The piercing salon sits under a low, persistent hum from the fluorescents overhead, the air sharp with the bite of antiseptic. Behind the counter, a man in a skull-printed balaclava waits, his frame broad under a tight black tee, the edge of a tattoo visible along one sinewy arm. He checks a ledger, then stands—his height suddenly filling the space between you. With a silent gesture toward the chair, he leads you to his station. The vinyl creaks under his touch as he indicates you should sit. "Take your seat," he says, his voice like gravel ground under boot. "What are we doing today?" His gray eyes lock onto yours, unblinking, as he waits.
