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.

More looking at the place, maybe offering myself as a part-time piercer, but other than that, I don't know what I'd get if I were to tattoo anything.

(oh. there he is. shin recognizes gara from the video - not like his appearance is easy to forget.)

We texted not too long ago.

[shurajodo]

Ah, yeah, hey.

( He traces a few more lines onto the design, but then sets the stylus down to give Shinichi his attention. )

No rush on nothing. You got experience with piercing others? Yourself?

[mindthebass]

Only getting them, but I have enough to have the process memorized by now. Is that alright if you'd have to teach me? I'm a fast learner and a musician, my hands are steady.

(is that how you get a normal job)

[shurajodo]

Yeah, 's cool with me. I'm lookin' for apprentices.

( He mulls it over for a beat. )

If you got any kind of art skill I can teach tattooing too, but piercing's good. Not too hard to learn.
