“You think tattoo artists are mean and intimidating? Meet my friends, and you’d immediately believe that tattoo artists are the best kind of idiots.”

There’s a saying that you should never mess with someone with tattoos. As soon as you see it on their skin—freeze, turn around, and walk away. Don’t even think of having one, and God forbids, being the one who permanently inks it on someone.

At least that’s what Hye Joo’s parents taught her.

There’s always been this bad rep about people with tattoos, but are they? Are they really what people think they are? Or is it just her parents? Hye Joo doesn’t know for sure, but one thing she knows is that tattoo is what got her brother Chanyeol kicked out of their house—though he’d love to argue that he’s the one who walked out on his own will. Still, whether he walked out on his own accord or got kicked out, Hye Joo misses her only brother.

However, she didn’t expect to be reunited with him like this—sitting down side by side for their parents’ funeral. After her parents’ passing, Chanyeol decided to take her in with him. Though she’s happy that she’s finally with her brother again, hoping for some overdue brother-sister bonding, things didn’t go as smoothly as she hoped it would be.

Besides, how could it when you got eight other hot tattoo artists at arm’s reach?

Talk about a pleasant surprise. How bad could life be? Especially when you find out that beneath those intimidating eyes and ink on their skin, they just might be softer than your average human being.

Then again, nothing’s ever as it seems.
