I had to leave a review due to seeing other reviews out Carrie cancelling due to to health. I've been going to her for years. Multiple piercings handled with the utmost care and kindness. She is the best piercer I have ever come across. It looks like her space is being removed. I hope she is ok. She is not someone to just cancel or ignore bookings. Service providers are people too. You don't know what's going on the other side. read more

Carrie is such an amazing piercer! I went back in March (I believe) of 2024 to get my septum repierced after a medical emergency and she was very polite. It was my third time visiting her shop and every time has been a great experience. I will be returning to get more piercings for sure! Also the atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. I don't feel nervous at all in there. read more

a little disappointed because my friends had good experiences, but i had booked an appointment for my mom, which unfortunately due to illness, carrie had cancelled; this was okay! because of course things happen.. however, carrie did not offer a reschedule at all when she texted my mom about the situation, and never followed up. ive been looking at the website in case something opened up, but nothing ever did/still has not. this is just a small critique, to follow up on your clients that you cancel on, even if for good reason. read more

I have never left a bad review before but I cannot honestly rate my experience here above 1 star. I came here last year to get my septum pierced. I was pierced not where the septum should be pierced but much lower so it looked ugly and it started to rise backwards, another sign that it was pierced in the wrong place. The jewelry I was given was very unflattering but I was reassured that it looked good by the piercer. My biggest ick of all is that there was so much pressure to tip. the door had a sign that said smth like "good tipping is good karma" and other reminders when checking out and even a verbal reminder from the piercer herself like who does that . I felt I had no decision but to tip. I was expecting to pay 60 dollars that day but instead paid over 90 for a terrible piercing. I took it out a month later after realizing the "swelling" that would make my septum ring rise backwards never went away. I got it repierced a few months later at Rebel Rebel Body Piercing and I never had those issues AND it actually looked good. Another thing I noticed is that my piercing at Koolsville hurt so much more than the same one at Rebel Rebel. Plus, it was significantly cheaper! I get mad every time I think about how this place robbed me of 90 dollars for a shitty piercing. read more

Carrie is AMAZING!! I had my nose pierced by her in 2017 and I've never had to have anyone else touch it since then. I had one side pierced already and she was able to symmetrically pierce the other nostril. She measures every angle of your nose and is so precise. She also pierced my septum and put numbing cream on before hand because I was so nervous about the pain. The shop has great vibes and is very clean & organized. Besides her amazing skills, Carrie is a delightful person. She's funny, welcoming, professional, and full of good vibes! If you find yourself here, just know you found the needle in the haystack and consider yourself lucky! I will not let anyone else pierce me. I 1000000% recommend coming here. read more

I've been calling for two weeks trying to cancel my appointment and no one answers. I also emailed, no answer.

Carrie is amazing, patient and knowledgeable. I'd recommend her for ANY and ALL piercing and jewelry needs.

Carrie is amazing. I was really nervous and scared, but she made me feel comfortable. She did it so fast, and I didn't feel any pain. I will be coming back very soon. She is also very informative. Thank you, Carrie. I loved my experience, and I love my new piercing. read more

Carrie was great took her time to measure out the piercings. Gave several suggestions based on the types of earrings I usually wear but also offered a variety of designs if I didn't want the traditional second lobe piercing. Never felt rushed & it was a clean place with new sterilized equipment. 16 yrs in the biz, if I ever get an itch for a 5 piercing I probably reach out to her again. read more

I met Carrie at a tattoo convention. I was trying to complete a big project, 7 years in the making. I was attracted to big, coral bracelet. Long story short, Carrie told me to focus on the project and wear the bracelet. Basically, she said "when it breaks your project is completed even if it doesn't seem that way in the moment". It broke within a week. My project just got completed (6 months laterI am taking the stones back and she's going to restring them as part of the magic! read more

I went here while visiting Vegas and got 8 of their famous $10 tattoos. The staff was super friendly and professional. Even with it being pretty busy the experience was quick. The shop was clean which is something I look for particularly in a tattoo shop. We are going back to Vegas in a few weeks and I will definitely be returning. I love the tattoos I got from them on my previous trip and look forward to adding more to the collection. I would highly recommend this shop! read more

I was so nervous for my piercing, but Carrie made the entire process very smooth and comfortable. She was very patient with my nerves, and explained every detail perfectly. I am extremely happy with my piercings, and look forward to returning for more. read more

Carrie, is very professional and answered all the questions that I had. We went in for a naval piercing for my daughter. She takes her time and makes sure that the measurements are centered prior to piercing. She was very throttled with after care instructions. Thank You Carrie read more

I went to koolsville and it was an amazing experience Carrie Rudy was so nice she explained everything to me

I went here in April 2021, but forgot to post a review. If you've been thinking about getting a new piercing, look no further!! I went in for a conch piercing, which I was kinda nervous about because I heard it was painful. Carrie is the absolute sweetest, and she knows what she's doing. She made the whole experience as comfortable and painless as possible. She put numbing cream, and I don't know if it helped much, but the pain was literally a 1/10. Barely felt a prick. She also takes the time to explain aftercare which is really great. I highly recommend this place. Prices are very fair and place is very clean!! Will be coming back to get more piercings in the future :)) read more

