Let's get down to it. A tattoo is the process of scarring your body with ink using various sizes of needles. Yes, it can be painful. Yes, the healing process is nasty. And, yes, the final result can either be beautiful or disastrous.Luckily for me, I went to Landmark and, so far, the result is beautiful. I walked in on a Wednesday and made an appointment for Thursday. The gal at the counter (I think her name is Shay) was incredibly sweet and walked me though what they would need from me. Here's a couple of tips for the shop:-The minimum is $60-There's a $100 deposit-They are CASH ONLYThey have an ATM in the back, but if you come prepared, you can save yourself $3 in ATM fees.My artist was Seth and he was fantastic. We talked for a bit about what I wanted. He offered his input and prodded me for a little more from me (I can be a rather "Oh, you know what looks good, just make it look pretty" type of person, which isn't a great thing when you're getting something permanent on your body) until we got what I was looking for.It's so easy to think, "Oh, tattoo shop, all those rebels working under one roof, it must be chaos." But I would say that you couldn't be further from the truth. Everyone who works here is a professional. They keep a very accurate appointment system and everyone is very reliable. That being said, chances of you hearing the f-bomb are about 100%. Which, for me, is just wonderful.The place is decorated very much like an old school tattoo parlor with a twist. There are animal heads all of the wall and a very chilling stuffed fox greets you at the front desk. There is artwork all over the walls and each station is unique to the artist's tastes. But, because of the big windows in front, it's still really bright in shop and it doesn't feel like some seedy back alley tattoo parlor.I would recommend this place to anyone. They have a great staff that seems really tight knit. The rates are reasonable and they have decades and decades of experiences among them. I'm so glad they're in my neighborhood. Read Less
