Inked Skin and Inked Paper
Description
Sophia Hwang (a.k.a. Fia) is a tattoo artist of the highest caliber in Seoul. She can do any tattoo anywhere on your body with only the slightest amount of pain, and all of her designs are so precisely detailed that you would think they were done by Kat Von D (who just happens to be her ultimate role model.) The only problem is, she's not certified, and she's only sixteen years old. She constantly has to hide her tattooing equipment, and she has to do all of her inking secretly. All of her clients communicate with her through notes slipped into her locker. She has never been caught, and doesn't plan on being caught. She likes her life the way it is, making good, relatively steady money. It helps her pay for her sister, who's in the hospital recovering from anorexia. She's anorexic too.
But she doesn't know how everything will change, when she gets a note in her locker that isn't a request for a tattoo.
It's the first note from Paper Heart.
The poster is made by me :3
Foreword
Fia opened her locker, and the usual pile of notes fell out.
"Key needs another one, Lay needs one, Haru needs one, Seunghyun needs another name..." *sigh* "He never learns..." Fia shook her head at the foolishness of the man, but she never turns down a request. No matter how insane. She actually tattooed a baby once.
She flipped through a few more, until she saw a nameless note.
"Why in the world is there a note from no one? Everyone knows I need to have their name..." She opened the note to investigate.
Miss,
I am writing this to you to tell you that you need to stop being so beautiful :) Your face shines like no other, and your smile glows like the moon, even though I rarely get to see it. I hope this note gives you a little bit of happiness in this crazy world.
What is this?
You don't know who I am, but I know who you are, just like everyone else.
No one knows me but my clients.
I love seeing you walk past me in the halls, and my heart flutters when you do. You may not think you're beautiful, but you are more beautiful than you could possibly know. Your unnaturally bright eyes and your different hair draw in everyone.
My hair is blue and green, and you just call it "different". And my eyes aren't that bright, are they?
The only reason you need to know this is that I have seen the scars on your wrists that are appearing more often. The bracelets can't hide everything, and neither can the long sleeves or gloves.
Fia looked at her wrists and saw the protruding scars. So someone does notice.
Please take care of yourself. I can't stand it when you don't eat at lunch, or I see new cuts.
Who in the he** is watching me so closely??
If you don't do it for me, do it for youself.
Why would I do it for you in the first place??
And if you don't do it for yourself, do it for Emmi.
Fia stopped dead. *How does he know about Emmi?? No one knows about Emmi!*
She sees you getting skinnier too. This doesn't just affect you, this is affecting her. She can't take it.
Write me back at locker 792.
Sincerely... hmmm, I won't tell you my real name, soo...
Paper Heart.
Fia scribbled a note and ran to locker 792 to slip it through the door.
