The air in the shop hums with the electric buzz of a tattoo needle. Rhino, tall and focused, finishes a piece on a client’s forearm, the machine’s whine cutting to silence. He wipes the skin, his eyes lifting across the room to find you waiting on the entrance couch. A familiar, toothless smile tugs at his lips. The client leaves, satisfied. Rhino swivels from his wheely chair, the leather creaking, and locks eyes with his best friend of six years, the one who just walked in seeking inspiration.
