At Tribal Expression, we've been a manufacturer of implant-grade niobium body jewelry for over 20 years. Our expertise in crafting high-quality jewelry that is safe, durable, and comfortable to wear has made us a trusted brand name in the industry.
We take pride in our use of only the highest quality materials, including niobium, which is a rare and valuable element. Unlike other metals that require harmful coatings to achieve a black finish, our blackened niobium captive bead rings are made using a heating and cooling process that creates a thin layer of niobium oxide. This not only results in a sleek and modern look, but also ensures the safety and comfort of our customers.
Our commitment to excellence in every aspect of our business, from design to production to customer service, has earned us a loyal following and a reputation as a trusted brand name in the body jewelry industry. With over 20 years of experience, you can trust Tribal Expression to provide you with the highest quality body jewelry that is both safe and stylish.

Due to daily “wear and tear” the threaded beads on body jewelry can sometimes unscrew so checking your threaded pieces to ensure they are not coming loose is essential as Tribal Expression does NOT warranty lost jewelry. This should be done at least once or twice a week with clean hands. Simply grab the disk at the back of the labret and twist the bead; lefty loosey, righty tighty!
Jewelry that is unthreaded or a “push pin” style does not have to be tightened as it will not unthread. But, they can be pulled out if snagged so be extremely cautious as again, Tribal Expression does NOT warranty lost jewelry. You can check these pieces by placing your pointer finger on the bead and your thumb on the disc of the labret post and gently pinching them together. Threadless ends that are returned to us with the pin broken off will be taken care of according to the manufacturer’s warranty.
Please keep in mind the more you handle your jewelry the more likely that beads will unthread from posts or pop out of captive bead rings so rule number one is always: HANDS OFF!!!
Our client’s satisfaction is extremely important to us, if for any reason you are unhappy with a service we have provided please feel free to contact the studio and speak with our management team. We will always work with our clients to rectify any situation.
