Stay Awhile Tattoo

"I can't speak for the tattoos, but if you're looking for a place to take your small kids to get their ears pierced, this is the place! Katie and Elizabeth did an amazing job with our 7 year old. They were super friendly, caring, and didn't push our child in any certain direction. They do a great job from start to finish. Showing off the jewelry that you can get pierced with, explaining everything before it happens, and then keeping her calm through the process. Masters of distraction :D Our daughter is the type who is dreading the next booster shots later in life, but for the piercing, she was surprised to find out it was already over. I would recommend you go for the tandem and we will be planning to take future kids there. I would recommend this place to any of my family and friends!"

"I have too much to say about this place. You walk in and it’s such a cool atmosphere with welcoming and professional employees who make you feel at home. Cody has done 3 of my tattoos and all of them are stellar work, he’s worth the wait! Edit to add I also have many piercings from here! The ladies are so kind and knowledgeable and make sure you get exactly what you want! Yes the jewelry is pricey but you’re worth it ;)"

"We had an amazing experience here today with my 7 year old daughter! After researching online we had narrowed it down to 2 places for her to get her ears pierced. We ended up picking this one off of the information on their website- cleaning/sanitizing protocols, quality of the earrings, and the reviews on the two ladies who do the piercings. These ladies were something special! They made all of us feel welcome from the second we walked in the door. Clearly they have been doing this for a while. My daughter didn’t even flinch (she is tough, but believe their skill had a lot to do with it). Her piercings look great & if we need anything at all they said just to stop back in. Highly recommend!"

"After having my piercing re-done 3 times because I couldn't make the threaded jewelry stay put, Elizabeth made it happen. Both of the piercing ladies are wonderful to work with. Very compassionate, intuitive, and have an amazing bouncy, bubbly and smiley type of personality. Love love love this place. Recommend for anyone, any age... Piercing"

"Absolutely amazing tattoo shop! Got my hands done with Dylan and couldn’t be happier. I got a rose for my daughter with her birthdate and the island of Oahu for my son who was born there. 11/10 for both customer service, cleanliness and quality of the tattoo. If you’re in the Kalamazoo/Portage area please get in and see Dylan."