My friend got her earlobe pierced and I got my helix piercing and Carrie was absolutely amazing. She talked through my friend and I about cleaning and care and made sure we were as comfortable as possible. I sometimes get lightheaded and she had sugar cubes for me to have after when I did. Carrie also has the cleaning products she uses for sale at the shop so you know you're getting the best. Incredibly friendly and just the absolute best. I will without a second thought only go to her for piercings. I don't think anybody could do it better. read more

If I could give this place a 3.5 I would. The service was good and my piercings did come out well. My real problem is that some of the studs they are selling to get with your piercing are just really bad options. I got a long hanging bar set for my two new lobe piercings and they've been impossible to sleep with without almost ripping them out. They tell you not to turn your earrings or mess with them at all but these turn on their own. My piercings are barely healed because I keep bumping the stupid studs and I've just now been able to deal with the pain of changing them after 3 weeks. I just really wish they wouldn't sell that kind of jewelry for a new piercing. Doesn't make much sense. The work they did was good, but just don't choose the wrong piercing. read more

Carrie was so great with our 10-yo daughter's first ear piercing! Carrie answered all of our questions, made a very comforting environment, and took great care to make sure that the experience was as minimally painful as possible! In my wildest dreams, I couldn't have hoped it would go as smoothly as it did! We will definitely be back with our other two daughters and whatever other piercing needs we may have, and we will vigorously recommend her to everyone we know!!! read more

Carrie is absolutely wonderful. Very knowledgeable with everything she is doing, walks you through step by step, and makes you feel comfortable even when you're doing something so obviously uncomfortable. I got two piercings done with her and it was smooth sailing. A couple of months later after sleeping on them and some discomfort, I noticed two bumps forming (she diagnosed them as keloids). I came right back to ask for advice on how to heal them, she stopped what she was doing and saw me right away. No more than one week after her advice, I saw noticeable improvements. If I ever have anything else done, I'm coming straight here. TIP: Texting her is the best way to reach her. She doesn't answer the shop phone when she's in the zone helping others. read more

Wonderful service and they took me in right away and they were very careful in gentle

We took our little sister to get her nose pierced for her 15th birthday and it was such a great experience. Kerry was so nurturing and patient. She was so awesome, I'd recommend her over and over again!!! read more

I love Carrie! I'm still a dedicated client. She's so informative and thorough, she really knows everything there is about piercings and aftercare. She's willing to help no matter what the issue. I removed a belly ring for a couple weeks after having it in four years and couldn't get it back in. I called her to see if she could re-pierce it. She told me belly piercings don't close they develop a buildup if the ring is out too long and she'd be happy to place a new ring for me if I wasn't sure how to clear it up. She did this for free! She spent about half an hour making sure I was comfy and took her time. I came to her for my third lobe piercing and two cartilage piercings as well. I couldn't be more satisfied I waited months for her to reopen even though I had other options. If you're looking for someone who is genuinely kind and caring she's your girl! You won't be disappointed. read more

I have been here for multiple piercing and today, I got to take my mother in law with me and we both go piercings done! I LOVE CARRIE!! She is the kindest, chillest person and she makes getting a piercing so relaxing and easy. I got 4 forward helix piercings and my mother in law got a second lobe piercing. We plan to come back again soon! You WILL NOT find a better piercer. Carrie is uhhmaaazingg!! Thank you Carrie! read more

Carrie made my nipple piercings the easiest thing ever! I went in with my friend and we were both anxious to get them done. She reassured us and gave us a thorough rundown about aftercare and measuring. I initially thought the piercings would be the most painful thing ever, but instead, it was the least painful piercing I've gotten so far. The appointment system was a turn-off, but after I really appreciate it. Carrie really takes her time getting to know her clients instead of getting a quick piercing and sending us off. I have now found a piercer I completely trust and will be coming to in the future!l read more

I was very nervous to get my second earlobe piercing bc I got my first ones when I was still a baby so I thought it would hurt a lot but Carrie really took care of me. She made me feel safe and comfortable and it happened super fast! She really know what she was doing and she's SOOO GOOD AT IT!! It was a very fun and comfortable piercing experience with Carrie!! I will definitely come back again here if I get another piercing!! Thank you so much, Carrie! read more

Just got another piercing from Carrie and have recommended her to my friends and family as well. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional piercer who is highly knowledgeable and genuinely cares for the client throughout the whole process start to finish and even the after-care. With the new covid regulations, she handled everything very well. The room and location itself is spacious and limited to yourself and her, and the process is very quick and easy too. She is very friendly and will listen and take time to answer any questions or concerns you have, even give you tips on after-care so you have minimal irritation as possible. Lots of variety on jewelry and pricing is super affordable also. Thank you~ read more

