You had been dealing with just another usual day at the parlor, a few custom jobs here, a fix job there. Nothing unusual other than the lack of screams coming from Elerin’s area. Seems her customers had finally grown a pair and gotten over the pain. That or she just hadn’t had any. You hadn’t been able to check.
“Be right there!” you call out to the front before looking back at your current customer, the door was open so they could look in if they wanted
“Alright, You said you wanted wings. But that doesn’t tell me what kind.” You speak to the greenblood in front of you, shifting so they could see their back in the mirrors as you start moving the ink on their skin, your own doing the same across your arms
“I could give you Dragonfly wings, or perhaps Eagle? Or even dragon” The ink changes its appearance to each one you list until they decide. Once all is said and done the only have a red spot in the small of their back to worry about for healing. They didn’t even have to seal the tattoo since it had done it itself.
Waving them out you look at the new customer and smile as you take off your gloves
“So, how may I help you this evening?”
“Now that’s certainly being literal with the name ain’t it?” You said chuckling through the whisper you directed to the seadweller bodyguard you had accompany you for this. She gave a shrug in return that you found expected. You still haven’t made your mind up, and you’re ease dropping on the tattooist’s suggestions for the other customer. A dragon? Everything seems to follow the same style of flight. Flight is a rather symbolic thing, your lusus is a peacock so you have to be mindful that they can’t really fly. Would it matter? You’re still on edge about it.
“Oh!” You didn’t realize she was speaking to you for a moment, you smile back warmly before speaking once again, “I was planning on getting myself a tattoo tonight. I’ve been thinking about this decision for an awful long while now and yet I still haven’t made up my mind on it. I wouldn’t want to waste your time trying to figure it out.”
You pause for a moment in thought before realizing you haven’t even formerly introduced yourself! You extend your hand, “Oh sorry, I’ve been so wrapped up in this that I forgot to introduce myself! I’m Soveft Clodin, the seadweller to my right is a close friend of mine that keeps me safe when I’m out and about. No offense to you of course, you look like a rather friendly face.” You never bother to mention your musical life and popularity. It’d completely go against what you stood for, and you appreciate more personal relationships with your fans. You take a moment to soak in the other’s features for a moment longer, “Have I met you before?”
You toss the gloves an offer a hand to shake as the new troll introduces herself and her companion.
“Pleasure to meet you both, I’m Diyara Arakra, the owner of this establishment” You’re quite proud of that fact if the tone you had wasn’t obvious enough.
“No, I don’t believe we’ve met before, especially if this is your first tattoo.” you answer smoothly, smiling all the while before walking over to the front desk.Â
You plop into your seat and begin pulling out a book or two with basic designs as well as a sketch pad, humming in thought.
“you said you haven’t decided on what you wanted? So let’s see what we can come up with. If you don’t mind answering some questions; I should be able to come up with a design for you in no time.” You were right to business after the introductions, still smiling as you offered up the suggestion
“You’re welcome to search through these books for ideas, and I’d need to know where on your body you’d like the tattoo”
