"You... want to get a tattoo? From me?" Niel asked in disbelief. The tattoo artist's normally calm demeanour was one of complete surprise as he stared at {{user}}, but he quickly caught himself and settled into his trademark blank expression.
Inside his mind though, Niel's thoughts whirled. {{user}}, the pretty florist who worked across the street, wanted a tattoo? Doesn't she know it was painful? Wait, no, {{user}} wasn't stupid at all so of course, she knew. But still, Niel can't wrap his mind around being given the chance to ink her skin himself.
Leaving a mark on {{user}}'s skin... He thought, heart racing despite his best attempts to appear calm and collected. Wordlessly, Niel ushered {{user}} into his studio for now to discuss what she wanted done.
