Clean Friendly Employees Talented Artist Great Conversation Fun Atmosphere

I went to this place as a spur of the moment idea. I was initially impressed with how clean everything was. The employees were very friendly and found a way to get us in right away. The artist that tattooed me was very talented and the conversation just flowed. I got to shoot pool with the owner while my girl got her tattoo done and it was great. I'll go back.

Affordable Pricing Great Service Happy Customers

My son and I got multiple ink done here. And I took my daughter to get her ears done just yesterday for her birthday. She’s extremely happy and delighted. The lady that took care of her was nothing shy of awesome and very sweet. The pricing was more than just and affordable.

Good Experience Comfortable Kind and Helpful Great Tattoo Expensive

Overall good experience! Cat did my first tattoo and made feel super comfortable during the entire process. She was also incredibly kind and helpful. Tattoo turned out great too! Only complaint is the price being a bit steep.

Friendly Staff Experienced Artist Professional Patient Highly Recommend

I stopped in while on vacation for a tat I’ve been wanting to get. The staff was friendly and helpful. My artist, Brent, was experienced, professional and an all-around cool guy. His creativity and patience helped me fine-tune my design and I’m thrilled with the results. I highly recommend this shop.

Poor Customer Service Unprofessional Staff

I have many tattoos and I can honestly say this is my first less than great experience with a tattoo parlor.

I made the appointment several weeks back with a very nice woman with blue hair. She watched as my friend and I struggled to set a date & time as we are both from 2hrs away. We could not miss this appointment or have it rescheduled.

My appointment was set to be first at 4pm.

The day of the appointment my friend gets a phone call an hour before my appointment, that our appointments would have to be rescheduled due to the fact our artist was out sick. No worries it happens. But if the artist is sick, shouldnt we have recieved a phone call before the shift started?

As we were already on our way I, personally, called back to ask if we could at least get our deposits back because we were from out of town and didnt know if we would be able to reschedule and to ask why I didnt receive a phone call first as my appointment was before my friends?

The receptionist was beyond rude.

She said she confirmed with my friend that I was sitting right next to her and that there was no need to call me to cancel/reschedule my appointment.

Again why wasn't I called first, as my appointment was first!? What if we had driven seperate?

She then said she would call the Owner and talk with him about getting our deposits back. I called her back after a half hour to ask if the owner had gotten back to her. She replied no and would call me back if he did.

Three hours after that last phone call she calls me to say that Len had a cancellation and would be able to get us in, would we be able to take it? Great, we were luckily only 15 mintues away and were able to take it.

Len, personally, is an amazing guy & artist. Laid back, steady hand, and just all around a good guy. I am very pleased with my tattoo from him.

Waiting for my friends tattoo to finish I was never once really acknowledged or talked to by the other staff- the piercer, the receptionist, and some random chick that kept following the piercer around (very odd, but maybe an apprentice?).

Glad I ended up get my tattoo from Len but pretty shitty experience with the other staffing.

Overall will not reccomend them or be back.

Poor Quality Inconsistent Work

If your looking for a quality piece of work that is detailed and professionally done, I advise you to look else where. The tattoo I ended up with is sloppy and inconsistent, I have already looked into having it removed, go somewhere else

Bad Tattoo Experience Poor Customer Service Unprofessional Behavior

I've been to Mind Altering a lot the last 20 years but my last 2 experiences were the last for me. My last tattoo was with Sparx. Horrible experience. He was on a call on his cell the entire consult. I told him I did not want a solid black house and I wanted highlights in the house. He said he would. I got a solid black mass of a house. Its horrible.I got the worst tattoo on my body. I would never recommend Sparx to anyone. He has no respect for what you want.
I also made an appointment for a piercing and was called to cancel right as I pulled up to the building. They had to wait to cancel until right when the appointment time was.

Kat is amazing! Her work is amazing and exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend!
