James came in during a snow blizzard for 2 of my friends and myself amazing work
James did my very first tatoo. Carolyn did my mom's tragus piercing. Everyone was courteous, eager to please, and very professional. The work was great; we are both happy with our outcomes. We would both readily come back here.
Love love love china doll. They did my double belly piercing and back dermals . I've had my double belly for a year and some months , and my dermals for 9 months . They are both health and I never had any issues with either .
Professional staff beautiful workmanship
Amaze Balls! Let's just say that these guys know how to make you feel comfortable and make you laugh while being there. They are all really down to earth and the piercer Carolyn was amazing. I got my nipples pierced and I can say that on a pain scale from 1-10 it was like a 4. She made me feel comfortable and we had good convo.
The people are so funny and lively lol .
Carolyn is the best and I would never go to anyone else
Got a belly piercing... Great people skills. Friendly.. Catering.. Clean
Honestly best place to go to for piercings. Just got one today did it so fast and almost painless. Highly recommend they're the best.
I've made this place my official piercer parlor and Carol is an amazingly caring person! She has attended my first facial piercing; my septum 2 years ago, then my medusa piercing a year later and currently I am 7 months in healing with my Tragus. In all occasions she has provided a clean service and at the same time a pleasing moment. When my medusa was having a hard time healing, she heard my concerns and advised me accordingly. I will continue to come here :)
Awsome place
Love Carolyn! Best piercer ever! So funny and calms you before hand!
Love Jim and his staff they are awesome people and fun too be around.
Loved the lady who did our piercing but the wait was really long
They are an awesome crew. Immediately make you feel comfortable
2/1/19 was my first time there and I can honestly say I may never go anywhere else for a piercing. Quick and painless. Carolyn made you feel comfortable and she keeps her space very clean. She does an amazing job!!
Carolyn is the best! Everything is clean and she is fast! Funny as hell and made me and my daughter comfortable. My daughter got her septum and I got snake bites. We love them!!!! Friday and Saturday are $20 for any piercing above the belly button and get there before 8pm cuz they stop taking customers. There's a wait, but Carolyn is so fast so it's worth the short wait. We live in Camanche, Iowa and we will definitely be driving back to get more!
I get all my piercings done here! The piercer is amazing she will make you feel at ease and is super good at her job! Great to go on Fridays and Saturdays for the deal.
Terrible quality tattoos, I’m going to get a cover up soon, and the people at the front desk are super mean for no reason. My sis got a piercing a while back and she said her piercer was just plain out rude. Don’t go here please
The best place in town for Tattoos great Customer service
THIS PLASE WAS VERY GOOD THEY DID MY DAME TU COSITA AND DESPACITO TATOO VERY GOOD HEHE!!!!
Great Job! Very professional. My daughter got an industrial piercing. She loves it! I'm happy for her lil crazy self❤
I like this place clean friendly and nice customer service
Carolyn is THEE best. I went in for piercings and she was quick, effective, and painless. Sounds crazy to say painless piercings, but it was just that. She was personable, funny, and knowledgeable. I would totally recommend going there. And, they have piercing specials on Friday and Saturdays. Woot. Woot.
Bad experience ! Staff did dermal face piercing love the piercing but she was so busy talking about other staff with others she slipped and bruised under my eye a little now it looks as if I was hit in the eye
I came here in December with my twin sister for a nose piercing and Carolyn was so quick and fast and hilarious. We haven’t had any problems with our piercings♥️
Cool place. They get you in an out.
I got a tongue peircing here and a tattoo and let me say im in love with the place good people good fun
Good environment, nice workers, and does piercings very good. Every needle is clean and sanitized.
These guys are awesome. I just got my lip pierced there (spider bites, left side) and they took excellent care of me. The process itself was quick and relatively painless, but afterwards I started feeling feint and light-headed. Probably about 75% blackout. I knew there was a good chance of this happening, but I didn't know they would be so accommodating. They gave me some chocolate and ice water, put cold rags on my neck and forehead and let me just lay there until I felt like I could get up and move around. They didn't seem exasperated at all with my reaction and that was insanely comforting. To the people of China Doll, thank you so much! You're definitely my only stop for future piercings and tattoos!
