Where was this ink shop?
Daiya kept to the edges of the crowd as it pulled her along the strip, her eyes searching and wary. Not the best part of Seven Corners, definitely not the worst. The teen was familiar enough that she could keep her mind off where she was headed and focus instead on finding the shop. Her lips curled, it was not so much a shop as just a single artist.
She'd heard about them from the usual places. Once someone in a bright yellow coat sets up with a deal that's too good to be true, it's either a scam or the best opportunity in a lifetime. The young shadowrunner wasn't about to miss out on either of them, if it turned out to be a scam artist then at least her curiosity would be satisfied.
A few passersby sported new tattoos, promising a lead in the direction they'd come. When Daiya traced them back, the location was empty but for a few other disappointed faces. She trekked on, not willing to give up yet.
There. Another alley, but the look of wonder on a departing customer was unmistakable. Either this scam was better than most, or Daiya had found her opportunity.
Yellow Jacket turned out to be a kid, maybe not even her own age, deftly wielding a cybertattoo gun as well as Daiya would a real blaster. The teen grinned to herself, rolling up a pant leg before she made it to the front of the line. Excitement at getting her third tattoo was swiftly overpowering her dread anticipating how painful it would be.
"
Oh my stars, I love your jacket. Where did you get it?" Daiya gushed when she got before the tattooist kid. She presented her blank calf and settled in for the tattoo. "
Think they'd have any in pink?"
