Stepping through the threshold of the shop, Valerie puffed out a breath, trying to stave off the fresh wave of nerves at the thought of voluntarily asking someone to prod her skin with needles. She had booked the first appointment of the day with Atticus, knowing full well that the longer she waited to come in, the more likely she'd be of talking herself out of this decision—one she'd made in a moment of uncharacteristic impulsivity when she was still in the throes of anxiety and paranoia, searching for some meager way to prove to herself that the move to Anchorage had been a smart one, one that was vital to her reinvention. She'd toyed with the idea of getting her first tattoo for a while now, and even if she was scared out of her wits, she was going to see it through. Catching a glimpse of the tattoo artist, Valerie offered him the brightest grin she could muster (considering the fact that her knees were threatening to wobble beneath her as she walked). "Mornin', sugar! How have you and the missus been?" she greeted, summoning her usual, bright tone as she took the seat across from him. "I made sure to eat a big breakfast, just like you said, and I promise I'm well rested and hydrated. So... what now? How do we start? I mean, what does this whole process entail? Do I just get into one of those chairs now?" the blonde rambled, unable to stop herself from filling the silence of the still morning air.
