Expressive Ink Tattoo

I had the pleasure of getting my third tattoo by @thejerseyjade and they did not disappoint. This piece is just as beautiful as my last and I’m already ready for my next. Not once did I feel uncomfortable during this four hour piece. Jade was continuously checking in on me to make sure I was ok and giving me breaks if needed. The piece is stunning and I can’t wait to finish my sleeve with them. 😍😍😍😍

I had the best experience with Mike! The care and detail he took to explain the intricate details of what I wanted for what will be my first micro-tattoo was greatly appreciated!!! He spent a significant amount of time making sure all my questions were answered and providing me stencil examples. Expressive Ink, you are lucky to have Mike! I will definitely come back with my girlfriend to book! Thanks again Mike! Appreciate you!

I had the pleasure of getting multiple tattoos done by Michael Nelson, and I cant say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, it was an absolute delight, and I couldnt be happier with the results.Michael is an incredibly talented artist. His attention to detail and skill in bringing my visions to life was truly impressive and executed flawlessly. The lines are clean, and the shading is impeccable, resulting in tattoos that exceeded my expectations.But its not just about his technical expertise – Michael also has a fantastic ability to connect with his clients. He took the time to listen to my ideas, offered valuable insights, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. His professionalism and friendly demeanor created a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere in the shop.I wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone seeking a top-notch tattoo artist. His artistry, professionalism, and commitment to client satisfaction makes him an outstanding choice. I couldnt be happier with my tattoos, and Im already looking forward to my next appointment with Michael. Thank you for making this experience so memorable and enjoyable!

Whether it is your first tattoo or your 100th this truly is a professional, clean studio with helpful staff and amazing artists. Four of my tattoos were done at Expressive Ink in Wharton by Kelly Raguso and I could not be happier! The studio is well light and very clean, the staff is wonderful and work with you to make your design your own. Haha I know I have the State of NJ and EVERYONE has one, but I used my Star Level Spin to pin my location in the State so it truly is my own. I recently went to the Wilds in Ohio and had a hands on experience with a giraffe and my next tattoo from Kelly will be of that giraffe from one of my pictures. Her portrait works are amazing and her watercolors are spot on. I have seen the works by many of the artist that work for Expressive Ink and am at awe on the quality and artistic designs.

Expressive Ink is one of those places where you walk in and you immediately feel calm and welcome. Ive been tattooed by Kelly twice and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality tattoo! Not only does she have a spectacular personality, shes super creative and will take your tattoo vision to the next level! The shop is super clean and the pricing is fair. I absolutely love Expressive Ink and will return for more tattoos in the future! Thank you, Kelly!

Jillian made me feel so comfortable, I felt very welcome and I’m super happy with my tattoo. Thank you Jillian. I’ll be back :)

Tattoo got infected next day due to artist over working the skin. Also tattoo was left with many scars. Very unprofessional work! Was suppose to get a free touch up but due to certain circumstances i wasn’t able to get it done immediately. Now artist wants to charge for a tattoo that was poorly done. Keep in mind I paid $900 already and being charged even more for the touch up! You can clearly see the scars/ raised lines in the tattoo

I cant speak to the Randolph location or any other artists, but Tommi N at the Wharton location is so great. Her consultation was easy and thorough, I didnt feel rushed at the appointment, and she finished my gorgeous black and white cat face tattoo in 15 minutes. She is an amazing artist, but also very kind. Misty and I say thank you!

This location has been a favorite since day 1. Trent and his staff are very professional and experienced in their craft. Their knowledge has always been appreciated and made the process a lot easier. Their communication is always clear and direct. If I ever had any questions they have always answered them with ease. The best thing I love about Expressive Ink is the staffs professionalism and cleanliness of the shop. Highly recommend them. Awesome team they have there.

First and foremost, the shop’s atmosphere and friendly vibe is 5 star deserving in itself. This shops cleanliness is clearly a huge priority for them, as it is always well kept, and they take the extra time to make sure every piece of equipment is properly sanitized. I have been coming to Expressive Ink for a while now, and every experience is better than the last! Mike Nelson is my go to guy! Mike always makes sure you are 100% happy and confident before he performs any work. He always takes the appropriate time to make sure that the work he is going to do comes out perfect. The level of creativity and open-mindedness Mike portrays is something ALL artists should strive for! I wouldn’t even think about getting another tattoo anywhere else! Great people, great work, great vibes! I will be returning very soon!

Jade performed a very important cover up for me. It was in honor of my mom who passed away. It took 3 sessions with many hours, but I am so happy with the end result. My cover up came out absolutely beautiful. Jade worked very hard on this. They checked on me constantly during my sessions to make sure I was comfortable, feeling okay and always asked if I needed to take a break. I actually didnt feel a thing and it was a very pleasant experience. Jade is a very talented, patient person. They really care about their clients and want to give them the best experience possible. I will definitely be booking with them again when I decide to get my next tattoo. Thanks Jade for deciding to take this project on and for giving me something I can be proud to show off now. Check it out on @thejerseyjade on Instagram.