Carrie is so nice!! Got a new nose ring and belly ring!! I'll come again for sure!! Tatoo shop too! Thank you!!! read more

I came in here without an appointment; Carrie was super helpful and awesome! She answered all my questions and was super informative. I've been to other shops before and no one has been as helpful as Carrie. read more

I loved loved LOVED my experience here at Koolsville. I'm going through some life changes and self expression is playing a large role in this. I knew what I wanted and based off the fantastic reviews I was seeing here on Yelp, I chose Koolsville. Best decision ever. I came in and shared with Carrie exactly what I wanted. Needless to say, she made my dreams come true. I had not had any piercings since I was weeks old, so I have no memory of my first piercing. Carrie walked me through what my best choices would be for my lower lobe and upper cartilage piercings. She then walked me throig steps I would need to take for after care and when we started the piercing, the steps as they happened. She was patient with me and my questions and my kids with their sometimes non related questions. I hope that when my daughter, or son, is ready for their first piercing that I can bring them back to Carrie and her shop. Thank you for my amazing piercings, Carrie. You're amazing!!! read more

So I had been wanting to get my belly button pierced for the longest time, but I was super anxious about getting it done. I had spent weeks searching on yelp for the perfect place and I ended up finding this Kool little gem. Let me just say, this whole experience went by perfectly!! Carrie was super sweet and friendly as she walked me through the whole process. She is a professional who definitely knows what she's doing and I only felt a pinch! She pierced me so quickly that there was barely any pain, and not to mention she took the time to make sure the piercing was straight and positioned where I wanted it to be. Additionally, I had brought my friend with me for moral support and Carrie was super nice to her too and accommodating (unlike some places that don't like when you bring a guest with you). Even though this location is about 30 mins away from me, it's definitely worth the drive. Will definitely be coming back here in the future!! read more

I wanted to wait before writing a review just to see what the outcome of my piercings were. So far it's been great no pain really, I got my upper lobes and my cartilage pierced. Carrie was truly amazing and so patient with me, she made me feel so comfortable and answered all my questions. She broke everything down for me and I honestly loved my experience! She was able to help me decide what would look best on myself as well as my brother who came to get a piercing as well. I cried happy tears at the end of the piercing I am absolutely in love with my piercings! For my three piercings it was 80 dollars she took off ten I don't know what the average price is but I felt that was beyond fair. Also I tipped her because she totally rocks, it was a bit of a long process but that's because she takes the time to measure out your placement and make sure you're happy with it. So be patient with her and if your waiting just know she's not going to rush you when she's with you. Also she doesn't answer the phone or even look at when she's piercing you which is great and she's got a gentle touch which is nice! If I ever decide to get more I would definitely go to her!! Also I just want to say the last time I got pierced I was a baby... read more

carrie is super knowledgeable when it comes to piercing and made me feel at ease during the entire process. came in for a septum yesterday and couldn't be more happy with the outcome! DEFINITELY recommend this place if you are contemplating getting a piercing!! read more

Carrie was amazing!!!!!!! I was scare as hell but talking to her and her talking me thru everything made me come from a 10 to a 4. And when she actually did the piercing the pain level was a 2.5. read more

Carrie is amazing, her personality puts you right at ease and she instantly makes you feel comfortable! I would hands down go here again and refer anyone to her! Thank you for making our mom & daughter piercing experience fun and easy!! read more

Carrie is awesome! I came in for a conch piercing after booking an appointment with the link on her Instagram. From the moment I walked in and throughout the whole process, my experience with Carrie was nothing but positive. She was so kind and patient with helping me choose the best type of jewelry for my personal needs, answering my many many questions, and taking ample time to make sure the placement was absolutely perfect and exactly what I wanted before proceeding. The shop is also very clean and well-maintained. Carrie goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are comfortable and happy, and I never want to see anyone but her for a piercing again! read more

I have a very low pain tolerance and I am glad I went to Koolsville. I found this place on yelp and I was not disappointed. When I was younger I had ear piercings but it closed up and I never got it again. Today I went in and got them re pierced! She used a numbing cream and tried her best to distract me. The first earring, I couldn't even feel anything and the second one, there was a small pinch. Carie is very knowledgeable about piercings and she truly cares for her customers. I will be back in the future if I ever want any more piercings. Also I payed $50 for both earlobes and earrings. read more

I got my spider bite lip piercing back in March and just took my kiddo to get their ears pierced. This place is awesome, Carrie was so great. I will definitely be back! read more

I haven't had my ears pierced since I was a child so I was nervous to get a helix piercing. But Carrie was quick and let me know what she is doing step by step which helped for my nerves. The place was very clean and sanitary which is good. She explained to me why piercing with a needle is better than a gun. Which helps me understand what's best. She explained how to clean and to keep my ears from being infected and to contact her if I have any questions or concerns. Definitely a good place to go for piercings and a tattoo shop is attached and the artist is her husband. read more
