Art so real, you'd think it came to life on your skin.
tattoo parlour
A small shoppe nestled in the shadowy crevices of OpaCity. A place so hidden that no one thinks to regard it as a homage of illegal ink manipulation. Be careful what you ask for here.
@ᶜ˖⁺ hanbin k。 Oh my you're so damn adorable, don't make me melt just saying haha. You are indeed gonna see me again hm? Maybe not just for a tattoo. /smiles at you in admiration as my head is a little tilted to the side the same like you actually. It's wrong since you made my tattoo but if you really wanna treat me, I won't stop you but let me treat you next time okay? Haha hell no, I'm not taking no for an answer. /lets out a soft laugh as I point and wiggle my finger at you. Hey, I'm not the customer anymore since you finished my tattoo haha what you saying? I won't do anything since you said so. /nods as I go over to sit at one of the chairs while I watch you tidy things up, honestly haven't stop smiling all because of you actually. Gets up right way when you said you was done before I walk over to you. Oh no no, it took you 3 minutes or less please it was quick haha and I'm a patient person so no need to worry. Let's go indeed, hanbin. /nods just as quick with excitement since I was indeed excited to hang out with you. So are you feeling hungry? If you are, I know a good place where we can eat and they have all the food you can choose from.
@ᶜ˖⁺ brittany o。 "it's no problem at all," hanbin chuckles, still quite flattered as he watches the girl grin brightly. he offers her a small smile of his own. "i'll look forward to seeing you some time soon, then?" and really, he does. not many of his customers give him tips or compliments, much less invite him to hang out. brittany seems nice and charming, and hanbin can't keep the happy shine in his eyes from seeping through. humming to himself, he tilts his head in amusement. "i could do that too," he offers. "i guess this means i'm going to be treating you out, huh?"
at the sudden offer of assistance, hanbin shakes his head, smiling. this girl really is nice, he's almost amazed. "no, no, it's fine," he chuckles. "you're still the customer, i can't have you doing my work for me, now can i?" with that, he tries to quickly finish closing up - locking the cash register, putting the tools back in their proper places and what not, before he takes his coat from the nearby coat hanger, slinging it over his arm. "i'm done," he calls out. "hopefully i didn't make you wait too long. shall we head out?"
@ᶜ˖⁺ hanbin k。 () that's perfectly fine okay ? take your time !
It is literally but i thank you really for my tattoo! I'm definitely coming to you if i ever want a bigger one okay? /makes an okay sign at you with a big as grin on m face because you was being cute as . gasps in awe by your answer before i let out a soft chuckle then nods. Haha we can definitely split it up but if you want to pay for me, i definitely don't mind that either. /playfully wiggled my eyebrows before i continue to chuckle. The pleasure is all mines. I'll wait for you to finish and close the shop so we can go out hm-oh wait, you need help with anything? If you do, i would love to help.
@ᶜ˖⁺ brittany o。 [ the downside is that i take a while to reply sometimes though ; v ; but eheh thank you keep at it i'm sure you'll get it!! ]
a surge of pride bubbles in his chest and he beams at the girl, eyes shining with gratitude. he's always proud of his own work, of course, but getting compliments on them is different - he can't help but just smile. "thank you," he says softly, a little shy as he chuckles. "it's no problem, getting your first tattoo can be pretty terrifying." he's just about to turn around when she offers him the tip, his eyes widening in surprise. he doesn't usually get tips, but he's never really minded because he isn't in this for the money. still, it's highly appreciated, and hanbin can't help but flush the slightest bit as he takes the money from her. "you didn't have to," he mumbles, scratching the back of his neck sheepishly. "but thank you anyway, miss. it's much appreciated. you have a good night too, and stay safe on your way home!"
he thinks that's the end of it as he pockets the money, his mood quickly brightening as he finishes closing up shop, but the girl reenters, hanbin tilting his head in surprise as he listens to her. he laughs, a bright smile on his face. "that would be great, actually," he replies. "but you've already given me a tip, i'll feel indebted if i let you treat me. shall we split the bill instead?" he offers. "i'm hanbin. it's nice to meet you too, miss brittany!"
@ᶜ˖⁺ hanbin k。 () I really like your starter a lot. Why can't I write as beautifully detailed like yours ? c":
/Winces a little at times while you was doing my small heart tattoo. I watched you in admiration then at the heart tattoo because damn you was indeed good at your work as a tattoo artist. As soon as you was done, I grin just as wide as I looked at my finished tattoo. As I hear your question, I said right away. It's very beautiful indeed! I'm so sorry for taking up your whole time until this shop closed. Oh for doing so swell, I'm gonna give you a tip. /takes out my money from my wallet that came from my mini backpack behind my back, giving you the money. Keep it okay? You deserve it. You have a goodnight okay? /smiles at you widely as I nod before I start to walk out of the shop but soon stops when I thought of an idea. Turns my heel of my shoes well as my body. Hey, you wanna hang out? Let it be my treat okay? Oh my name is Brittany, it's a pleasure to meet you!
@ᶜ˖⁺ brittany o。 hanbin stretches, fingers furling and unfurling as he looks over at his last customer, offering her a small smile. he hadn't asked her name, because well, his job here mostly serves as an outlet for his art. the mere action of drawing on someone's skin, making his mark on them never fails to give him a happy little buzz in his chest. he never really gets to know his customers, that part's reserved for his other part time job at least, because seeing his art permanently etched into their skin is more than enough, at least for him.
"you're good to go," he tells the girl, lips curling up in satisfaction as he eyes the tiny, dark heart that stands out against the pale skin of her finger. it's small, and definitely not one of his more intricate works, but he doesn't really mind, it's still quite pretty. honestly, he had thought she wouldn't go through with it, the few hours she'd spent trying to decide on exactly what tattoo to get a clear indication of how scared she'd been. he's used to people chickening out though, since it had been scary the first time he'd gotten a tattoo as well. "it turned out nice, don't you think?" he hums, taking her hand to inspect the tattoo a little more - he's proud of this one.
suddenly, he takes notice of the darkness outside and checks his watch, pursing his lips. "it's getting dark," he says, releasing her hand and beginning to put away the things he'd used. "you should head out before it's too late, miss. i'm gonna go ahead and close up now, if you don't mind?"