I owe all the awesomeness on my left arm to Expressive Ink and Kelly! The first ink was to honor my dog (who passed away a few years back). Kelly was so understanding and just amazing. I loved her work so much that when i wanted to get a Volvo wagon on my arm, I didnt think twice but to go to her. I cant wait to go back. The shop has such a great energy and Kelly really makes you feel like you are part of the Expressive Ink Family.

This is an EXCELLENT shop. Clean, good vibes and artistry to BOOT! Seriously, the amount of talent they have under one roof is absolutely incredible! They are all true ARTISTS. If you’re looking to collaborate on your own design idea or to just use one of their original pieces you won’t be disappointed (**they are all also super cool people to be around too which is a bonus**). Specifically Michael T Nelson who rocked my “delicate” forearm tattoo, I’ve been following him on his social media (@manikmiketattooism on Instagram) and his skill set range is epic. I’ll definitely be going back to Wharton (& MTN) in the future. 👍👍

Michael was awesome! I was a bit apprehensive for my first tattoo, but Michael made the experience enjoyable and relatively painless. Reasonably priced as well for such great work. Would definitely go back to him for another one.

My father, two brothers and I had Mike Nelson as an artist and he crushed our family tattoo out of the park! Could not be happier with the tattoo. Service and shop are amazing as well. Will 100% be coming back for more.

@thejerseyjade was so amazing in helping my sister and I design our first tattoo. The shop is very clean and welcoming. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to get a tattoo in the area!

Mr. Trent was incredible with my daughter. He is patient, kind, cool, interactive, and all around amazing. We asked to meet him a few weeks ago to see if my 3 year old daughter would be ok with him, since she can be apprehensive. After meeting him, she couldnt stop talking about Mr. Trent! He was the only one that was allowed to touch her ears until today when we went back to get her ears pierced. She helped sign her own paperwork and we were off to the races. Trent took us all back, sat Abby in the chair, and explained to Abby what each instrument was and how it was used. After winning her approval, he proceeded to pierce the first ear. At which point Abby let out a shriek and decided getting both ears done today would be too much for her. Trent remained calm and professional and assured her it was ok. Although we couldnt persuade Abby to continue with her other ear today, she began talking about getting the other ear done before we even got home. Trent is excellent with kids, and has won Abbys trust even through the inevitable discomfort she experienced. Once Abbys ear (and adolescent emotions) have healed, we will be back to see Mr. Trent to finish what we started.

I walked in with a friend without an appointment or heads up and the artists Mike and Jillian were so accommodating to us! They got to work and left us with amazing tattoos and memories. Would definitely recommend them :)

Walked in for 3 friends’ matching tattoos, Michael was very nice and respectful about everything. He is also straight forward with the pricing, he communicates well and knows what he’s doing. Thank you Michael, for the patience and laughs!

Jade was awesome! She designed and did my tattoo and it is ABSOLUTELY beautiful!! I love it! She took all of my pictures and read my mind. It came out perfect! Can’t wait to go back for another one 😃

I cant say enough good things about this place. Ive gotten at least 10 different pieces at both the wharton and randolph locations, a few are quite large, and Ive never been less than thrilled with the work. Tommi Nelson is my artist and shes AMAZING. Definitely recommend!

I knew from my consult with the owner, Trent, that I had made the right choice in choosing this tattoo parlor over others. Got my first tattoo July 2018...and I absolutely love it! Its exactly what I wanted. Trent was quick and did such a beautiful job. Hes also so down to earth, funny, and just an overall amazing person and artist. Makes getting tattooed by him that much better. I will definitely be back. The place is clean and everyone there makes you feel so comfortable. Thank you, Expressive Ink!

I made an appointment with Chris for a tattoo session for 4 people. He was so flexible and understanding of our different schedules, we were able to get an appointment without a problem. Every tattoo he did in our session was awesome. Everyone was well taken care of, comfortable, and so happy! The shop in general was super clean and inviting also. Chris was focused, detail oriented, not in a rush, and really gave us the best experience. We can’t wait to book with him again! I would definitely recommend Chris to anyone who wants an amazing tattoo, he’s definitely someone who takes pride in what he does and it shows.

Firstly, the shop is super-clean and the entire staff is friendly and accomodating. Tommi Joe has already done three pieces for me in a short period of time and a fourth is upcoming. Tommi is incredibly talented and meticulous with her craft. She is a true professional, who takes great pride in her beautiful work! Tommi is engaging and emits such a positive vibe which resonates throughout the shop. I referred a friend to her and his piece is amazing! If you want a top quality artist and a friendly atmosphere, I highly recommend making an appoinment with Tommi for your piece(s), Tommi is the absolute best!Mark K.