I will never go to another place for a piercing! They did my belly button and my nipple rings and the lady who did them was so kind, fast and made it as painless as possible. She was also really up beat & funny. Great customer service. Wide range of jewelry to buy, great prices and beat of all, the shop & all their tools were clean. I'll never suggest another place to anyone but China Doll.
Carolyn is sooo funny. She also did my piercing super fast and easy. No problems. Will be back.!
My wife and I personally get tatted and pierced at this location on a regular basis. Everyone is amazing!
Amazing work
Carolyn was great
I’ve been going to Carolyn for years! I’ve gotten over 10 piercings done by her, I wish I would’ve came to her for my first 6 piercings. She is by far the most chill and fast piercer I have ever been to. She has a large clientele due to her work. Never had any problems with my piercings. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
This is the only tattoo shop I go to. I've been going there since the day I turned 18, and that ink looks just as good as the piece I got done 2 months ago. The quality of the artwork is excellent, totally professional from start to finish, and second to none in NWI. Jim is the man!
I went there for my belly button piercing ... Was in an out in 5 min Very clean and quick Would go back for more!
The service is great every time. They try to get you in and out as quick as they can and their hospitality is like no other. ❤
Great service from the moment you walk in the door Carolyn is the best at her job never felt so comfortable and she was quick.
Went in on Friday evening (today is Sunday) to get my lip pierced. They had a 13 year old girl working the counter. She even told me her age. The kid went and got a guinea pig and all of the employees in the shop were handling it. My piercer was holding it before my piercing and I had to remind her to wash her hands! The piercer never even cleaned my lip during the entire "procedure". She coughed into her hand before putting her gloves on and I had to request she rewash her hands and change the gloves! There wasn't a sink in the piercing room so, I assume she went to the restroom to wash her hands. All of my equipment was sitting on a tray before I even came in the room. I don't know if a fresh needle was used. There were a ton of piercing studs sitting all over the counter that weren't in containers/packaging. I'm guessing mine came from the pile. I'm disgusted with myself for even letting this place touch me. I should have ran! What was I thinking? I never even got a print out or verbal explanation of cleaning instructions. My lip swelled up so bad Friday. I tried calling the shop with no answer. Yesterday (Saturday) I tried calling the shop all day again with no answer. Now it's Sunday, my lip is DISGUSTINGLY swollen, my piercing bar is so short it's pulling into my skin and I can't get the damn thing unscrewed. The shop is closed until Tuesday and I'm stuck trying to figure this out on my own. RUN! Don't walk! Go somewhere else. Hell, I could have probably pierced it better my damn self! UPDATE (SUNDAY) Not even 48 hours post piercing I'm in the ER having to have the piercing removed and heavy dose antibiotics. If the infection and swelling don't go down within 24-48 hours I'll need to have the lip surgically opened cleaned. I have been keeping the piercing clean with Dial and water externally and alcohol free mouthwash internally. These instructions came from a piercer at a different studio. I reached out to him Friday when I couldn't get an answer from China Doll. I have not been touching or messing with the piercing either.
Great place and really good should visit this place
Jim was awesome. He did a great job on my husband's tattoo. He's very happy with what he received.
Amazing piercer, have been going to her for all my piercings for 5 years
If I could, I would give this shop no stars. The counter staff was very rude and unwelcoming. Not friendly at all. All the staff I encountered was either rude or ignored me. They rushed everyone and were completely unprofessional and inappropriate with their patrons. It was a complete and utter waste of time. My piercer (Carolyn) was very rude and nonchalant about my piercing and what I wanted. In the end she gave me a crappy and very noticeably crooked snake bite tongue piercing. Not only was she rude to me but to my friends as well. The experience, overall, was just so off-putting and frustrating. I will never go back again and will never recommend this place to anyone.
Got my eyebrow done here and it was amazing
Very nice people and professional
They have great customer service skills. Great job guys. Thanks
Carolyn was great and helpful the first time I got a piercing but I struggled with the jewelry and went to get it changed. The second time she was a little rude and the staff there was sooo rude. The prices are decent though. I’ve now switched to Crybabies. Much nicer staff and more helpful with piercings
Great place for my first piercing
I come here all the time for my piercings. So far the same person has done my tongue, industrial and daith. I'm never disappointed
Very clean! Amazing body piercer.
