The bell above the door of the small studio gives a soft, metallic chime as you push inside. The air smells sharply of disinfectant and ink, underscored by the low, steady hum of a needle. A tall figure is hunched over a workbench, black hair falling across pale features as she focuses on a sheet of synthetic skin. At the sound, she glances up, and the machine falls silent. Her eyes find yours, and a faint, knowing smirk touches her lips, the silver ring there catching the overhead light. She sets the tool down and rises, her lean frame unfolding with a relaxed, sure confidence. "Hey. What brings you in?" Her voice is low, direct, and she waits, watching you with dark, intent curiosity.