Expressive ink is so clean. Beautiful work is done there. Tommi Nelson is amazing, has great attitude and does an fantastic job. I love all my tattoos she has done. I’ve never had a problem here, everyone is so welcoming. The shop makes you feel like you are at home. Keep up the great work

Great place to go for tattoos everyone there is super chill and easy to talk to. Jillian and Tommi are amazing artists! They are so nice and patient and were super understanding when I needed to reschedule. Ill definitely be coming back for something by Abi :)

Expressive Ink is the best tattoo shop in NJ. The shop is always clean and all of the workers are super friendly and professional. Ive gone to Tommi for 5 of my tattoos and shes always done such a great job. Shes very flexible and will help make your tattoo look just how you pictured it. Plus, her personal designs are amazing! If youre looking for a tattoo shop I definitely suggest going here.

Michael did my tattoo and it came out AMAZING!!! Highly recommend

Got my very first tattoo yesterday and my experience was AMAZING! I have spent the last seven years wanting to get a tattoo that has a lot of meaning to me. And since I’m not one for pain I only wanted to get the one tattoo.I saw Tommi Jo’s work on 4 of my family members and I loved it. My other nephew had also gotten a tattoo from Expressive Ink in Randolph and it’s gorgeous work as well. Coming in I was extremely nervous, but Tommi really put me at ease right away. She explained every step And took her time with it. It only took 40 minutes and the end result is absolutely beautiful! 💜It’s everything I wanted and more! Truth be told I may want another tattoo in the future. Expressive Inc. has amazing artists and customer service in all of their locations! It’s an amazing experience and I highly recommend it! Especially for first timers like me.

My husband has a tattoo being done by Luis and its awesome love it I have been tattooed by Luis also he is awesome professional and makes it an experience worth every penny both shops are worth what you pay if you want quality you will find it in either shop Wharton or Randolph love you guys🥰❤❤

I’ve been coming to this shop for years and I am always thrilled with my experience. I’ve gotten tattooed here and guest spotted as an artist here. Trent and his crew have always treated me with respect, listened to my ideas and delivered amazing art work. This is my favorite shop in NJ. If you haven’t had the pleasure of getting a tattoo here you need to. All the artists are talented, kind and professional. Expect only the best from this shop!

I recommend expressive ink to anybody thats looking for a great tattoo experience. I got tattooed by Kelly, shes wonderful! She met my expectations and beyond! I am extremely happy with what she delivered and the quality of her work is FLAWLESS. Trent who is the owner is very professional and what i loved the most is that they consult with one another to make your tattoo as perfect as possible. I will definitely be returning!

My husband and I have frequented both Expressive Ink shops many times. Weve gotten Many tattoos by both Stephanie and Luis and every time is a great experience. The artists are very personable and always make it most enjoyable. The work is always fantastic and are pieces of art we are proud to have forever. We cant wait to get back in the shop again!

Had nothing but great experiences at this shop! Jill has tattooed me more than once and I am excited to go back to get another one of her flash pieces. Everyone there makes you feel right at home and its definitely a chill place to get a tattoo!

I have a few tattoos and have tried everything from the cheap guy in the basement (Which I definitely DO NOT recommend) to driving hours for the best...and most expensive tattoo.I went to Trent because I had admired his style on a friend. I walked in to a clean, neat shop with a friendly & calm atmosphere. I told Trent in very few descriptive words what I thought I wanted.A few weeks later, I arrived for my appointment. I will admit I was nervous, knowing I really did not give him much to go on. I was honestly blown away with the design Trent had come up with!! He hit the nail on the head the first time. My tattoo is feminine, but strong with clean lines....its beyond perfect!! I will definitely be back and have already recommended all my friends to Expressive Ink.

I love this place. Ive been going to Trent, the owner, for work on my tattoos since day one. Their work is phenomenal and each artist has their strong suit. The place is great for anyone looking for their first tattoo to someone looking to get a new piece. All the artist really have a way of making you feel very comfortable and relaxed through your session. Also, you want a place that is organized and clean then this is your spot. Im a a neat freak and they definitely met my standards. I would recommend anyone to go check out this place. I cant say enough about how great this shop is. If your in the area you should go stop by and say hello.

Got my first tattoo here today by Mike, and it was a wonderful experience. He was so kind and funny and overall it was the perfect first tattoo experience!

I went in for the 50$ gumball machine tattoos, and I got the spiderweb with the heart in the center, Michael did the tattoo and he was amazing, it’s my 2nd tattoo by him and I’ll definitely be coming back for a 3rd!!

Had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Michael Nelson, he was very knowledgeable about the placement and size of the tattooed compared to the location of where I wanted it. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking to get a tattoo.

Ive had two of my tattoos done by Kelly. She was able to take my ideas and translate them into art. I am the most unartistic person on the planet, so it was great to have someone understand my style and create something for me.The shop itself is friendly, clean and comfortable. It definitely doesnt have that pretentious feel Ive experienced elsewhere. My friends have gotten tattooed by other artists there, and theyve all been incredible.