I got some piercing & she was very quick. It was an in & out just the way I like it. And very nice
I've gotten piercings from Carolyn and she is amazing!!!!!! I have since brought back several ppl and they all love her. Best place to get a piercing hands down
I love this place great people and the lady who's does piercings us fast
There was no receptionist today, but once the Piercer became available it was in and out... #PunIntended
Great place the piercer really help me feel comfortable and was quick.
I love this place what will be back
I love this shop
Excellent service, clean shop, and great people!
Present experience! Will definitely be going back soon.
Staff was friendly, helpful and not to mention hilarious! Looking forward to going back soon!
Last year I had got my nose pierced by ms.carolyn...she was so sweet and patient with me because I was indecisive of getting nose or Tragus pierced. But of course I got my nose pierced and after I got it pierced it healed within 4 weeks...like literally 4 weeks lol. Pretty soon I'm going back to get my belly button pierced and get some tatts done. And oh! I forgot their prices are reasonable ;). Thanks China doll
They are the cool workers ever I met. I got a nostril piercing last week. I will like to come back for get some new cute tattoos in two-three months later.......
Amazing place. Go see Munk for your next tat. I promise you will love it
I got all my piercings here. Carolyn is the best. If I decided to get a tattoo I would go here.
It a great place but get a appointment
Great service. The staff is awesome! I will be back for sure.
Just went for a piercing. Amazing people snd so down to earth. Will definately be going back for tatoo work.
Everybody was very friendly and do their best to make you feel comfortable! Had piercings done there and they made sure to bring out new earrings and sterilized equipment. Love it here!
Got 3 piercings from Carolyn at once. The shop is very clean. She is awesome!!! She is extremely professional and makes you feel super comfortable. She explains everything before she begins. And did I mention she is hilarious! The only place I would recommend. I love this shop!
I was treated very well by the counter staff and my tattoo artist. He did beautiful work and was extremely personable. They fit me in, even though there was a lot of people there on the weekend who were getting piercings and ink done. The person in front of me wanted more work done than he initially requested, so I had to wait longer, but my artist kept me informed of how it was progressing and helped me to get in the chair as soon as possible. It was a fun night and a great experience, and I'm very happy with the work I had done.
This was my second time visiting here and i love the environment and the staff. Everyone is friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about everything. My nose piercing went very quickly and did not hurt
I went here for the first time and got a nose ring definitely going back for tatoos
Such a wide selection of earrings and body jewelry. Came in for something specific and walked out with exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
I really love them. Sure they don't have the best looking shop but they take care of you. The staff are natural douchebags but they mean nothing other than comical bonding w/their customers. The dike piercer is like my spirit animal. Trust me, she knows EVERYTHING about ANY piercing I love her & she always gives me free rings & helps me w/problems for free! Always tip her!!!!!!
Wide selection of body jewelry
I’ve been here with friends getting work done. Amazing place and amazing staff!
Very clean
Caroline, the piercer was great and fast!! Will be visiting again!! Got my Tragus pierced.
Professional, clean and friendly employees
Great! I got a nose piercing back in October, at another shop and the placement was horrible! Plus I was bleeding alot afterwards. I took it out like two days later. Today I came here, because I still had hopes of getting my nose done...so I called and found out about their 20 special on nose piercings. Wait was long, because it was a special day, but the wait was worth it! I absolutely LOVE it! Placement was perfect and no blood like last time. You can see a major difference between where it was (that hole right by it), to where it is now. It was quick (painful lol) but quick. I would recommend this place.
Highly recommend going here.
Got my septum done. Perfect spot, quick, relatively painless, and the lady was a real g
Monk was awesome, will go again for my next tatt
I've had several tatoos done by the owner Jim he's great. People give me lots of compliments. The atmosphere is always pleasant and friendly. Recently had a piercing done there and brought my service dog and had a nice experience. Don't go anywhere else. When I did I regretted it.
The staff is very professional and friendly. The work field is sterile and clean. Quite AWESOME, highly recommended!
It was good my first time there
Came for an ear piercing. There is a line on a Friday night. Recommend that you wait . Super nice staff. Very clean. Carolyn was very friendly and nice. Everyone has a great sense of humor
6 year old daughter wanted her ears pierced for first time. Couldnt have asked for a more professional experience. Highly recommended.
I love Carolyn! Got my nipples pierced 10 months ago and I love em!
