My daughter and I got matching mother daughter tats. We were qoated $125.00 each. 3-4 inches on the inside of our wrists. We waited 4 hrs, it was a Saturday and walk ins only. We were there at 11am when doors had opened. When we said we wanted a small owl on each tat, they said it was another $75.00 each. NO WAY! So, I took off the cheap paper towel and masking tape they covered it with, and WOW, I see my tat where " MOTHER" is, its an "INK BLOW OUT". LOOKED IT UP ON LINE AND IT SAYS IT IS FROM THE ARTIST PUSHES THE NEEDLE TOO DEEP OR AT THE WRONG ANGLE. (INEXPERIENCE). SO NOW, i AM GOING BACK TODAY WHEN THEY OPEN TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR ME. IF THEY CANT FIX IT FREE OR REFUND ME SOME $$ BACK TO MAKE IT RIGHT, THEN I MAY CAUSE AN ISSUE WITH THIS PLACE AND I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND ANY OF MY FRIENDS THERE. I just hope they make this right.

5 of my friends and I decided to take a little trip from Winona, MN to La Crosse, just to get tattoos. I had read some of the reviews and was on the edge about this place. I can honestly say that it was an amazing experience. Everyone was nice, funny, and genuinely seemed to love what they do. At no point did I feel uncomfortable. I got my first tattoo done by Fox and it was a blast. He did such an amazing job at working with my idea, but also adding suggestions. Another friend of mine also got her tattoo done by Fox and had a great experience as well. Two others got theirs done by Zane, and we all enjoyed his quick wit and professionalism. I highly recommend this place.

I got a tattoo done there a while back and the guy doing it kept leaving to go and smoke. It made the work hurt way more than necessary because it had time to get tender. He stopped to visit anyone who walked into the shop and left me sitting there waiting for him for as long as he felt like. The work came out flat and poorly done. This ink is permanent and is going to cost a lot to get it fixed. It was a birthday gift to myself and I am really disappointed. It is on my foot so everyone sees it in the summer time and I have yet to get even one compliment on it. I think the artist has potential he just needs to focus on his work and not everything else.

Called 3 times for appointment for my wife for nipple piercings all 3 times verified a woman would be there on 6/30 since she was driving 3 hours to come see me. Woman who answered all the times said female piercer be there at 11:00 we showed up told its a man piercing today she wasnt doing piercings. Than on top of that wanted to charge more than the original price of $20 a piercing.. Even said we called for a female piercer told them what they said and didnt care... What a joke. On top of this now they lost a tattoo I wanted to get done. So for 2 weeks im gonna let everyone I see and I work retail never to go to this place its a joke.......

I got a tattoo done here by Justin. His work is amazing but he is a creep. He has a wife and child but that didnt stop how sexually suggestive he was. He made the experience very uncomfortable. I got a really amazing deal on my work but I honestly dont want to go back for a touch up because of how much he bothered me. Also the people up front were rude and didnt seem organized. The work is good but its a matter of what you are willing to put up with. I wouldnt go back to that artist for sure, especially after I talked to other people who had work done by him and they has the same uncomfortable encounters.

My tattoo artist (Jym) was not friendly toward me. Did not take any time to establish a good relationship and furthermore did not introduce himself to me, so the only way I knew his name was from the business card he gave me at the end. The tattoo I got was a phrase, and the last word is more heavily bolded than the rest. He did not go over the care of my new tattoo with me before or after giving me the care sheet. When I left the salon, no one said bye to me or my friend and I heavily regret giving him a tip. Will not return to Mind Altering but I hope those that go have a better experience than I did.

Len did my tattoo and he was great! He was very patient with me as I tried to explain what I wanted, chose a font, etc. He made sure it was just right. He took his time, not rushing through and doing a sloppy job. Its flawless. I love it and cant wait to get another. Im on a budget and felt like his price was very fair. The rest of the staff were friendly. Ive also had my nose pierced there and the girl who does their piercings was so cool. Great personality. Id give Mind Aaltering 10 stars if I could.

I was over charged and they kept needing to reschedule cause their artist was tripping out.... when I got the actual tattoo by the owner or boss man in charge, he never shaved the area and never wrapped it up afterwards and I was charged 2x as should for size and such and the tattoo I got looks faded and older then the one I got a couple years earlier. and to top it off they fuqed up the design, luckily its salvageable... over all dont go here....

I get my tattoos done by Len. Even though theres not much conversation its because I listen to my music to keep me distracted from the pain. Ive gotten all 4 tattoos done by him and his work is amazing. I got recommended by my sister and she was right. The prices for them were reasonable and the people there are so friendly and professional.

I got a tattoo with Zane. It was my first one, and he was so nice about it. He did a little line on the outline to let me see how it felt and he would also let me take breaks when i felt like it. He also talked to me during the process, to help me calm down. He is very very good and i highly recommend him :)

Has been at 13 years but had a bad experience. Artist was lame. I wanted different colors but she did what she wanted. Now I have to live with this ugly blue blob on my leg. Very very very disappointed. I want it fixed so bad but will not Ever Ever go back.

Had my first piercing done here because of the ads I constantly heard on the radio. The people were friendly, but the piercer acted like he didnt know what he was doing. The piercing came out very crooked, and ended up getting infected.

For piercings; I go to Kait to do all of my piercings done, she is wonderful. She knows what shes doing and makes you feel really comfortable. If youre looking for a piercer in La Crosse, I encourage you see Kait at Mind Altering.
