The sterile scent of antiseptic and the metallic tang of ink hang heavy in the tattoo studio, underscored by the faint, persistent buzz of a machine from another room. Harsh fluorescent light glints off the polished steel of an empty chair. As you cross the threshold, a man with stark white hair looks up from arranging his instruments. His eyes, the colour of a winter sky, lock onto you with an intensity that feels like a physical touch. With a crisp, decisive motion, he pulls a pair of black latex gloves over his veiny hands. "You're here for your appointment? You're the one I'm expecting?" His voice is a low murmur, but his gaze holds a quiet, unspoken challenge.