I highly recommend getting your tattoo at Expressive Ink. I recently had two big pieces done by Stephanie and her work speaks for itself. I told her exactly what I wanted and she delivered. Not only are her lines clean and smooth but she takes her time so it comes out perfectly. I consistently get compliments on my shoulder tattoo from random strangers who stop me to tell me how awesome my tattoo is. The studio is super clean and very comfortable. Overall, both tattoos were amazing experiences and I highly suggest you check it out if you are looking for a new tattoo. I cannot say enough good things about Expressive Ink and especially Stephanie’s work!

I went here for my first tattoo and Trent did an awesome job! He was really patient with me and never rushed me. His shop is clean and he has a nice team that made me feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a quality shop. They will be doing my next tattoo.

Absolutely wonderful experience was very comfortable, Jay did my tattoo, In love with the tattoo I got. Highly recommend coming here.

I love all of the work that comes out of this shop. I will be a loyal customer to them forever and i always look forward to being a canvas for their art. My fiance and i are both infatuated with Kellys work and i will continue to go back until both of my arms have no room left to tattoo. She makes the entire process easy and enjoyable, and is very willing to accommodate her client. Best shop around and i always look forward to my next tattoo.

Kelly is fantastic. I went in with an old tattoo to brighten up and add on to it. She matched the existing one completely. I have since brought my daughter in for a small nose piercing and have recommended Expressive Ink to my friends and family. Both of my sons have been there numerous times for their sleeves. I will be back. Kudos to the staff.

Kelly does amazing work! Shes done two tattoos for me plus a touch up and all of it is fantastic. She was very helpful with design and placement and the work was flawless. I recommend her to everyone I know and I cant wait to go back for my next tattoo!

Kelly seemed cool, tattoos looked great and they healed nice.However the receptionist made a strange comment about my hair looking fake (rather thoughtless and insensitive), and asking if she could touch it...yikes. Decided to try other places with more diverse team after that.*Response to owner: Kelly K was there quite a while ago when I last went (about 4 yrs ago). As for the no receptionist comment...doesnt really make sense considering this woman was at a desk and I was told to give her my info to schedule my appt with Kelly K (again, quite a while ago). Assuming this is Expressive Ink on Wharton NJ I definitely have the right place.

Best place to get a tattoo!! I have been going to this local shop for several years and it just gets better every time! It is a very welcoming and clean environment which are too tier qualities in a tattoo parlor! I have been seeing Tommi for all my tattoos the past few years and she is PHENOMENAL!!!! Her passion for art and the tattoo industry is amazing. I highly recommend this shop!!! (And Tommi!!!) thank you for the amazing work all you guys do!!! ☺️☺️

I am a former piercer and going to this place was such a great encounter.It is such a sanitary place, I would feel comfortable doing weird things on any surface!A few years back I walked into this shop and the owner, Trent welcomed me in. I immediately felt at home; this place has a soothing atmosphere - also they play good jams. So, Trent pierced me. It was a really awesome experience, he is good at taking the mind off the fact that you are making a painful hole in your body. He was thorough yet quick in going over the after care and provides a lot of great care products in shop!Trent bends all of his jewelry on site to ensure that the jewelry perfectly fits each individual - I had never seen this before, I was just always thinking that my face was oddly shaped and jewelry didnt fit it, but in retrospect I now know that no one knew how to handle the product.Expressive Ink Tattoo is mainly a tattoo shop, obviously, BUT their inventory of body jewelry is impressive! I have one particular piece I really like. Trent is the only shop in NJ or a lot of the places all over US Ive looked that has the size septum ring I prefer in my nose, and its fairly priced!Last night I went to Expressive Ink Tattoo for a tattoo! Now I have a few pieces already, but I feel cheated of my experiences after going to Trent. I dont even feel the artwork lives up to his!We came in with a drawing and Trent perfected it while preserving it. The tattoo came out better than the real thing. The lines are so delicate and tiny yet perfect - I just cant stop looking at it and its in a weird ass place..While I was there I priced out some other things I had wanted. Because the pricing was attainable I got more on the spot. Trent accommodated the additions with no hesitation despite my being early for my appointment and him having an appointment after me. I have wanted wrap lines on me for years and recently in the last two years I started my investigation. After being turned away from so many tattoo artist saying that it was not something they couldnt do because the lines were too thin or the price was insane for something that size - but when I asked Trent his response was something like - Yeah sounds cool Im excited! We chatted the whole time he worked and he didnt seem to mind my awkward questions about his profession. I feel it is important to enjoy your artist, feel comfortable in the shop and be really happy with the outcome of the work - all three are personally an understatement in my case.I wouldnt go anywhere else. Great Great Great place!!!!!

My wife & I found were shopping for a tattoo shop and found Expressive Ink. She were so impressed by the cleanliness of the shop and how accommodating the staff was, that she decided to get her tattoo done on the spot. 6 months later, I returned to Expressive Ink to get my tribal heart back piece done. I spent 4 hours with Trent and was able to connect with him on so many levels. A great guy with an impressive shop. I highly recommend Expressive Ink and look forward to returning.

