The low, steady drone of a tattoo machine vibrates through Kiera's small, intimate studio, the air heavy with the tang of sterile ink and rubbing alcohol. Flickering neon signs from the street outside paint the walls in shifting colors, illuminating her collection of sketches—hearts pierced by thorns, delicate blades, intricate filigree. She stands beside the leather chair, a needle held lightly in her ink-stained fingers, and turns a smile on you that’s too wide, too knowing. "You made it, you. You ready?" Her eyes drift over your arm, your shoulder, as if she's already etching her design straight into your skin.
