I loved my experience here. It was busy, but I didn't have to wait long. Staff was super friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place to anyone!
Also, I love how the owner designs the jewelry and is made in the USA. Love supporting local artists.

Employees super friendly and professional. Took 2 hours to purchase a bridge bar and have it put in. Not pierced, just the jewelry put in a already healed hole. 95 bucks. Not a chance it was worth it.

The staff at the front are very friendly and helpful. You can tell they really enjoy working there and helping people out. The best part was listening to the piercers talk to younger children about the process and how the kids were the boss at this point and they hired them to do a job. That’s respect to me, they don’t care about making a dollar, they wanted the kids to know nobody was forcing them to do anything and wanted to make sure they are comfortable. The guy who did mine was really nice and answered all my questions. Thanks yall

I always get my piercings done here! I've gotten my thirds, Helix, and Tragus done here! They are definitely a little more expensive than other places but I find that their jewelry is worth it. I find myself always spending about $90 with tip for a piercing as their piercing fee is $35 plus jewelry and I tend to get something on the cheaper end. I find that the people there are super knowledgable and kind!

My 4 year old daughter had a beautiful time getting her ears pierced from the moment the appointment was made. Receptionist was friendly and warm when I called and genuinely excited to see us when we arrived for our appointment the next evening. I loved that they truly put my daughter in charge, from filling out her own paperwork (to the best of her ability) to checking and approving the placement of the pen marking prior to piercing. The piercers (owner Zack and I believe Travis) didn’t put hands on her without explaining exactly what they were doing first. She left feeling empowered and excited. Admittedly, I was nervous to watch my oldest take this grown-up step, but I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for her.

Amazing experience. The women checking everyone in was a whole vibe. She was informative, relaxed and fun. The whole place was clean and comfortable. Earing placement was flawless. I will be back for sure.

This is a long one, so hang on to your chairs.
You could not pay me to get a piercing here. I don't even think that you could pay me to go into the building at this point.

Honestly, they have a beautiful selection of jewelry, which is the original reason why I went in the first place. The jewelry is a little overpriced in my opinion, but I understand that often the jewelry is only a small markup from the prices that they buy it for. I don't know that this is for sure the case here, but that is the case at most piercing shops.

The issue here is not the quality of the jewelry, the cleanliness of the store, or even necessarily the quality of the piercings offered. The problem is that the owner and the other male working here are absolutely unbearable and despicable people.

Let me start by telling you my experience. I have been told multiple times, but multiple different people, not to go to Kitten Flower. At this point, I have been to multiple stores in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids to look for specific jewelry that I wanted. I figured that, as a last resort, I would go to Kitten Flower. I walked in and the manager was lounging in a chair, glaring at me. The man behind the case asked me what I was looking for and I expressed exactly what I was interested in and asked that he direct me to the correct case. While I was looking at jewelry, this man proceeded to speak to me as if I had no experience with body jewelry, you could call it "mansplaining." I understand that some people may need to have their piercings explained to them, but I have had over 25 body piercings in my life, most of which were visible to him. He spoke down to me the entire time, telling me that he needed to put my jewelry in for me because I couldn't do it myself. The whole interaction felt very rude, and I was nothing but polite. After about 15 minutes, I made an excuse to not buy anything, and I left. It has been about three months since this has happened.

After this interaction, I mentioned to multiple people that this had happened, and they expressed that I never should have gone in the first place. The owner has allegedly taken advantage of multiple young girls, been quite rude to men who have come to him for piercings, and took a company that was female owned and ran it into the ground.

You could not pay me to communicate with one of these men again.

I highly recommend Art & Soul or Stay Awhile for your piercing needs.

Got my rook done and had such a better experience than I have anywhere else. The quality of the jewelry is amazing and the staff is very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable.
