Express Yourself Tattoos & Body Piercing - Tattoo and piercing shop in Lackawanna - 1101 Ridge Rd, USA

My daughter and friend both got their ears pierced yesterday and the guy did a great job. He explained everything and was very efficient. Great experience.

Highly recommended! Dave M. is AMAZING! Great work, and always willing to work with you to get exactly what you want, as well as what is the best direction to take. My cover-up on an old tattoo which was extremely dark and deep, came out absolutely phenomenal. I won't be going anywhere else for my tattoos now!

A very good friend of mine used to be a piercer here and she did many of my piercings and always did an amazing job. Sadly, she's no longer with us so for many years I didn't feel right about going back there. Well, this year around my birthday, my friend and I decided to go there since it's close and less expensive than CowPok (which is who I'd usually go to nowadays). The experience overall was...meh, to say the least. The woman at the front desk was rude and abrupt and didn't make me feel very confident about getting my philtrum repierced but, I decided to just go through with it anyways. Tbh, the piercer actually did a great job and made me feel calm and comfortable. The piercing itself was fone quickly, professionalky and virtually painlessly! He also did a great job on my friends septum so I'd give him at least 4 or 5 stars just on his own. The front desk woman though... and the cramped and hot studio is really the main thing that brings the place down a few stars. I do like the prices, and while the selection of jewelry isn't vast, it's good quality and I've never had any issues with that. In conclusion, Id go back if I'm not in a financial position to go to CowPok.

There amazing, they are the place to go if you have any questions about the piercings that you get from them and they are efficient. They open all of the stuff they use in front of you, like the needle and the piercing "ring". And they make sure you know how to take care of it, they give you stuff to clean it or tell you what stuff to get and what stuff to avoid.

BEWARE!!!!! My daughter recently visited this place to get her septum pierced, and my god! The male piercer used her as his little lab rat. It was as if this was his first time piercing an actual human rather than fake skin. This man made the entire experience very traumatic, to the point where my other daughter and son then changed their minds and refused service. The first warning sign should've been that he had my daughter lay down and pierced her septum standing over her, when all the videos and research we did prior showed everyone sitting up. He did not check in with my daughter before the initial needle insertion. He then decided to take out the fresh piercing and re-pierce the same location for an additional 5 times, not asking for consent or confirmation a single time. She was visibly in distress, but was not given an option of no longer going through with the piercing. At the end, even after all that poking and prodding, the septum was still crooked! If someone doesn't have the correct body autonomy for a piercing, I believe the piercer has an obligation to let them know and refuse the piercing. She was bleeding very heavily, and after a couple hours, had to take it out. Do not ever come here.

Clean and friendly establishment. Fast to get an appointment and understanding when one of us had to cancel and the day of were reasonable when we were running late. Even though it said no video recording they allowed us to video. Pricing was reasonable good variety of jewelry to select from. Forms were easy to read and understand. Only required photo id and birth certificate of minor to be priced as well as adults Id. Took less than 15 min. Also supplied us with the cleansing salt and instructions on how to clean the piercing.

I got my nose pierced here and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The staff was friendly and professional. I was able to book my appointment the day of, only a few hours out. Shop is clean and sanitized. Highly recommend!