Great experience!! My brother and I got matching tattoos with Ryan as our artist. Ryan was very clean, professional, VERY TALENTED, and was the nicest guy! We drove an hour and a half and it was worth every second and every cent. The work speaks for itself!

This is BY FAR the best shop I have ever been to! Trent is an AMAZING artist and awesome person to talk to. Getting tattooed is a lot better when you can have a good conversation with the artist and Trent definitely makes that possible. The shop is gorgeous and has a very calming vibe which is also great when getting tattooed or pierced. I would ABDOLUTLY recommend Expressive Ink Tattoo to everyone!

This is by far the best place to get a tattoo!!! Tommi gave me the most beautiful tattoo and I honestly had a great time while she was doing it. Shes super nice, funny and easy to talk to as well as being beyond incredibly talented! If you are looking for a comfortable experience and an incredible artist please reach out to Tommi asap

I couldnt be more Happy with my experience it was totally worth it! Kelly Kammerer was my artist, she is very professional and a Beautiful Person.Go with confidence you will not be disappointed. Awesome Artist took the time to work with me , and helped me make such a beautiful tattoo, clean space and very friendly staff! Thank you

I went here less than a month ago to get my first tattoo ever. It was a great experience. Luis was the tattoo artist I chose based on the sample work visible on their website (they have 2 locations).The process was seamless, and Luis was professional.I’m strongly considering going back for a 2nd tattoo in the near future and there’s a pretty high chance I’ll have it done at Expressive Ink in Wharton.Thanks!

Got my first tattoo here, loved it so much came back the following year to get another. Both were done by Tommi who was super nice through the whole experience. Made me feel very comfortable when I was a little nervous for the first one and she did a phenomenal job on both of my tattoos! Will probably go back to her for future artwork!

Best place to get a tattoo. I’ve been there numerous times and the staff is amazing. Very knowledgeable and know what they are doing. Can’t wait to go back!!! C ya soon!!

Cant say enough about this shop! The artists are top notch and they will never start the ink until you are 100% happy with the design. Whether its a concept in your head that they help you bring to life (like the butterfly and quote on my foot) or you have your own design, they are professionals through and through. When my 17 year old daughter came to me with a design she had drawn honoring her deceased grandparents, there was never a question of where to go. Trent took the time not only to refine the design while preserving my daughters artwork, but also spent time finding the perfect spot that would accommodate her wishes and mine! I wouldnt go anywhere else and there is no where else I would recommend.

Had a very favorable experience at the shop, it is clean, everyone is friendly, and the artists can do exactly what you have in mind. I had work done by an artist who is no longer there and one of the apprentices and both times I was amazed by the quality of the work done. I recommend the shop to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing. I am definitely going back for future ink.

Kelly is the BEST!!! I came in with a design and she duplicated it exactly for me. I am thrilled with my beautiful work of art. She is professional and the sweetest lady ever. She is a true artist and can rock any tattoo you want!!!

I just got my 6th tattoo this past Saturday and Trent exceeded my expectations. It was my first full color piece and he knocked it out of the park. I am getting compliments left and right about how awesome it is and where I went. As usual the shop was super clean and you could tell as soon as you walked in. The staff is always really friendly and up for some laughs. Overall I will recommend Expressive Ink to anyone who asks me where I go for my work. Small little Wharton,NJ has a diamond in the rough. Check it out if youre in the area.

Trent is truly an artist. He was very patient and worked with me on creating a tattoo that was perfect for me. He takes his work seriously and will tell you if he doesnt think something will work. His shop is very friendly and easy to find. I didnt feel out of place there and everyone was very nice. I have another tattoo (one that I had done when I was right out of high school) and the experience doesnt even compare to having Trent do my last tattoo. Expressive Ink Tattoo is top notch. I will NEVER go anywhere else.

I’ve had multiple tattoos done by multiple artists at both locations, always incredible work and the artists are so friendly, i recommend the shop to everyone!

I came the first time last Thursday luie did my tat .I never had fine line before. I was worried but luie was amazing Im booking my next tat this week with him hes spot on and really takes pride in his work .true artist...as well I always need alot of breaks due to pain but 4 hours and only one bathroom break . No pain fantastic...highly recommend..-TODAT IS jUNE 24TH Luis did anotther amazing Jobo my tat. He cares about his art very highly he adds his own amazing creations to any tat iv gotten. I will be back soon I love your work thanks

I got my first tattoo here. I was extremely nervous about getting one, however the artist Stephanie made me comfortable & calmed me down. She did an amazing job, I got a tattoo of a heart of my wrist. I went with my best friend who also got a tattoo of ying & yang and the shading was unbelievable! I completely recommend going to Expressive Ink especially with Stephanie! Amazing talent!!!!

