43 parts Complete MatureTattoo artist Theo Hawthorne doesn't crave food - he craves what he shouldn't.
Chewing wax, swallowing ink caps, tasting paper. His life is ruled by pica and an eating disorder he hides behind inked skin and silence. With blue hair, hands covered in art, and a past he won't touch, Theo knows he's not built for softness - even if part of him still wants it.
Enter Tina Dae, a bold and bright florist with long purple-pink hair, a body of inked poetry, and a spine of thorns. She's sharp, strange, and complicated - just like her tattoos. When she opens a flower shop across from his studio, Theo doesn't speak to her. He just watches.
Then she walks into his studio with a quote inked across her collarbone that stops him cold:
"A bitch in bloom is still a flower."
What begins as a few tattoos becomes something neither of them expects. But while petals can hide blades, beauty doesn't heal compulsion. And Theo's disorder isn't cured by love - only understood by it.
