A friend and I just completed a consultation with Greg. His artistic talent and professionalism brought us back for another tattoo. We're getting inked on Friday and I'm so FREAKING EXCITED to get this artwork!

awful time management. I came in at opening time on 'walk in day' and was told that if I put my name down that I could come back later and walk right in and get my tattoo. After filling out paper work, paying and waiting for an hour at 11 I then came back at 4 expecting to be able to walk right in and get my tattoo as promised. I waited there again for almost 3 HOURS. When we asked what place I was in line we were given vague answers with no apology. Many people walked out or got refunded. However, the artist that came in saved the day and was amazing I 100% recommend Greg. Just be ready to spend all day with not a lot of customer service and lots of swearing from reception.

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.

Mind Altering tattoos is the worst tattoo parlor in the area. I’ve been to several other parlors in town that have better customer service. My experiences there have been awful. I got a simple tattoo done that was rushed and done poorly. When I went back to get it touched up, I was denied. There was another instance where I tried to contact them about a concern I had, and I was treated VERY rudely by the women working at the counter. There are so many better places to get tattoos in the area. I would NOT recommend Mind altering to anyone.

Overall a negative experience. I wanted to do a walk-in tattoo on a Saturday. I called ahead of time to make sure they weren't too busy and I also would have a 1 hour drive. Upon arrival, the receptionist was extremely rude to all the customers. All customers were required to wear masks due to COVID (which is no problem), but none of the staff were wearing their masks correctly (falling off their faces, only covering their mouths not noses, etc). After checking in, doing the paper work, and paying, the receptionist then tells me the wait is going to be a couple of hours and would call me when I can come back, she could've mentioned this before I did the paper work and paid but never did. So I decided to hang out around the La Crosse area which ended up to be about 5+ hours. I decided to call the receptionist to see if she had any idea when it would be my turn and she told me there are 4 people ahead of me and she had absolutely no clue when I would be getting in. I decided to cancel, I will be going somewhere else. I do not have super high expectations but being punctual and professional is expected, especially when I called ahead of time and prepaid. My sister had a similar experience also, except the receptionist booked her and another guy at the same time with the same artist. If you plan on going to Mind Altering, make sure you don't have anything else planned just in case.

I get my tattoos done by Len. Even though there's not much conversation it's because I listen to my music to keep me distracted from the pain. I've 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.

Very clean shop, talented artists, reasonable pricing, excellent attitudes, all around great experience and this was my first time getting a tattoo, so I was fairly nervous but the event wound up quite enjoyable.
