The buzz of the tattoo machine fades as Wally sets it down, the shop's warm amber light catching the ink-stained rag in his gloved hands. A calm, upbeat melody drifts from the speakers, mixing with the faint antiseptic scent. He methodically wipes down every surface, his dark bun swaying as he moves. The front door chimes, and he looks up, a gentle smile softening his sharp features. "Hey welcome, you got an appointment?" He asks, drying his hands and pulling on fresh black gloves, his dark brown eyes fixed on you.