Got my nipples pierced for the second time here which makes it more difficult. She was awesome and very professional. Warm and inviting atmosphere she makes you feel comfortable and at home. We talked and laughed and I might have peed a little in the piercing process lol jk. She did an amazing job and I'm extremely happy with end result. I highly recommend getting your work done here. Now the tattoo side, I had Jim a long time ago draw me up tribal wolf. It is a nice piece but there was a little miscommunication on how I wanted it shaded,but that was my fault so just make sure your very descriptive on what yout want and you'll leave happy.
Piercer really fast service pretty painless and very very affordable and the company of the people at the shop was great but the after swelling is the doozy... but pain is pleasure in the mind of the stress piercer
Very friendly staff. Clean environment which is important for piercings and tattoos.
Very fast and friendly people. Great price for piercings. Love it.
The piercing lady was so chill. She did my piercing so quick! And she had good conversation!
Prices are reasonable and Jim is an AMAZING artist. I've gotten 5 tattoos there and will be returning to start work on a sleeve
So nice and friendly and great prices
Got a tongue piercing about a month ago and the woman who did it was very knowledgeable and the room was very clean and I'm pleased with my piercing!
Got my nose pierced for cheap.
Carolyn is the best
I got my nose re-pierced by Carolyn last Thursday, and it has healed so much better than when I initially got it done at Buggaboo about 2 years ago. She was sanitary, fast, funny, and made it an overall great expierence. I will absolutely be seeing her again.
Wonderful service friendly and clean!
I really like their attitude they made mw feel real good when i got my kip pierced ! IM GOING BACK FOR SOME MORE THERE .
The piercer can come off as rude but wow shes genuine. Love the atmosphere in here and the people! Worth the visit to get a professional piercing or tattoo
I visited to have my nose pierced after letting my previous one close. The place was very busy but the service was great! The staff members were polite and sociable!
Munk did an awesome job on my daughters first tattoo. He explained everything answered all our questions, and made my daughter comfortable. Will definitely be back!!!!! Thanks again
Excellence personified. My daith piercing was painless and quick. Pleasure doing business with them again...I've had 4 of my piercings & 3 of my tattoos here.
Bird was amazing and Carolyn will definetly be my piercer from here on out. I got guages and nose re-pierced and my daughter got helix piercing and it was piece of cake. Thank you ladies for great experience!!!
Love this Tattoo Shop! Great atmosphere! Awesome customer service, and very Talented Artists.
This review is very overdue. I wanted to wait until all my piercings had been fixed, redone, and fitted with proper jewelry at another piercing studio. In total, I have received 7 ear piercings from China Doll. This review is going to discuss all of the various issues with most of my piercings, the jewelry that China doll had used, and the improper aftercare that I was told to do. I know that this review is long, but I highly encourage reading it through (also it gets worse as towards the end). My purpose is to warn anyone that is considering getting a piercing here not to go here. Rook: multiple piercers have stated that this piercing was done at a poor angle and is set back too far. Snug: I had to get it stretched because she used the wrong gauge of jewelry. Tragus: it is very noticeably crooked. Industrial: She pierced both holes at a downward angle. When I saw that she had done this, I asked her if the angles were ok and she said "the angle doesn't matter because a hole is a hole." Later, when I went to a different studio to purchase jewelry, the piercer there told me that I could not get the tradition bar through both piercings because the angles were improper. This is the last piercing I received from China doll. Jewelry: ALL 7 OF MY PIERCINGS WERE DONE WITH IMPROPER JEWELRY. The jewelry was cheap and basically eroded inside of my ear. They were also all externally threaded pieces of jewelry. Externally threaded jewelry is a good indication that the jewelry is cheap and made of material that is not meant to be in a person's body. This prevented my piercings from healing for years. They did not heal until I purchased better jewelry from another studio. I had to go to a different studio for jewelry because China Doll does not even offer any implant grade good quality jewelry. Tea Tree Oil: The piercer told me to use tea tree oil to get rid of keloids (red bumps around the piercing). I have been told by several other piercers that tea tree oil should not be used on piercings. This also hindered the healing process of my piercings. Dirty studio and piercers: When I went there in the winter, there was dirt all over the floor of the studio. The piercer did not wash her hands before piercing my ear on several occasions. All in all, I am externally disappointed with the quality of the piercings that I received from China doll. I have had to get my industrial and tragus piercings redone. I deeply regret getting pierced by the piercer. The price of the piercings should have told me that the piercer did not know what she was doing and that the jewelry was cheap, but I was naive and did not do enough research before getting pierced. I highly recommend taking your money and service somewhere else if you do not want messed up piercings and eroded cheap jewelry.
