wife wanted to get her nose re-pierced. We called up, they had a slot, we ran in, got it pierced, and ran out. They were super cool about it. Super helpful, and super friendly.

Super friendly staff and they are fantastic artist. I got my doubles, tragus, and industrial done there and they all turned out great!

Hannah & Crystal were awesome!!

Great service, love Tava for all shes done, and otherwise awesome staff. Piercings have all been great when done by her, but one staff worker with brown hair (dont know her name) has never shown where she put the dot, and piercings have been in wonky places. She doesnt put the ball on all the way, and it falls off halfway back home. Otherwise I love this place, very solid.

Very nice staff! I went in for a belly piercing and she was very gentle and sweet and funny! I had Takia, i think that’s her name but best place to get pierced at :)

The people here are extremely sweet and trustworthy! I had a bad experience before them at a different shop and they totally made up for it. I definitely recommend them!

Son got pierced. Super clean, friendly, and professional! Plan on going back for ink and piercings.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I had a tattoo done here about 4 years ago and its still in perfect condition. I have also had 2 piercings done here and theyve done an excellent job on them! 10/10 recommend coming here 🤗

Tava is amazing! I git my nose re done and also got my moms done and she was so sweet and explained everything to my mom. We love Tattoo Expressions! I tell everyone about it!

Absolutely will not go anywhere else. Tava has done my past 5 piercings and I refuse to use anyone else. I live nowhere near Pelham but she is so professional, clean, and precise. 100% recommend her if youve never been pierced or have been 100 times. You will not be disappointed.

The young lady that did my wifes nose piercing was so nice and professional. The shop was extremely clean and organized. And the artwork on display is amazing. Highly recommend! Definitely worth the drive for us, will be back!

Tava did an amazing job with my piercings. I had double lobes on both ears and I hardly felt a thing. I highly recommend

I got my belly button pierced at another tattoo shop and had the worst experience resulting in having to get it redone later on which I did here. The staff was very nice and had many choices on jewelry. Highly recommend.

Tava is SUPER GREAT at piercing! Had my nose pierced Saturday. The staff is really welcoming and the after care instructions are very detailed. The artwork and atmosphere is very cool

In and out, great customer service!

Omg! They were so nice, friendly, and helpful! They were very clean and quick. I was told to come back if I have any further issues with my piercing. Ill definitely be going back!

Great service. Very clean. Speedy, but excellent work. Go see Crystal Swann for all your tattoo desires.

Very friendly and professional staff

Very professional from the time you walk through the doors! Artist are very professional and not just interested in popping a tattoo on you any old way, but they take the time to size and place the tattoo where it will look the best, and at the same time respecting how it fits and looks next to work you already have, and staying mindful of surrounding space for future tattoos. Really hard to find shops that actually care about your tattoo as if it was their own! And some of the best Artist in the business have landed here at this shop! very impressed with the professional experience and look forward to coming back!

I was looking for a place to get a simple black tattoo done and found this place. I was super impressed with them! Their shop was super neat and clean and everyone their was super friendly and helpful. Not only did I get my simple tattoo I wound up getting a realistic tiger tattoo that I have been wanting to get done for years but have been unable to find an artist that I have seen work from that I was willing to trust to do it. I saw Justins work and had him do one on me. I absolutely LOVE it. He is a super artist and my tiger is absolutely outstanding! I cannot say enough about how great his work is. I highly recommend them!

The staff was very professional and accommodating to my daughter.

I recently got my nose pierced by Tava. She was so sweet and eased my nerves. The piercing didn’t hurt at all and it was over in 3 seconds. She was very informative on how to care for it. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! It looks great!

Very clean shop with a knowledgeable staff. They were super kind and understanding of me being nervous and anxious for my first piercing, but they made the experience really relaxed. Id recommend this place for anyone getting a piercing, be it their first or otherwise.

