Laine blinked up at the sign that read 'Eight and Half' as she nervously chewed on her lower lip. Was this a good idea? Probably not no. Were her parents going to absolutely gut her for this? Absolutely. Was she seriously going to do this? Yes. Taking a deep breathe Laine opened the door, blinking when, of all things, a wind chime gently clinked together from the small breeze. She stared at it for a moment. Well that was certainly different. A nice different.. Maybe she'd hafta talk her parents into something like that. Laine absolutely hated the harsh 'ding dong' sound that went off every time the door was opened. Even more so when a couple of trolling kids would open and close the door repeatedly. Finally she peeled blue eyes from the wooden device before glancing around. There were various display pictures hung on the wall. Both of just samples and of people who had had tattoo's finished. And there were, of course, the binders full of other tattoo options. Thankfully, Laine knew what she wanted. ....Kinda. For the most part, she could just wing it... She hoped. Finally, the white haired girl stepped up to the counter. "Um... Hello?"

The sound of a buzzing tattoo gun could be heard as she walked in the shop, just a faint constant buzzing that sometimes seemed like it was a bit louder. There were words exchanged as Kor finished the latest tattoo on the man who'd come in to see him, some blue haired guy who wanted a little something special. Perfect timing. Kor thought as he heard the chimes. He finished up, cleaned the man up, then his counter, chair, threw needles away and wandered back to the front with the man. "Oh hey, one sec, sugar. Feel free to look around." He focused on giving the man the full speech on how to take care of his tattoo. "Keep it covered for a few hours. After that uncover it, let it breath. Get some unscented lotion, maybe some with aloe? You wanna keep it nice and moisturized. Don't scratch it, don't pick at the scabs that're gonna form. You can also get this little tin of tat wax I sell." He held up the black tin with an abstract design on it. "Little lasts for hours and hours." After that was done, he watched the man wander out and then moved over to the girl. She looked... young. "Hey sorry about that. Ah, you're eighteen right?" He looked her from head to toe on instinct, clinically, as well as appreciatively. Hopefully she was over eighteen otherwise well... He'd feel bad.

Sugar? Laine thought as she watched him go through his speech with the other man. Slowly, she flipped through one of the binders, listening more then looking as her eyes flickered between the two as she tucked away the do's and don'ts for later. "Yes..." She groaned, dropping her head into her hand. She was always asked this. Without fail it seemed. "I'm eighteen, in fact I'll be turning nineteen in about three months-ish." Pulling out her wallet she tugged out her drivers licence and tossed it on the counter just for safe measure. "And between you and me? I can not wait till people stop asking me that." God damn her height. Like really. She sighed before giving the man a smile. "...I admit, I'm kinda nervous... I've never done this before." Nervous, yet she worked with hot metal all the time. Not to mention her other activity that she was involved in. "How do I... go about this?" It would probably help if she started off with a small tattoo.... She flipped another page of the binder before stopping. There... This is what she wanted as she ran her fingers over the protective sleeve that in cased the picture. It was... kind of small.. And it shouldn't take too long? She hoped... again.. Her eyes once again darted, though this time it was between the man and the binder. "....Can I get this?" She asked sheepishly.

Kor took a deep breath and chuckled at her ranting about her young looks. "I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. Once you get about my age you wish they would card you." Not to mention once you've done enough of what he'd done in his life, it aged him a bit. Looking her card over, he nodded and handed it back to her before grinning. She was so nervous and it was kind of adorable. She was definitely virgin skin, even before she said she'd never done this, Kor pegged her for a virgin. "It's alright, just calm down and breath, first of all. It's not like you have to get anything today..." He watched her a bit, flipping through the binder of work he did and then moved over and peeked over her shoulder. It wasn't hard, he had nearly a foot on her. "Oh that? Hour, hour and a half." He nodded and then stepped from behind her and grinned. "It's not one I do too often. Now.. You should have an idea of where you want to place it. If you really want, this can be a consultation. You can go off, have lunch, think it over, and then come back. I don't close till about ten tonight, since it's a weekday." Kor was hoping he was being helpful and calming for her. Ah, she was so tiny and nervous and reminded Kor of a meerkat like this.

"....How old are you?" Laine asked as she tucked her id away. Leaning over the counter a bit, the white haired girl looked him over as best she could. "...Well, how ever old you are you look good for it." Good was kind of an understatement really. He looked great. Laine gave him another smile as she shook her head. "Nah... I gotta do this. If I walk outta here now to 'think it over' there's a really good chance I'll chicken out and not come back. So it's better for me to work on what little nerves of steel I've got going for me right now." It might seem strange logic to anyone else, but for her it worked. "Besides. I wanted to try something out of my norm. And this is what I decided on." She could have picked from a great number of things... But this? She wanted that lasting impression. And this would give it to her in every sense of the word. An hour, hour and a half wasn't too bad. And Laine found it a shame he didn't do it often. It was pretty. It was simple, sure, but it had the hidden potential to grow and turn into something more. She wondered vaguely, how many he had even done. Though when he commented on placement Laine chuckled nervously again. "Uh. I know where I want it." The girl murmured quietly as she tapped the center of her chest with her thumb.

