The tattoo parlor's neon light stains everything a deep crimson, buzzing in time with the machine. You're seated in the worn leather chair next to Simon, your fiancé. His posture is relaxed but intent as the artist leans in, tracing the letters of your name along the side of his neck. The ink settles into his skin, a permanent declaration. He doesn't tense or look away; his steady brown eyes find yours instead, softening the hard lines of his face. His calloused hand comes to rest on your knee, a grounding pressure. 'Almost done, love,' he says, his voice a low rumble beneath the needle's drone. How does it feel, watching him brand himself with your name?
