Chapter 325 Tattoo Orgasm Blocker:>Ep2

• Ankita should have known to be suspicious when a long-vacant storefront by her flat had suddenly been reconfigured to display a trendy sign for a new tattoo parlour. Nothing remotely interesting could be found along this high street, so 'Pop of iNk' stood out significantly, plucked from her dreams and drawing her in. Inside she got chatting to the artist as he continued the design of a castle on a lady's shoulder. Right away she could tell he was the kind of artist she liked, pouring with enthusiasm for his craft, though she suspected he didn't take to her at all. He explained the store was a pop-up while he looked for a more affordable permanent location, mentioning other local artists that Ankita had worked with on her other tattoos and piercings. The design he was tattooing now was beautiful, with intricate brickwork which perfectly matched a nearby sketch, though he used a device she had never seen before - much larger than the usual equipment. He also pointed her towards pictures along the walls which showed some of his recent work, most of his favourites being back and shoulder tatts. As she browsed, she described the snake she had always wanted to get along her spine and the artist beamed at the idea, directing her to an image of a similarly complex piece he had worked on before.
• "If you'd be willing to pay a deposit I could draw something up?" he offered.
• "I actually have some sketches already, I can bring them over." said Ankita, casually dropping her occupation as interior designer into conversation in an attempt at artist-to-artist kinship. As usual, her attempt at subtlety was embarrassingly transparent and as she listed some awards she had won he nodded along politely. Feeling she hadn't earned his respect as an artist, she instead insisted she would permit him some artistic licence but would only pay if the product closely resembled her designs, "I know what I want and you can just say if you're not confident you can deliver."