I gave 4 stars because my review is from April of 2013 and the artist who did my tattoo may not be there anymore or he may have grown as an artist since then. I had popped in with a small original design which the artist re-drew and then he tattooed me the same day. My 4 year old daughter was going in for open heart surgery and I wanted her initials in the shape of a heart. Simple enough. Everyone was really nice, the shop was clean and the price was great. No issues there. You deserve 5 stars for that for sure! I just had one small issue with my artist and that was that he was very heavy handed while tattooing the inside of my wrist. When I took the bandage off at home there were multiple open cuts on my wrist. It never got infected but, the healing process took well over a month and after a while, I had to use butterfly bandages for one section in particular that was wide open and not healing at all. Because of that I do have quite a bit of scarring. The line work wasnt exaclty on point either so, although it is the tattoo that is most special to me, it is not one that I like to show off and its kind of a bummer. Ive heard excellent things otherwise and the experience itself was great!

Really cant say enough about this place.Last minute my son,husband and I wanted to get tattoos, we called and Stephanie was glad to accommodate. We had all had tattoos prior, but we were so impressed with her lines,artistic talent and easy going personality !Definitely recommend her highly!

So there was some pros and cons. I had scheduled an appointment with a girl about 2-3 weeks ahead of time because I wanted to get my husband a tattoo on his birthday. The woman then called me on the day of and asked if I could come in earlier because she forgot it was a holiday (which is not my problem) I told her I would try because I was in New York city for the day for my husbands birthday. I then called her and told her I was on my way and that I was sorry I couldnt come earlier because of New York traffic. She sighed and seemed to have an attitude with me on the phone and told me if I didnt get there in 30 minutes that she wouldnt be able to do it and that she would leave. When I got there she was completely differently in person. She was very nice and her attitude changed and she also did an amazing job on my husbands tattoo. I just wish she wouldnt have given me attitude over the phone all because she forgot it was a holiday. So I recommend them for great tats, but customer service not so much.

The cleanest shops Ive ever set foot in are Expressive Ink in Wharton and Randolph. Ill never go anywhere else again, I trust everyone at the shops, Kelly and Steph do my tattoos and Trent does my piercings! I recommend them to everyone! Stunning works of art, friendly, helpful, clean... what more could you want?

Man ive been trying to get a specific tattoo for a minute but no one could draw what I was asking. I gave Chris just an idea of the tattoo I wanted and he created a masterpiece of art from my head to his paper to my arm. I absolutely love it not to mention Trent gave me one of my shoulder masterpieces as well. 100% love Expressive Ink and their artists.

My husband has gotten several tattoos from Trent and they have come out fantastic there is so much detail. He took his time drawing up the piece to make sure it was exactly what my husband wanted. The shop is clean and a very comfortable environment.

Expressive Ink is an amazing tattoo studio. Kelly Raguso has tattooed me three time, including wedding bands for my wife and me (which we love). Ive sent multiple people to her over the years, since she started out at another studio years ago. Yep, shes an artist worth following.I also have a tattoo from Stephanie, who is another great artist to work with.

Loved Michael! He was fantastic and we loved our tattoos! He was really friendly!

I went to Expressive Ink to purchase 3 tattoos as Christmas Gifts for my mom, my brother, and myself. After my grandparents passed away, we had all gotten matching tattoos with the name of my grandparents boat, as we used their ashes in the ink! (sounds weird, I know) but we did! We all went and got them done by Trent, and let me tell you... our experience was AMAZING and we were all comfortable getting them done by him! This was my moms first tattoo, and Trent made it such a great experience for her! After this wonderful experience, I had gotten another tattoo done by him as a birthday present. I had gotten a banksy tattoo done on my ribs, and he gave me an AWESOME price, and made me feel comforable during this time as well! He told me if I needed to stop because of pain or anything to let him know and that he had no problem with it! Thankfully I didnt need to, but just the fact that he was so understanding about how tender that spot was. He did a FANTASTIC job on my ribs, and everyone else loves it as well! I highly recommend Expressive Ink! I had a tattoo shop I was going to, that I stopped going to, because of how I was treated at Expressive! No disappointments at this shop! And, not only were they amazing for my tattoo experience, but I went in for having an infection on my industrial piercing (that wasnt done by them) and he gave me products to take care of my infection. I love this place, and i refer everyone here!!!! Thank you Trent and everyone at Expressive Ink for making my experiences with you guys amazing!

I have 8 tattoos and I love them all, the first two I got were done at other shops, but that was until I found out about Expressive Ink, where I was able to get my most recent 6 tattoos. All 6 were done by Trent who not only did a clean job on all of them but also was very open and helpful to my ideas when I initially came for consultation with my ideas. Aside from the clean and wonderful job done by Trent on my pieces, the shop has a positive and friendly vibe! Ive met most the artists and they are all very friendly which doesnt give it that feel that they are blood suckers who just want your money. Prices are fair and you get what you pay for! And even though it can be redundant, Trent always goes over the after-care instructions even though I insist that I know by now and laugh it off and dont want to hear, he still reiterates the importance! Now I havent been in awhile but thats only cause Im selectively creating my next idea but when I decide, I know where I am going, Expressive Ink!

