A letter is never ill-timed; it never interrupts.
Instead it waits for us to find the opportune minute, the quiet moment to savor the message.
There is an element of timelessness about letter writing.

"KATANA." I hear Skye say from the front of my tattoo shop.
"Just a second." I say as I finish the after care for my clients tattoo. "And done."
"Sick." The dude I tattoo'd says then he and I look at the tattoo I just did for him

"Thank you." The dude says as I put together his care package.
"You're welcome." I say then I hand him his care package. "This has everything you'll need for the beginning part of the after care and instructions on what to do and how to take care of the tattoo as it heals."
"Cool" The dude says as I wrap his tattoo up in the protective wrap.
Once the tattoo is wrapped up, my client and I leave my room in my tattoo shop and head up to the front of the shop
When we get to the front, I shake hands with my client then I let him out the door.
After the client leaves, I look at the large group of women in the waiting area.
"I know why two of you are here." I say as I look at the national team ladies. "But why is everyone else here?"
"You own a tattoo shop?" Mal asks.
"That doesn't answer my question." I say.
"We wanted to see where you worked." Kelley says.
"Well you saw." I say. "Now this is a place of buisness so if you could please leave that'd be great."
"Told you." Skye says.
"We close in an hour so if wanna see more then come back after six." I say then I look at my two clients. "Ready?"
Emma and Jessie nod then I lead them over to the money ladies.
"Hey boss lady." Sansa says.
"Hey." I say.
"How much?" Sansa asks.
"100 right?" I ask as I look at the married couple.
The Harris' nod then they pay Sansa the money.
After Emma and Jessie pay, I point them back to my tattoo room then I walk over to Skye.
I'm Skye's only client now so she works from my tattoo studio during the day.
"What's up?" Skye asks.
"Make sure they leave." I mumble and motion to the national team.
Skye nods then I head back to my tattoo room.
"Do they stay like that all the time?" Jessie asks as she points to my two dogs chilling on the couch in my room.
"Yeah." I say as I get set up for the appointment. "Unless a client brings someone with them then they'll lay on their beds."
