"I mean. It's a little thing, and - if it's just use seeing it. Seems like - it would be nice to get something similar." He said as he looked back over to him. "If you don't mind doing that."

"I don't mind at all. I think it'll be the best piece I do today. It'll certainly have the most meaning." As everyone else, including himself to an extent, was getting random cheap offerings just for the sake of it. He wasn't a whole lot better but he was fine with that. It was small and had some reasoning behind it. "Do you want to keep to a moon or go with a sun...to be the opposite to my moon? Or perhaps a star?" Already he was thinking of ideas as he got up and went to grab the tablet he kept in his little space, in order to sketch something.
"Or..." Trailing off as he started on something, quick strokes and movements, as he worked something onto the blank canvas on the screen. When it was done he had a moth, a fluffy little moth, and a moon. The webs for his turned to strands of beads instead for this one.
"Perhaps a moth to my spider..." Any option was a play on things as far as he figured it...and he could always go back, if Kai wanted, and add in some color later on. For now though his idea would be black and white and kept fairly simple, leaving room to add to it later if wanted.

"That's actually pretty good. I don't really care for spiders." He admitted, liking the option more. "I think a star works. To complete the night's sky together." He thought out loud.
It was nice to see Kioshi reach for his tablet and think up ideas. Even a suggestion could inspire him into a eager train of creative thoughts. It showed a deep passion for his work, and he liked seeing that energy spark in him. It was evident still in how hard he worked each day to get better and better, to reach for that better life.
He wondered if Koshi had turned to art as a way to escape his home life too?

"I like the star as well. The sun feels too cliche." And he didn't like cliche, not really, the star would complement the moon he'd get though. "Ok, so star, fluffy moth and the beading." Which he could do, even though it was delicate work. He'd done fine work before, sometimes he just needed to do such things. As an apprentice he'd had to take walk ins and whatever came to him he took on...at least most of the time, if it was really out of his wheel house he could turn it down. He learned though.
"Should I get a stencile for both and we can work on each other?" He questioned, already eager to get this going. He hadn't gotten any new ink in a long time, though how long he didn't know, he knew it was before he'd changed sides though...so years. He'd gotten his ears done before changing sides as well as the piercings he had. The only thing he could remember were the fangs he had.
"For placement...same place?"

"Yeah but - is it okay with those clients still waiting out in the lobby?" He asked, pointing back. He didn't want their boss to come in and see them working on each other rather than taking more clients and clearing out the lobby.
Or was there only a few people they could take?

"I don'd think they'll mind plus you are sort of a client." Even if the other wasn't paying, he'd heard of tattoo artists doing work for free for each other in return for art as well. It seemed they did some trading in the community...he'd just never participated. Plus his boss, hell his whole damn shop, knew they were dating. If anything they might decide to watch with expectant looks hoping to catch something between them.
"We'll be lucky some customer passing by won't decide to stop and watch us inking each other." Some custoemrs had been doing that, stopping to watch, some just liked to watch the process and would watch anyone getting ink done. They were, in most cases, fans of the craft and were the sort to attend conventions and the like. He knew they had some hardcore fans and customers who were heavily inked. To see one of the workers being inked...he knew some would want to see especially since he wasn't as inked as others in the shop...though he was the most modified.
"Soooo..stenciles and you want to ink or be inked first?"

"Can I ink you first." That way if they got interrupted, Kioshi still got his tattoo. Kai could always come sometime later if time became a issue.
"Alright well be better get started if we don't want anyone walkin in and bothering us too much." He said, taking another slice of the sour lemonish apple and wincing. That was sour. Like a lemonhead candy.
He patted the table and felt himself feeling warmer. His first time tattooing Kioshi. For a tattoo artist, this was probably one of the most romantic things any of them could do.
Was this going real fast in a relationship? Who knew. He did know he didn't want the offer to go away.

"That's fine, I don't mind going first. Why don't you grab my machine and get things set how you want them while I grab stencils." Because each person was different, some wrapped a machine a lot and others not so much. He'd need everything covered in clingwrap as well. Kai could grab the inik for it and get set up. Heading down the hall he let a co-worker, who looked curious, know that he was letting Kai ink him as well. He was paying for a special tattoo for today as well.
When he did come back he was quick to offer up the stencil and get onto his table. Having to undo the thin bodychain he was wearing, so it didn't get in the way, he left it somewhere safe, and within reach, and lifted his clothing up for the other.
"Alright, time to get started." And he knew his co-worker was likely already whispering to others what was going on and it would make the rounds, it was like he imagined high school was. Once he was settled and the lines on his skin he was ready and settled in for Kai to work on him. He'd return the favor soon enough.
Once lunch was over, and both of them inked, he'd get back to work on other people. For now though it was time for them to share something.
