New Years Ink
Adrian learned very early in his career that the best way to avoid starting off the new year dealing with pissed off people was to stop work by ten on New Years Eve. And by stop work, he meant door shut, lights off, and a huge "not a chance" sign on the door.
Even his usual system of capturing inebriated clients clearly requesting whatever drunken ideas they thought fabulous while wearing beer goggles didn't seem to help on New Years Day. Nope. Instead, he closed up and spent the night ringing in the new year in a much better way, to his mind anyway.
Which is why he was able to open the shop at ten on new years day, put out the sign offering ten percent off all new ink, and settle at the counter with coffee and a smile.

Adrian looked at the image, mentally tweaking it the way she indicated. "If you want this small and on your wrist, you're going to lose some of the detail, unless you're looking to carry her from wrist to forearm."
He picked up her hand and turned it over, tracing the area the ink would cover, from wrist to nearly her elbow. There wasn't anything overly sensual about it, his touch was more like a doctor's examination. "I'd pick somewhere else for a design like this, like your back, down from shoulder along the scapula, she should be free to spread her fins, her hair, without being cramped into a small space."
