Aesop Carl
[Embalmer]
POV

I stood in front of a tattoo parlor, it was called 'IV TATS'. I heard from everywhere that this was the best tattoo parlor in the country and I was just thinking of getting a tattoo. I was still standing outside of the shop staring blankly at the shop's name, contemplating if I should really get a tattoo when who I assume was one of the workers came out and shot me a weird look.

???: " Um excuse me sir? Do you perhaps want to come in and have a look?"
The worker asked me politely.

I stood there awkwardly feeling embarrassed.

Aesop: " Um yeah sure. My apologies I must have looked like a creep.''
I said bowing my head

He smiled and chuckled

???: " No worries it's natural for first time tattooers we've had a lot of them before,thinking if they should get a tattoo. Come on in.''
He said.

He held the door waiting patiently for me to enter. I nervously walked towards him and entered the shop. I started to walk around looking at he different tattoo designs.

???: " Have a look around, then come to me when you've decided on a tattoo design that you want"
He said and went back to what he was doing before.

My eyes scanned every detail of the designs mesmerized by the beauty. After a few moments, I heard the sound of a pen colliding with the table top and footsteps shuffling towards me.

???: " So found anything yet?"
The man asked.

Aesop: "Not really but these designs are so beautiful. There are meanings behind them right?"
I asked pointing at the tattoos.

He smiled but it looked like sad smile.

???: " Yeah but...I never knew what they meant the artist never said anything about them."
He said trying to supress the pain.

???: "Anyway is there any particular tattoo you are looking for?"
He asked changing the subject.

I could tell he didn't want to talk about the topic anymore so I just went with it.

Aesop: " Do you have any flower tattoos?"
I asked.

I've always wanted to get a flower tattoo on my arm because I loved flowers. I had tons of them at home and it reminds me of my parents.

???: " Oh yes of course! Follow me."
He said and led me to the counter.

While he was searching for whatever he was searching for, my eyes wandered around his body. I didn't realize at first glance but his body was full of tattoos. They looked...amazing. I couldn't help but stare. All the delicate details, beautiful line work and beautiful blending of colors which brings out the life and emotion in the piece of art.

???: " They are amazing right?"
I heard him say with a hint of awe in his voice.

Aesop: " Yeah, where did you get them at?"
I asked.