I have wanted to get a cover-up for a tattoo i got years. i setup an appointment with Trent to discuss my ideas and options. he was very open to my ideas and came up with a great design. I had it done yesterday and am extremely happy with the with the work. I am telling everyone I know if they want a quality tattoo, this is the place to go. Thanks Trent.

Expressive Ink is a spotless, professional tattoo and piercing shop. They are helpful and kind to their customers. I have personally dealt with them many times and all of these times were great. They do beautiful art work that lasts a lifetime.

I recently had a cover up done by one of the artists there named kelly. She did an amazing job, i was so happy with the way it turned out!! i wasnt very hopeful i would be able to cover up a poorly done tattoo i received elsewhere but kelly quickly made me feel like it was going to be easy and something i was going to love... And she was right!! Not only did kelly do an excellent job, the whole experience was great. Very clean, all the artists where very nice, including the owner Trent who came over to take a look at kellys amazing work on my tattoo. i wouldnt go anywhere else!!

I have been tattooed by Kelly twice, and I cant say enough good things about my experience. Both times I gave her ideas, but left the actual designs up to her, and she slayed it. From the time I first walked in there, it felt like I was getting tatted by someone Ive known for years. I honestly cannot recommend Expressive Ink enough.

I was BLOWN away with the cleanliness, professionalism, kindness, and awesomeness of Expressive Ink. I have not personally had any services performed (yet), however I went with a friend as she got her belly button pierced. Not sure who performed the piercing, but they opened up every piece of equipment in front of us, showing that it is sanitized and clean, nothing was kept from us, he explained everything fully in terms of what was going to happen. He even went through the procedure to take care of it afterwards. I just stunned. I will be visiting for my first tattoo, and even though Im nervous, there isnt another parlor I would rather go to than Expressive Ink. Luckily I live in Wharton, but I would recommend driving here even if you live in Cape May, it will be worth it. Just a smartly run business who thrive on their art and word of mouth. A+ in every aspect imaginable.

This is a great local tattoo shop. I literally just recommended it to my cousin yesterday when she asked where she could go for a tattoo. I have had two tattoos done here, one by Trent and one by Steph and both came out awesome. The shop is super clean and the staff is friendly and professional. Trent has all kinds of cool offers throughout the year, so if you are looking for a first tattoo or something a little less expensive, you should like the Expressive Ink Facebook page or call the shop. He did $31 tattoos in October to celebrate Halloween and has done $13 tattoos to celebrate Friday the 13th. He also offers discounts on piercings and all sorts of other stuff. You never have to feel intimidated walking in here. Everyone is awesome. Stop in and see for yourself, you wont break the bank and youll love the results.

Called and got a last minute appointment. Staff were super friendly, and Jill was amazing. Very patient, and thorough, and a simple design but she made sure it was of the highest quality. I definitely recommend and will be back!

Eric (Randolph location) was awesome. Had an idea of what I wanted, he made his tweaks and my tattoo came out better than I expected, he killed it. He was able to fit me in when I was free. The shop was really clean and the atmosphere was great. If I get another one he is my man.

Am currently being tattooed by Tommi and she is awesome! The shop is clean and comfy and the staff is so nice. I will definitely be back here again the next time I am on this side of town.

Kelly is an amazing artist and Im so happy with the tattoo that I got from her. Shes super cool and funny too! Would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in a great tatt!

Trent is very talented and a skilled craftsman. weve been working on a half sleeve and chest piece for weeks everything has a tremendous amounts of detail.he takes his time rather then rushing session after session, he is sure to give your body adequate time to heal.this is why all of his work comes out very nice.

Kelly has done 4 tattoos and a half sleeve on me and Ill never go to anyone else, her work is perfect! Wish I found her sooner, she would have done all of mine! Will continue going to expressive ink :)

Got a tattoo from here a very special one as i got one for my dad who passed away the artist did not do a good job as there are full on chunks missing i took very good care of it and i understand tattoos fade but not a couple weeks after you get it and there shouldn’t be blank spaces in random spots..the problem is the artist didn’t go deep enough with the needle. I hit him up on instagram explaining the situation asked if I could come in and get a retouch for a discount cause why would i pay full price for a poor quality tattoo that cost me over $100 and wasnt done properly and he left me on read

Got absolutely top notch service and quality from Jade; could not be happier! All the artists have awesome designs.

I went there last weekend to get my sons a tattoo and then i went there to this weekend to get my self another tat. I highly recommend Stephanie. She is very artistic & creative. The place was very clean the employee were very nice & welcoming. The prices are very reasonable. I am planning my next vist already.

I had the BEST experience with Jade. Such an amazing artist, & great conversation. 10/10 starsssss.

I have been to a few other shops and after coming to Expressive Ink I will never go anywhere else. I never felt like I was being rushed and it was very important to my artist that I was 100% sure of where I wanted my tattoo and how big I wanted it. Very clean and comfortable environment, love this place!!

The shop is one of the better ones in the area I have seen.. My daughter has had all her tattoos done by Trent and her piercings. All Look and have come out great I have told many friends to go to them and had great work done.. If you had bad work then you asked for a Bad tattoo.. This is a very clean professional shop.

