Altered State is amazing. I’ve been going there for the past 5 years for all of my tattoos and I’m pretty covered. My husband has also been going to see Pooch for the past 20+ years and is completely covered with his phenomenal work. His work is legendary a whole style of his own. I trust Pooch, Scott and Dean HANDS DOWN every time to create masterpieces for me. They ALL have many many many years of experience as tattoo artists and all are artists as well. All I have to do is give them a concept and a few pics for inspiration and they always nail it. I’m complimented daily on my tattoos and can attribute it all to my boys at Altered State. The shop is clean, pristine and a cool environment, always good jams playing and all of the artists are friendly, welcoming and extremely professional. They are always respectfully honest with their clients in regards to guiding you in the right direction for your piece. If they feel something may not fit the body part you want to get your work done they will be honest with you as their objective is to always please their clients and give them the result they’re looking for. They never let me down. I can proudly say my boys at Altered State are the best and i will continue to go to them to create amazing art on my body! Check em out! Read Less

Altered State !!! What can I say, 😬 I have a lot to say that is great things about this shop. My artist “Michael Pucciarelli “ AKA Pooch is simply the best artist all around. I’m so extremely happy with the art he has put on my body, I’m really looking forward get more from him. His vision that he creates artistically is mind blowing. Thank you Pooch for my beautiful ink.

There aren’t enough stars to say how awesome this shop is!! I’ve been tattooed by a few tattoo artists here! Each one of them have been nothing short of creative, professional and super friendly. The atmosphere is super comfortable the moment you walk in the door. The shop is clean. Although, they do take walk-ins, I had to schedule my appointments after consulting with the artists. The quality and creativeness that comes along with that is unmatched. Read Less

Altered State Tattoo is the only place I trust in Palm Beach County. Pooch and Scott are above and beyond talented and thorough. The entire staff brings their unique styles to the table and will be able to come up with a beautiful design to suit all tastes. Highly recommended!! Read Less

Best artists! Clean and beautiful shop/art gallery! Everyone there is friendly and want to give you a custom, quality tattoo that will last the test of time! They are worth the wait but do take walk-ins when available! Read Less

The amount of talent, professionalism, and good vibes that come from this shop are like none I have seen before. I will be coming back to this place for future work again and again. Highly recommended! Read Less

All my ink is by Pooch. I may not have had anything new in the past ten years since I moved out of state, but I have not added any either. Just can't find anyone this good!!!!! Hoping someday to plan a tattoo vacation. Read Less

Just got my first tattoo and it was the best experience ! Dean was so patient and helped me and my cousin design and pick the right size and place for our tattoos. The shop is very comfortable and welcoming, highly recommend !!! Read Less

I'm mid-tattoo with Pooch and I couldn't be happier. I went into the shop with very vague ideas involving a lion, a mansion, and the feeling I wanted to convey. Add to this that it also needed to cover up an old tattoo. I am so, so happy with how he turned my vague direction into a magnificent work of art. I won't be embarrassed to wear sleeveless shirts any more. Plus the shop is more like a salon than a tattoo shop. Comfortable & classy. Read Less

Pooch is one of the best in the biz!! It wouldn't let me post a pic but Pooch did a full back piece of his painting "Musica de los meurtos" on me several years ago and it still looks great!! Thanks Pooch! Read Less

Was recommended to Scott White from a mutual friend of ours & he did not disappoint! My tattoo actually turned out way better than I imagined. The guys are all very friendly & the atmosphere of the shop is inviting, fun, and comfortable! Read Less

I've been getting tattooed here for over a decade. The entire staff is smart and creative and only interested in producing quality work. There's nowhere else I would consider going. Thanks for everything Pooch. Read Less

Altered State has internationally acclaimed artists that do exceptional original art. I have almost fifty hours of ink from here, including a full back piece by Pooch that is ten years old and is still so beautiful and vibrant that people think it's fresh. Scott White is also fantastic and really makes your ideas come to life. I have seen a lot of bad ink out there, and I won't go anywhere else. Read Less

I have been going to Altered State for over ten years and won't go anywhere else. I have a full back piece by Pooch that still has vibrant colors and extensive detail that has not faded after ten years. Scott is phenomenal as well and makes beautiful images out of your ideas. World-class shop offering great original art Read Less

Best shop in West Palm Beach hands down, great friendly talented staff. I have two amazing tattoos from this place and highly recommend. There can be a waiting list also, but scheduling is easy and well worth it.Read Less

We are so lucky to have a great tattoo artist like Pooch living in our own backyard. I would say he's at the level of some of the great tattoo artists in the world. The work he did for me was beyond what I expected. I highly recommend him to anyone. Read Less

I had a pretty big back piece that was in the works when I moved to the area. After researching and getting several recommendations, I chose Altered State. I was so excited, I even discussed getting my sleeve done there!The place was really clean, and everyone was very nice. However, once I left (and all the adrenaline from sitting on the chair for ~4hours had worn off), I took a second look at the coloring work that I had done, and it brought me to tears. We discussed it being mostly blue, and the artist suggested some orange highlights. Silly me... I thought highlights meant a touch of orange, not the great majority. Some details that were meant to be just a touch darker than my skin are extremely dark, and instead of shading, they look like random gobs of ink placed randomly under my skin. To this day it brings me to tears, and I am going through the very painful and expensive process of getting this tattoo removed, since several other artists I have talked to said there's not much to do about it.

Highly recommend this shop! Scott & Pooch are extremely talented artists... And not just as tattooists. These guys are professional, the shop is always clean & the level of work done is untouchable! No matter where I go, every day someone stops me to remark on how much they like the work Scott did on me! You can be sure the quality of ink is amazing too! I have colors that are still bright & vibrant years later. Read Less

I've been going to Altered State for the past 15 years. Scott & Pooch have always done nothing but QUALITY work. I get stopped on a weekly basis by even the elderly telling me how beautiful and colorful my tattoos are - a testament to their artistry. If you're looking for custom and I can stress this enough, quality work - you've come to the right place. However, don't go in looking to pick something off the wall. It's either custom or nothing... and I also think there is a ban on Taz tattoos. Other than that, Altered State is the tits! Read Less