DO NOT GET YOUR EARS PIERCED HERE. i went in a while ago and wanted a double cartilage piercing. i had read reviews and was educated on how clean a place should be etc. they were friendly and talked me through everything. but when it came to the actual piercing, they used the same needle for both piercings. HUGE NO NO (but i didnt know that at the time.) although i was educated, i wasnt as educated as i could have been. but any credible piercer will know not to use the same needle on multiple piercings regardless that its the same person getting pierced. if youre looking for a good cleanly piercer go to revolution ink down the road. they show you the sterile process in the room and they use sterile gloves where as here they used just clean ones. i ended up losing the piercings and wasting over $90. please educate yourselves!

Got my nose pierced here about a year and a half ago by Crystal, very pleased with the overall experience! Will definitely return in the future, hopefully for ink next time.

Recently got a second hoop in my nose done by Tava along with my girlfriend getting her septum and my cousin getting her first piercing ever. Needless to say nerves were on edge but, as soon as we walked through the doors the nervousness all went away with how Tava treated us and made us feel as if we were at home. Customer service was beyond expectations and patience was absolutely incredible not to mention the piercings went as smooth as you could possibly imagine. Will forever support and respect this shop and the employees who work here you guys are awesome!! Thank you again Tava!!

Excellent customer service. Raf is the man too see

14, 15, 17 year old girl getting belly button pierced.Great service, Friendly people, the lady who did their piercings was very good with them. She was gentile, patient, & explained exactly what she was going to do.♦️ BE SURE TO HAVE A PARENT & YOUR ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE ( not copy) if you are under 18.

Jeff Fredrick does amazing work, this is one of the only places that tattoos minors and they made the whole process very easy and were very welcoming! I will for sure be back in the future!

Awesome Darren has done quite a few of my tats and I love them.. very good artist I highly recommend this place

Thank you Jeff!

Loved my experience here!! Got my nose pierced last night, and it was awesome. Tava made the entire experience easy for me! Definitely recommend this place!

Tim was awesome. My tattoos look great. Clean, friendly & I will definitely be going back!

The technician who performed my daith piercing was very professional. Hope this prevents the migraine headaches.

I got my tongue web pierced this past Friday and on a pain scale it was a 7/10. Never in my life have I ever experienced a piercing so painful and I know that everyones experience is completely different but Ive been told by many different people, even professionals that this piercing should be painless. Turns out the piercer actually pierced my muscle too and put in a barbell that was WAY WAY WAY too small to accommodate for swelling. My tongue ended up swelling so bad that I couldnt even swallow my saliva because it was so painful. With the barbell being to small, it actually engulfed one side of it and grew over. I ended up going to a different shop today to get it looked at but in the end, they had the cut one side of my tongue and pull the whole barbell out of my tongue. The craziest part of this whole experience is getting the jewelry cut out of my mouth was actually A LOT more pleasant than getting pierced. I actually called Tattoo Expression and I explained what happened to the girl who answered and all she said to me was and? acting like it wasnt a big deal. I guess, the piercer wasnt the only one who made a mistake because I did choosing tattoo expression. If anyone is looking to get a new piercing, just go somewhere else.

Great place nice people. Will be returning for more tattoos and piercings!!

Friendly, very professional staff

Jeff is my artist for life. Always has and always will take care of me! Thank you brother.

Great job. The place was clean, organized, they were very friendly, Id go back there again and definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to get a great tattoo done

Awesome place and Crystal is an amazing artist!!

My daughter just got her 1st tattoo and it was a great experience. Friendly staff, clean and professional. I have a feeling shell be back for another one.

Amazing place great people. Jeff is a true artist

Very friendly help me with my piercing that was jacked up thanks

Receptionist was extremely rude.

Super clean. Fast piercings, and very professional

Got my daith piercing done here. I was way nervous, but theyb made me very comfortable and did an amazing job. I could almost tell IMMEDIATE relief from my migraines.

Great shop. Justin is awesome, plan to return for more work.
