I went to mind altering Friday July 8th and got a tattoo with my little sister and they turned out amazing. I will definitely be back one-day.β€οΈπ₯°πͺ

I walked in at 11 AM and by 11:20 AM I had my first piercing: a navel piercing. All the staff are excellent! Amanda was my piercer and was very professional. My piercing is 100% straight and perfectly placed on my stomach. I got a 14 gauge piercing and it didnβt hurt at all!
With the beautiful jewelry and piercing it was only $45 total. To use a card it had to be a minimum of $50, so I was able to include a tip on my bill so I could use my debit card. They accept Visa and MasterCard. Maybe others but I didnβt look. There is an ATM in the building.
Great music and vibes. The waiting area is very comfortable with portfolios to look at.
The woman at the register managed three different clients all at once completely smoothly. No waiting at all.
Everyone is so friendly and made this experience awesome π€π»I highly recommend Mind Altering Tattoos. Plus their hours are the best in town.

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. It's flawless. I love it and can't wait to get another. I'm on a budget and felt like his price was very fair. The rest of the staff were friendly. I've also had my nose pierced there and the girl who does their piercings was so cool. Great personality. I'd give Mind Aaltering 10 stars if I could.

Mind Altering Tattoos were amazing!!!! After another shop did not honor an appointment for a very special mother daughter tattoo for my daughters 18th birthday we were devastated. We called Mind Altering and when they learned of our situation, despite being booked went out of their way to get us in. We were treated so well and our matching tattoos far exceeded our expectations. Sparx was so talented and the owner went above and beyond to make this a great experience. We will return again and highly reccomend this shop.

Cody, did tattoos for my 2 son's and me to honor my father in-law who just recently passed away and was a Navy Veteran. The man did outstanding work. Will have him do my next one as well.

Went here for a belly button piercing. Then wanted to go back for a tattoo. I called asking if they had openings tonight for a rib tattoo and they said yes you can come in now the artist had a 1.5 time slot open. 10 minutes later I walk in and they said they couldnβt take me anymore because other people came in and my rib tattoo would take too long. All I wanted was a 10 word quote? A call back wouldβve been nice...

Drove over an hour to get to my tattoo appointment plus I arrived 30 minutes early. I find out that they booked someone else and I at the same time with the same artist. Nobody bothered to check me in, I had to flag someone down. And the front desk lady told me I had to reschedule after I waited 40 minutes, though I already paid and waited. This is the second time. Everyone was unprofessional, careless toward the customers, and had did not care that they waste your time. If you want anything done at this place, you may as well make your whole day free. Terrible facility. Donβt waste your time.

First experience was great, got my cartilage done on a whim while I was there with a friend getting her nose done. They had my business and I was considering them for tattoo work in the future. Went in and got my nose done today. Completely different experience than my first. Receptionist was answering a facetime call while helping me. Piercer had an apprentice, which I didnβt mind. Until they bickered through my whole session and the apprentice rolled her eyes and gave her mentor attitude as she had the needle in my nose. Love my new piercing but the experience was horrible..

I just got my piercing done on Wednesday(it is now Friday), and part of my belly button ring, the gemstone, fell out. I called the place, they said I would have to come in again and pay full value for a new piercing. Itβs been two days and I have been super careful around the piercing. They shouldβve done more than just tell me to come in again and pay full price for another piercing. I paid $80 for the full piercing as well. Very rude on the phone.