I absolutely love this place. They are really nice and do amazing work. Kelly did such an amazing job with the background of my half sleeve. I recommend this place to everyone who is looking to get a good quality tattoo.

Kelly is FANTASTIC. She managed to cover up an ugly black tribal I did when I was young and stupid, and I get SO MANY compliments on it! I will absolutely be going back for more -- I got a lot of young-and-dumb tattoos and Kelly is friggin magical!

Kelly Raguso has done multiple tattoos for me. Her work is outstanding. If anyone asks me where I get my tattoos I recommend Kelly. I live in PA and still travel to see her!

Ive gotten most of my tattoos (Done by Stephanie) at Expressive Ink and always get compliments. The staff is always nice an courteous. I definitely suggest stopping by.

Michael was attentive to the details and listened to what my son and I wanted. Highly recommend - he was great!

Absolutely wonderful and when it comes to desinfecting and sanitizing, I have never seen anything like it. Everything is disposed after use. They go as far as wrapping the seats and table after every use for each client and change gloves as needed.The quality of the ink is way better. They use organic ink and it helps ppl like me with sensitive skin and prone to bad infections.I am so beyond happy of finding this location. As for our artist, Ms. Tammy, she calls het ser an apprentice; we call her one of the most kind, genuine and humble people we have met.Thank you for taking pride in what you guys do!

I got my nose pierced here, followed all instructions properly. Two days later my nose ring was sinking into my nose, so I went to see another nearby piercer who strongly recommended I take it out and get repierced, as he said the jewelry was obviously the wrong size. (i only went to another piercer as I was leaving to go out of state for several weeks and Trent was out of the shop).Now I have to get my nose re done and I am not happy about it.The shop was clean, very professional, but the basics were messed up, putting me in a bad situation.

Kelly has done (so far) 3 of my tattoos. She worked with me to make them exactly what I wanted. Believe it or not, she makes it as painless as a tattoo can be. Thanks Kelly! Ill be seeing you soon for my next masterpiece.

Last tattoo I got from here was 3 years ago. Happy to say I still smile everytime I see it. Trent is truly one of the best artist Ive ever met. I really cant wait for my next one. I know where Ill be going ^^^^^^^^^

Trent pierced my nose very professionally with barely any pain. The nose stud that he puts in is bent into a V which makes it feel secure while in and is easy enough to take out. Will be returning for a tattoo soon!

Cool place. Tattoo Artist, Luis did my ex girlfriends tattoos.

Amazing work! Got my tattoo at the Wharton location by Tommi. She was so gentle and thorough about the whole process. Would definitely recommend!

Michael is an amazing artist, 100% recommended asking for him when getting a tattoo!!

Great staff; very clean; trent did an amazing job on my two tattos... i would highly recommend going to see them ... had a great time getting my tattoo done !!THANKS!!

Kelly and alyssa are amazing artists who do quality work. Trent is an expert piercer who will talk you through what to expect with the piercing.

A great shop with friendly and knowledgable staff, as well as a very clean environment. Kelly is immensely talented and innovative. Her chill demeanor is sure to calm nervous first timers. I highly recommend this shop!

Tommi is an unbelievable artist and human! The tattoos are exactly what was in my head. Absolutely stunning and perfect. I’ll never go anywhere else.

Got my daughters nosed pierced here and they did a great job! She was super nervous and Trent was amazing at reassuring her everything would be fine!

I have had the pleasure of getting tattooed by the lovey Kelly. I have gotten two tattoos from her and def will be going back. If you guys want a great tattoo go to Kelly.

I had an excellent experience with Tommi my tattoo came out amazing and she is a lot of fun to hangout with. 10/10 would highly recommend!

Expressive Ink is the only place I go to! Kelly does INCREDIBLE work as well as the other tattoo artists who work there. Very clean and very professional! Highly recommend!!!

I have 3 pieces done by Trent (and a piercing). I love Expressive Ink! Amazing work, super clean shop planning my next visit now;)

Been here a ton of times, everyone is super friendly and theyre all amazing artists. the place is really clean and they have a really awesome fish tank 😂 i am absolutely obsessed with all the work ive gotten done here, thanks Kelly! 🖤🖤🖤

Trent did my half sleeve and Tina did my back piece. Both of them were amazing and very professional. I love both of them!!! Absolutely would go back.

JJ took what I asked for, with so many different details, and they gave me something that has brought me to the brink of tears on numerous occasions because of how perfect it is. I wish I could give 6 stars.

Love the whole crew here .. always great service and guidance. Michael has been amazing!

The owner is reputable and cares about the safety, hygiene and integrity of his Shoppe. Individualized tattoo designs by trained artists.

Tommi is the best! Highly recommend, she’s great with first timers as well. Made the process very easy!

Trent did an awesome job of making my old terrible tattoo disapear with his art work and tattoo...I wouldnt go anywhere else to have any more ink done and I would recommend any one to go see Trent.
