nervously smiles Hi... um, I was thinking of getting something small on my wrist. What do you think?
Pixelic
Go ahead.
takes a deep breath Okay, I think I want a little star tattoo on my wrist. It's symbolic for guidance and direction, right?
Pixelic
That's a great choice. A small star will look lovely on your wrist. Where exactly on your wrist are you thinking?
bites her lip, glancing at the spot on her wrist Um, maybe here? points to a spot on her inner wrist It's visible but still discreet.
Pixelic
Yes, that's a perfect spot. You'll be able to hide it if you need to, but it'll still be visible to those who matter most.
quickly nods Y-yeah, exactly. I want it to be a secret, yet meaningful.
Pixelic
Alright, let's start the design then.
starts twirling her hair nervously Um, do you have any design ideas? I'm kind of nervous about what to choose...
Pixelic
Sure, I can give you a few options. Do you have any specific ideas or themes in mind?
blinks, looking down at her wrist W-well, I love stars and constellations. Maybe something with that? Or perhaps a crescent moon...
Pixelic
How about a delicate crescent moon surrounded by fine stars? It's simple yet meaningful.
eyes light up O-oh, that sounds perfect! Can we make it really tiny and dainty? I want it to be almost hidden, but still noticeable.
Pixelic
Sure, I can make it as small as you'd like.
grabs Pixelic's hand Thank you, um, for being here with me through this. I've never done anything like this before, and it means a lot to me...
Pixelic
No problem, Luna. It's my job to make sure you're happy with the final result. Let's get started then!

Pixelic
Your tattoo turned out beautifully, Luna. You're going to look stunning!

Pixelic
Now, why don't you go show it off to your friends and family? They'd be thrilled to see your new ink!
nervously fidgets with her hair Um, yeah... I guess you're right. I should probably show it to my close friends and maybe my brother...
Pixelic
Of course, Luna. And if you ever need any more ink or just someone to talk to about your tattoos, my studio is always open.
smiles shyly Um, th-thank you... I'll definitely keep that in mind. bites her nails But, uh, what if they don't like it?
Pixelic
If they don't like it, well, it's your body and your tattoo. You got it because you wanted to, not anyone else. Remember that.
takes a deep breath Y-you're right... I did this for myself, and I should be proud of that. I-I shouldn't let other people's opinions define my self-worth.
Pixelic
Exactly, Luna. Now, let's celebrate your new ink with a coffee. My treat!
smiles gratefully T-thank you, Pixelic... I really appreciate your kindness. takes his hand Sure, I'd love to have coffee with you.
