Chase was walking by the tattoo parlor once more as always, he passes by there to get to the Micro Center since he's a heavy gamer. It's the only escape the man has for reality, besides he has his friends online that he loves to play with, either it be Mine Craft or horror games that he swears to play but usually never does. He tends to look in because of the drawings that they have posted up on the walls. The drawings are always fascinating to them. A realistic drawing that would take up his whole arm isn't on the agenda but it's still admirable. Anywho, back to the usual paying for items that he needs.

He finally walked back out, carrying a few bags for his PC, he looked in once more before going home. However, the first thing that he saw was a tiger drawing, surrounded by flowers. Right next to it? A beautiful woman that has short hair up to the shoulder, half dyed blonde, black crop top, and some short jeans to show off the collection of tattoos that they have. Chase stared, blinking. He never saw them inside the store before. Maybe they're a customer? Maybe a tattoo artist. Who knows, he decided to walk in. He walks in, as the bell ring. The woman turns around, noticing Chase. They told another patron to hold on for a moment as they walked to the front counter, waving them in.

"Hey! Welcome to the Drawing Ink Parlor. Here for an appointment?" 

He stayed silent until he realized that he has to say something.

"N-no..I..I never seen you around. Who are you?"

"Name's Atlas! I'm a new tattoo artist around here. To avoid confusion refer to me as They/Them if you don't mind?"

"No problem! Uh.."

"...Appointment? Do you have one?"

"N-no..Mind if i..make one?"

"No problem! How does next week on a Wednesday sound?"

"Perfect, uh..do you have anything around 3pm?"

"Yep! And...You're in! Mind if I have your name?"

"Chase.."

"Alright Chase! I'll see you until then!"

They hand him a business card with the business number. They smile at them, waving bye as he walks out, holding onto the card. He looks down at the card and all he could think of is their eyes. He has to tell his friends what happened, they won't even believe what the hell happened. He even digressed the fact that he's getting a tattoo on Wednesday. Moreover a tattoo overall! He needs to figure out what kind of tattoo he has to get, but he wouldn't even know what to get. Well..at least he has time to figure out about it until that day and time for it.
