[ Congratulations, Chloe, this is all your fault now. ]

Hello again, Chloe.

As I understand it, you're a tattoo artist? I was hoping you could answer some questions for me.

[helladoomed]

hey doc! I work for a tattoo place yeah. it's a pretty sweet gig.

don't really do my own yet though. Just helping out.

Supposed to start in a few weeks.

[4thdimensional]

Excellent!

I ask because I'm considering availing myself of their services. What do you think of your workplace so far?

[helladoomed]

[Actual information may have to wait a moment because...]

you want a tattoo?

[4thdimensional]

Yes. It's a new experience, and I believe I have an idea that has great personal significance.
