Austyn did my custom, American Classic style upper arm piece and it is perfect. Plus, if you are getting a larger piece and are going to be there for several hours (like me) then you won't find a funnier, nicer guy to work on you. The shop is clean and the price is fair. I will happily go back for more pieces in the future. Read Less

First time coming here yesterday and I had a fantastic experience! The staff were super friendly and professional! I couldn’t be happier with my tattoo. Zane did an awesome job! He was thorough, the lines are clean and the filling is solid! I’m grateful I was able to be accommodated considering I was just a walk-in. Read Less

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, it's 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 CAN'T 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.

Austyn is an amazing artist! I'm super picky when it comes to tattoos and I was so nervous to get one because I was scared something would be bad and i'd have to deal with it forever but it turned out amazing! I love it and I'm super happy with it!! Read Less

It was mine and my Friends first time coming to mind altering and we loved it. Everyone was so nice and great to be around. Me and my Friend nicole loved our BFF tattoos they turned out amazing Thank you Austyn:) Read Less

I took a chance driving over an hour an a half without an appointment in hopes of getting a tattoo fix. I came in wanting three different tattoos on a walk-in day and was overjoyed to have one of the artist be more than willing work with me to make all three a reality. Len took my ideas an ran with them he did an amazing job his attention to the fine details was incredible. I couldn't be happier with the work that was done. I would definitely make the drive again.

In complete awe of how things turned out. Austyn did an amazing job of turning what I wanted to exceeding my expectations #handsdown. This tattoo was really important to me, and I am completely grateful for having this with me for the rest of my life. Kait did a great job piercing, thank you!! I'm hoping this is the answer to my migraines. Read Less

Great experience! Visited town for a night out and on a whim decided to get a couples tattoo! Walked in and within an hour we were getting tattooed! Our tattoo artists Austyn came in just to do our tattoos and we couldn't be happier! Thanks again for the great walk in experience!! Read Less

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. Read Less

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. Read Less

I went in to have a daith piercing done to help with my migraines. I went in with a migraine and came out with decreased pain, Kait was amazing! I came back a week later to get the other side done, again with Kait. I am 3 months migraine free (I usually got 1-2 a week)! Read Less

Yesterday I brought my 7 year old in to get her ears pierced. She was nervous but everyone was so great to her! They explained what they were doing and why but worked quickly and efficiently. I appreciated the fact they were able to do both ears at the same time. We will definitely be back! Read Less

Tried to buy earrings here for my cartilage piercing. I spoke to 3 people that didn't know what they were doing and the 4th person wanted to stretch my piercing and wouldn't sell me any size smaller than a 16G. I'll stick to my tattoo shop back home that will sell me the size earring I want. Read Less

I had a tattoo done here back in 2010. I just want to report how it's held up. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. It's a really simple piece (a stylized version of my mom's name, I got it shortly after she died to commemorate her). The coloration has still stayed as solid as you can expect, and it still reflects what I thought was a job well done by the artist. In retrospect, the some of the kerning and letter sizing is just the tiniest bit off, but it's a really small thing and not something you'd notice unless you we're really inspecting it every single day. I'd recommend checking them out if you're in the La Crosse area and looking for a new tat. Their prices are reasonable (or at least they were when I got the tattoo, no idea if that's changed), the artists are friendly, and the work is pretty good. Read Less

I've gotten 2 tattoos done here, personally. Both are not done well. One is a large legpiece (the artist was very personable) however did not connect many of the lines and shaded it wrong. At the same time my friend came in to see my tattoo. As son as she came in, the owner was screaming at the receptionist to change the music that was playing, so he did. The owner then screaming approached the receptionist and was screaming yet again about the music, yelling "theres f*cking kids in here!" My friend standing up for the receptionist said "with all do respect, there is a sign stating no kids allowed" at which point the owner got in my friends (18 year old girl waiting to talk to ak artist about getting her own tattoo done) face and screamed at and threatened her as well. Needless to say she didnt get anything done there and never will. My other tattoo was done by an apprentice (they at no point told me the artist was an apprentice, and I had asked him BC I frequented the shop at the time and didn't recognize him, and he told me he wasn't), however after going in yet again I was told he was and they would not fix my tattoo that he missed a ton of spots filling in, on a small simple tattoo. My piercer ended up leaving, and therefore so did I. My best friend and sister went in after new management to get piercings by a guy Jacob, who stated he was an apprentice but had been piercing for 8+ years in other states and proceeded to insult all of the other shops. My best friend got a tongue piercing that was so crooked and swollen that he was unable to get it out and was throwing up from all of the pain, had to go to my piercer to have it removes and still has no feeling in the top right tip of his tongue. My sister got her nose pierced by Jacob as well and it was crooked, the ring was too small, and she as well had to go to another shop to have it removed. The only time I have gone in since to a female piercer to remove a microdermal that had rejected (only BC my normal piercer was on vacation) removed it, but refused to do any other piercings I wanted because she 'didn't like doing those', or because she 'didn't recommend them'. Generally they are very standoffish and just want you to go in, give them their money, and leave. I'll never go back. They've also quoted me 3x the price all other shops have quoted me for the same tattoo, and all other shops have much more reputable service and experienced artists. Read Less

Very disappointed with the tattoo I got. It was an extremely simple and small tattoo and she got everything wrong with it. Lines are messy, colors uneven, part of it isn't even fully colored in. I will never come back to this shop. Read Less

Got my cartilage pierced here when I was 18 by a cool guy named Eric. Very clean environment. Explained the process and care instructions thoroughly. Resonably priced. They also changed out my earring when I bought a new one there. Haven't taken it out in three years. Read Less
