Prompt: Tattoo artist AU


Every morning when she opened her shop doors, Helen caught the eye of the florist next to her doing the same: he was quite handsome in his tailored suits, with spiky brown hair and an infectious grin that always made Helen start her day with a smile.

Helen smiled, leaning over and taking his hand, saying, "No, you don't - you want a drink, and I know just the place."
