Tattoo Shop AU

Has this been done before? Probably. Do I care? Not really, no.

Roman Prince:

• 18, just out of high school
• has a passion for art, everyone doubted he was good enough
• he is the go to person for big complex designs
• when people walk in and aren’t exactly sure what they want, he will draw it out for them
• runs social media for the shop
• has a simple tattoo of a crown on his left wrist and another that says “There’s A Million Things I Haven’t Done” on his right write, both done by Logan

Logan Berry:

• 19
• honestly feels like the most responsible one there
• manages the money
• some customers actually believe he is the owner until someone tells them
• he has the neatest handwriting there, aside from Patton
• the customers tend to go to him for tattoos that are just words
• has a tattoo that says “seek knowledge” on his left arm done by Patton

Virgil Joseph:

• 18, also out of high school
• he is the most quiet one at the shop most of the time
• despite his dark attire, he is amazing at colored tattoos
• he and Roman often make designs together with Roman drawing and Virgil coloring
• his nickname at the shop is V
• has the closest relationship with Patton
• has a tattoo of a rain cloud on his right ankle done by Patton

Patton Jackson:

• 20
• the best at things with small details and patterns
• great at persuading customers (usually uses it to get people to follow the social media pages)
• once convinced a customer to bring cookies. no one even questioned it
• usually the food provider since everyone else forgets
• will give anyone a hug with their consent, even if they just walked through the door
• has a tattoo of a heart and a pet paw on his right shoulder done by Roman

Dean Grey(Deceit):

• 20
• Does the piercings cause its not a tattoo shop without that
• has (wait for it…) snake bite piercings ((i’m so sorry it was too perfect to pass up)) 
• he’s intimidating when he wants to be but pretty okay most of the time
• NEVER talk to him when he’s pissed off. Logan learned the hard way
• has a tattoo of a hand holding a snake on his right arm done by Roman

Remy Robertson:

• 21, but lies and says he’s 20
• surprise, he’s trans but everyone who works there accepts him
• does piercings along with Dean
• always has sunglasses hanging off his shirt, he wears them every time he leaves the store
• “remy, it’s raining” “let me live” 
• never shows up to work on time, but buys everyone their favorite drinks once in a while to make up for it
• whenever its a slow day he takes naps. no one cares anymore
• has a little trans pride tattoo on his right hand done by V

Thomas Sanders:

• 25
• look we finally meet the owner
• he bought the place when he was 22 and had no idea how to even start
• he is super chill
• “hey thomas, what if we got a slushie machine?” “youre a genius”
• ((it was not a good idea and it broke in about 10 minutes)
• all of the workers love him (and customers when they meet him)
• he’s such a good boss, no one knows what they did to deserve him
• he was actually a little hesitant to get a tattoo at first, but when he did he got a little rainbow on his left hand done by V and he loves it

The store:

• named Thomas’ Tatts (yes thomas regrets it but oops too late its what he’s known by now)
• used to be a flower shop before the owners moved
• rated as a good place to get a piercing/tattoo, especially if it’s a first. the friendly atmosphere makes customers feel more welcome
• all the employees accept (almost) everyone. You prefer they/them pronouns? bam, you won’t get misgendered again
• the people they don’t accept are the one’s who make negative comments towards employees or other customers. Dean is usually the one who forces them to leave
• one time Dean couldn’t make it to work and of course a homophobe had to walk in. Remy had to deal with it and almost punched her in the face (he would of if Patton wasn’t there to stop him)
• at least once a week Thomas likes to have a meeting with everyone. If it’s serious Logan will help Thomas come up with a plan, but Thomas likes to help them bond and they get to talk about whatever they want.
• “yes we look alike, no none of us are related”

So yeah. That’s that. And yes you can bet I’m going to make short stories about this. I really hope you all like this idea as much as I do 

I absolutely love this. Please tag me in everything you do about it

This is gorgeous and I adore it!!!! All of them are so in character and the atmosphere seems so sweet, this will be utterly lovely! The details really make it come alive! May I offer a bit of advice though? Totally ignore it if you don’t want it please, i have no right after all. The only thing I noticed is that they consistently have really small tattoos on very similar places. I feel like at least on of them would have a full sleeve or their back completely covered. But that might just be me with my preferences for covering the boys in ink. The whole thing is already amazing!

This makes me want to get a tattoo even more now oml fuck me up I have many planned