"Turned twenty six in February," he said off hand and just laughed at her nervousness. He forgot how adorable people were, men and women, when it came to their first. The last one he tattooed for the first was Richard. That had been something else. Sighing deeply, Kor just watched and listened as she talked herself into it further. It made sense though, but he always offered that suggestion to those he didn't think were quite sure. It was his job to read people. Then she tapped on her chest and nodded. "Mn. That's a painful area, I won't lie to you. If it's between your... Then it's basically just bone. If you don't think you can get through the full tattoo in one sitting, then we'll stop when it's too much and you can come back in a couple of weeks and we can wrap it up." He had tattooed his share of naughty bits, and near naughty bits, so her wanting a tattoo there didn't fluster him in the slightest bit. "Did you want it this size? Smaller? Bigger? If you go larger, it'll cost you. Smaller? I'll deduct."

"... You're lying." She said immediately, blinking widely as she looked him over again. "Did I say good? I think I meant damn son." She blinked when he sighed and tilted her head. "...Are you okay?" He almost seemed distracted, lost in thought. "Eh... I'm not too worried about it." Laine said as she showed him her wrist, where a large key shaped burn mark resigned. "Trust me when I save I've felt worse. My family works with metal, so we're always kinda burning ourselves." She laughed as she rubbed her wrist automatically. "Nah.. We can do it in one go.. I've got nowhere else to be... Unless you do? I'm not holding you up or anything am I?" Crap. She hadn't thought of that. "...Surprise me??" Would that work here? Maybe she'd be setting herself up to pay more but... It was worth it.

"Why would I be lying? If I were lying I would say I'm twenty-one, missy," he murmured, snorting a bit before nodding. Was he okay? That was a subjective question but the answer was easy enough for a customer. "Of course. Just a little worn out is all. Nothing major." Kor put on his smile, which was wide and welcoming before she showed him the key burn. Well that was.. definitely a one-of-the-kind burn. His brows knit at that and then the explanation came and he let his face relax. "Aaaah. I see. So sometimes things happen. Like burning yourself cooking. Not technically the same, but you know what I mean." He waved his hand a little and then chuckled. Oh how sweet! She was worried about his time. "No one's booked for today so unless I get another walk in, you're golden. Even if I do it's first come first serve. We'll fill out the paperwork and work out a payment afterwards, hm? I need to get you in the back so I can see the area I'm working with. See if there is any scar tissue or blemishes that might make this difficult, like a mole." With that, Kor swept his arms out towards the door behind the desk and grinned. "Ladies first."

"...You'd make a very cute twenty-one year old.." Laine commented offhandedly. "Ah.. Wasn't paying attention and I ended up catching it with my wrist instead of my gloved hand." She chuckled. "You know how it is with dropping things... s**t happens right?" Laine shrugged lightly. "Aaah.. So I get you all to myself? Nice... Won't hear me complaining." ...Maybe. Then she shorted and gave him a wicked grin. "That was the most modest way to say 'take your shirt off' I think I've ever heard... No scars, blemishes or moles. But you can see for yourself." She teased as she stepped around the desk.

"Some girls do not appreciate me just telling them to take their shirts off, so I've found a way around it," he murmured, laughing a little more. Kor gave her a bit of a wink before following her down a hall and then opened one of the doors. Inside was a mainly black room with white trim, pictures of girls he'd tattooed, guys, all naked of course, but tastefully done. With a laugh, Kor settled in the artist chair and motioned to the more comfortable one for her. "You can close the door behind you if you want. Unless you want everyone seeing.... everything."

"You'd think most of them would just think to wear a button up or something.." She said, tugging on her own shirt. Laine followed him in, taking a minute to look around before his words brought her back to attention. "Well that depends, do you feel like sharing everything with everyone??" She teased again, despite closing the door. The action was probably unnecessary but... Oh well. "So." She asked as she slid into the chair. "Is it easier if I ditch the shirt all together, or would you rather me just un do the first few buttons?"

He opened his mouth and let out a loud, honest laugh at her. Okay, she was someone he'd enjoy hanging out with. He didn't even feel bad about thinking that because of her age. Humming, he just shrugged and faffed his hand a bit in a 'you chose' manner. "Whatever you're comfortable with. Though, I'll warn you that if you don't button it down and let it slip off your shoulders, you risk ink getting on it. Speaking of ink, I'm going to free hand the design on you because with that area, it's easier to do it by following your natural curves. You also should let me know what colors you want." He opened his cabinet of ink bottles to show her and gave a grin. "I give virgins discounts."

The white haired teen smiled as he laughed. "Pft. Ink doesn't bug me too much... Better then burn marks right?" She then began unbuttoning her shirt as he turned to pull the inks out. "I'm fine with the display colors. Nothing too fancy right now." Though his next words caught her off guard and her fingers twitched just short of the last two sets of buttons. "...What now?" She asked as she slowly freed herself from the article, tossing it on a near by chair.

When Laine said she was fine with those colors, he pulled them down from memory and then nodded once he thought he had the last of it. Turning back at her last question, he blinked to find her sitting there in her bra and just gave another bold laugh. "Well you're certainly are a fiery one, aren't you?" He winked at her and just scooted his chair closer, grabbing his marker. "Permanent marker, so don't try to scrub it once I'm finished. It'll wear off. And don't worry, I'll tattoo over most of it, so.." It was purple to stand out against her skin a bit more than traditional black. That and it would fade into her skin as time went on. His cheeks weren't even flushed as he gave her a wink and then looked at the area. "Going to start touching you." With that, he moved his hand to start free handing the rose and filigree onto her skin.

"I come from a big family.. I've kinda seen it all. But I'm kinda the wild one.. yeah." She said blushing slightly as she smiled again. Laine tried not to giggle as he continued to announce what he was doing. "Touch away hun, no need to keep me updated." Even if it was just part of his thing. She realized that she should probably stop talking, so that she wasn't moving as much.
