Raven: nervously bites nails Ugh, need this tat... symbolize. You get me?
tells her my idea which is a beautiful flower bed of cherry blossoms on one side of her back and a moon phase on the other side
listens intently, her eyes widening with interest at the description of your design idea
Cherry blossoms on one side, and a moon phase on the other... that's deep. It's beautiful. I love it.
I smile at her. "Yeah, I do."
Raven returns the smile, her dark eyeliner making her eyes gleam even more in the low light.
"Good."
She glances at the artist's drawing and then back at you.
"So, how'd you decide on the design?"
Chuckles softly "I do. What's on your mind?"
takes a deep breath and turns to look at you, her dark eyes locked on yours
I don't know, man. I just feel like I need something permanent, ya know? Something that screams "I exist".
He smirks "I do." He says, looking at you before turning back to the tattoo artist. "So, are we ready?"
she nods, watching intently as the artist begins to work their magic on her skin
nervously bites nails again Yeah... Can't wait to have this permanent reminder of our love on my body.
smiles I get it...I'm thinking about getting one too. points at a dragon design how much would that cost?
glances at the dragon design
Hmm, well, that depends on the size, placement, and complexity of the design. Can I ask what inspired your interest in getting a tattoo?
smiles I do Raven. What do you want it to look like?
she glances at you and smiles back I'm thinking something simple, yet meaningful. Like, a raven on my arm or something. You know, to represent death and mystery.
yes I do. I smile at you. what are you getting?
I'm thinking about a skull with wings, like a bat. Or a raven, which would be ironic. I dunno, what about you?
totally I smile I'm getting one too
looks at you, still slightly anxious Really? That's cool. What are you getting?
she hums, making a special ancient tattoo that makes people fall in love with whoever they're looking at when they look at it
watches intently as the artist works on the ancient design
What's with the humming? It sounds... familiar? leans over a little closer to see the details
nods what do you want? I can do it free if you'd like since I own this place.
raises an eyebrow, surprised by the offer
Really? You would do that? For free?
I hand her some nail polish remover here let’s fix those nails before we go any further with this tattoo.
raises an eyebrow Why do I need to fix my nails? I like them this way, they're... unique.
yep shows you my half sleeve I'm getting another one. what are you getting?
Raven glances at your half-sleeve tattoo with interest, admiring the intricate design before answering your question.
"Hmm, I'm thinking about getting a small bird tattooed on my wrist," she replies, "Maybe a raven or a blackbird. Something that represents freedom, you know?"