Best place for tattoo and piercing

Great service, professional and attentive. Got my brow piercing done here. And tattoo price quotes. Updated: I just came from here getting my first tattoo. Everyone there was very chill and professional. The owner talked to me about a price within my range. I was able to get my tattoo done right away. They were attentive, great to talk to during the tattoo process, and just great in general.

Great experience! Piercings were quick and didn't hurt at all! Cool experience will definitely go back!
My friend and I get all our piercings done here. I've gotten 6 ear piercings here and navel piercing and never had a problem. When my friend had an issue with with his cause the hoop was too small they switched it out for a bigger one no charge.
Caroline does an awesome job with making you feel completely comfortable with a few laughs while piercing!
Great artist
Carolyn is the Best!! Got my nose pierced, no pain. She made me feel comfortable and we laughed the entire time. Check her out yall.
Great artist and it doesnt take long to get a peircing. Great prices and people
I know people are probably looking at reviews to see if they should go there or not so let me make this perfectly clear U SHOULD GO ,THE PLACE IS GREAT it's full of free spirits it's not that expensive and they actually made me laugh and I haven't been happy in about a month and they did it . Don't get me wrong I just got an industrial piercing but I have no doubt in anything they do .
Microderm piercing and nose piercing. Well educated, clean, quality. Quite a bit if a wait.
I LIVE in this place! I've get all my piercings done by Carolyn! She's so fun and cool as ever. I recommend all my people to her. Never gotten a tattoos, but they are coming soon!
I love it there... they really treat you like family and take care of all your needs and answer all your questions!!
Jim is amazing as is the rest of the crew!
They're so awesome. They make you feel right at home. Nervous going in but it was over in like 2 minutes. I will go back for another piercing
Always a good experience..always!
Carolyn is super good! Very comfortable clean quick & funny! In & out service very cool staff! I definitely recommend her for your piercing desires
The best carolyn is the best for piercings and 20 dollars all above the waist piercings friday and saturday
Book appointment, had James. Took no time, very patient, clean, used fresh needles, nice and generous. Will go again.
Awesome service great staff second piercing I got done but it is worth it.Felt little pain but it was quick and easy. Definitely coming back
Love it! Got a piercing from Carolyn. My brother and I both got tattoos from Mikey.
Great place to get work done. Staff is friendly and very helpful. I've had several tattoos done there. Munk and Jim are great.
Carolyn is the best. She always keeps us laughing. She is so down to earth.. Me and my daughter walked out very satisfied
Was there this past Friday. Got tattoos done for my girlfriend and I. And i must say it was great customer service, Even with their special going on for piercings. The Artists were great with the flood of customers and our tattoo artist Kaitrionna was amazing. Very clean and has a light hand so no real pain and no bleeding. Work was on point very neat and clean. Recommend her if u want clean neat work. Family friendly environment inside the shop.
Carolyn did all 5 of my piercings, She's so down to earth. I also got a tattoo done from there I must say it's the best one I got out of all the tattoo shops I been to.
This place is very clean very nice people
Love place wish some tats cheaper!
They're so professional, the piercing lady makes you feel comfortable, she's clean and her tools are all clean you see them coming out the package! She is also quick, I wish I came here for my nose ring the first time... it's so quick you don't even see the needle, she had a gang of people waiting on her that's how good her clientele is and she is def. worth the wait. They also use advance technology instead of paper to fill out the legalities/medical background. Oh and I witnessed them turn a child down that turned 18 the next day, they are by the book as they should be, don't be that kid that's under 18 with a birthday at midnight, come the next day then! They're ethical people... love this place
It was difficult to find tattoo shops that tattoo the skin of the finger between the first and second knuckle but James did it wonderfully. Simple yet so so lovely and I would recommend this shop to anyone.
Got both my tattoos here. Amazing artists and very pleasent to talk with.
It was awesome! I'm 15 and just got my septum pierced there, everyone was so sweet and casual, it really calmed my nerves. Piercing was done in a jiffy too. Would 100% recommend :)
The employees were very informative and pleasure to work with
