Aye, I got my shop up and runnin'.

( The camera is focused on Gara's tattooed and half-dead face for as long as this sentence, before he turns it to the store front. It reads 'GRAVE WAX TATTOO & PIERCING'. The windows are painted up with coffins and undead creatures. )

Grave Wax was somethin' I wanted to start when I was back in fuckin' Hiroshima, so it's about fuckin' time.

( Said while he enters the store; black and white checkered flooring because of course, with dark decor and a few stations for ink, two for metal. He pans it slowly, before turning the camera back on himself. )

Bring in a design that makes me laugh and you'll get it for free. There's limits on that, though, don't fuckin try me.

( A pause. )

We also do suspensions, but that's not for punk bitches. If you wanna join the team, come by with a portfolio. Otherwise, shit's half off today.

I like classic flash and neo-traditional. I usually have to work in blackwork with my clients coz they're handead and want their deadspots tatted over.

I think my favorite shit to do is unusual work, but that's kind'a a cop out. Horror and grotesque is a fave. I like zombies, heh.

( that he likes zombies and horror. )

( not, in and of itself, horror or zombies, she supposes. but it's what she's had her heart set on for a few years now. )

( that's where her mind goes when she hears cartoony. Those overly cloying, cute kind of elephant tattoos. Ick. )

I'll draw somethin' up and send it your way. Anything else you want on it?

[bratherine]

😛

[shurajodo]

( After a little while he sends back an image of an elephant from the side, trunk up. The linework is thin and simple, but there's a design on its back resembling a lotus facing down. )
