"Good morning passengers this is your captain speaking. It is 11:01 am in New York and the weather is sunny and 83 degrees. We'll be landing here soon. Thank you for flying with us and we hope you enjoy your time in New York."
The captains log wakes me up from my trance into the movie I'm watching. I can't belive I'm already here. The show starts tomorrow, and I'm pretty damn nervous.
When the plane lands I grab my bags from the overhead bin and make my way off the plane. Once I step outside into the warm heat the city over takes me. You look up and see skyscrapers tower over the city that reach the clouds. You hail a taxi and make your way to the hotel you'll be staying at. Once you get into your room and get settled you decide to go out.
The show doesn't start until tomorrow so youve got some time to kill. Once your out shopping the streets you decide to go check out the shop that the shows set in.
Once you arive you relize the doors are locked. You stand there for a second thinking about what to do until a girl comes up behind you.
"Hi. Are you here for the competition?" She asks
She's hella pretty, covered in tattoos and kinda short if you remove her heels.
"Yeah I am. My names y/n"
"Hi y/n I am too my names tatu baby." She tells me shaking my hand
"Nice to meet you baby. I was gonna check out the shop but the doors locked."
"I was gonna too. Wait let's check the back" she says as we jog slightly to the back
The door back here has a mat that says 'Ink Master' in black. I reach under and find a key. I shove it in the door and it actually works. I look back at baby smiling and put the key in my pocket for when we leave. We walk in together and go around the shop. I see my name on a plack outside a shop that's probably mine. Tatu baby's right next to mine.
"Hey at least we're neighbors." I say to her
She laughs lightly and I see some of my best tattoo pieces on my wall and I go over to baby's and look at hers.
"Wow you're an amazing artist." I tell her
"Thanks you too. I saw some of your work online actually before I got accepted I was about to make an appointment at your shop you got some real talent. You're gonna make it far here." She tells me
"Wow thank you so much you will too for sure." I tell her
Me and baby spend a few hours in the shop. She's really cool and we make each other luagh a lot. She asks if I want to go grab lunch with her because neither of us really have any friends here 🙃
We go to a nice looking restaurant and order. We talk for a while before our food comes.
"Dude so I've seen your shop online it's hella pretty who designed it?" Baby asks
"Well me and my friend and piercer Lexi made it ourselves. So many tattoo parlors look the same and they look at little dark and not welcoming. So we wanted to make a place that you'd want to spend time at."
"Thats really cool and I know what you mean I've been kind of hating the shop I'm at we don't have a lot of all female shops in Los Angeles mines full of dudes. I wanna relocate." She says to me
"Wait you're from Los Angeles?" I ask
"Hell yeah. I'm over at permanent Ink." She tells me
"Oh I know them. That's like 3 minutes away from me. Yeah they're only ok. You know if you want. We're looking for another tattoo artist. The more and more we work the more customers we get we're a pretty big shop so we need another artist. It's all girls too." I say
