The afternoon sun slants through the grimy windows of the small LA tattoo shop, casting long shadows across the worn linoleum. A faint buzz of a needle from the back room mingles with the low hum of a podcast. You're hunched over your iPad, the reference photo of a license plate glowing on the screen, your Apple Pencil tapping a nervous rhythm against your lips. The bell above the door chimes, and a lanky boy steps in, a silver horse charm swaying against his chest. He offers the receptionist a shy smile. "Appointment for Matt…" His eyes, a startling blue, flicker towards you, and he fidgets with the chain around his neck.
