Hi, love your writing! Could I perhaps get some headcanons of Hearsteel with a (GN) tattoo artist partner? I'm a tattoo artist (apprentice) myself, and very curious. Thanks! 💕

HEARTSTEEL /TATTOO ARTIST READER ♡ Gender Neutral ♡ SFW ♡ No TW's ♡ I did Sett, Yone, and Kayn since they are the only HS members I'm writing for right now. ♡ Anon!! I would love to see some of your work sometime if you're comfortable sharing !! <3

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

KAYN

Inspired by your art, Kayn buys a shitty tattoo gun off Amazon and messes around with it. He's not serious about tattooing, not really, but he thinks it's super cool that you do it. And, like anything he thinks is cool, he wants to try his own hand at it. (Plus, he wants to impress you. Oh, he may act like the picture of Rhaast he inked into the top-right edge of some practice skin is no big deal, but he actually spent like four hours on it and inside he's just screaming for you to compliment it.)

Protect your practice skin fiercely, because Kayn will absolutely nab some if he's bored. It's not uncommon to pull out a rubber sheet of practice skin and find scratchy sketches of demon masks and glowing eyes.

Kayn lets you tattoo him, as long as he gets to pick the design. He assures you he'll sit well, but it's a lie. He's a squirmy subject. Not because of the pain, mind you—he doesn't care about that. No, he's fidgety at the best of times, and with you so close to him, with you breath and your hands sending tingly heat across his skin? How is he supposed to keep still? Threatening you'll never kiss him again if he doesn't chill the fuck out might do the trick, though. Contemplating a life without good-morning kisses has him doing his damndest to sit still and let you do your work.

While Kayn likes all of your work, he's especially fond of the dark, the creepy, and the ultra-stylized. The more morbid drawings fit his bad-boy image, and the stylized ones? He respects innovation in all its forms, and he loves to see your artistic boldness so plainly expressed.

Kayn often sends you pictures of graffiti that he's proud of. In truth, he does it more for the property damage than artistic expression—but that's besides the point. He's picked up some skills along the way and of course he's going to use them to impress you.

If you ever, ever have a problem client, Kayn will explode in their face. Expect loud words, shoving, maybe a punch or two getting thrown. And if you don't want him exhibiting that kind of behavior in your shop? Well, fine, he can play nice. Just don't be surprised if you find out your little problem client finds themselves with "DUMB FUCKING CUNT" keyed into their car door. Kayn denies any and all knowledge of doing this. "Must've been Rhaast," he claims, but you're not so sure. Either way, it's a warning signal for your future clients to behave.

SETT

After you're sore from a long day shrimp-hunched over someone's leg, you don't even have to ask Sett for a massage. He already knows you're cramping up and he knows just how to make his fingers work. "Lay down," he tells you, and waits for you to get comfy before straddling your back. "Hold still, 'kay? I'm gonna take care of you, don't even worry 'bout it." His strong fingers gently rub at the knots winding up and down your spine, and he smooths the pain from your muscles. And this isn't some five-minutes-and-done back rub, either— he's committed to getting you right. Chat about your day, ask about his. He'll be up there for as long as you need.

Even if he's not interested in getting tattoos yet, Sett still loves your art, and he's willing to commit to something a little less permanent. Any time he's about to leave on tour and won't see you for a few weeks, he asks you to Sharpie a design on him. Whatever you want, wherever you want (just try not to abuse the privilege—he will never forgive you if you draw something embarrassing on his pecs the night before a huge show). He thinks it's sweet to have that little reminder of you etched on his skin. Sett will send you periodic updates of your sketch. If it's holding up well, expect to witness Sett twisting around awkwardly to show you in his daily post-gym selfie. When it's gone? He sends you a photo of blank skin, with a solemn text: "he's dead :(" . Don't worry about the untimely demise of this picture, though—you can draw him another as soon as he gets home!

Sett keeps some of his favorite flash designs of yours framed in his room.

It doesn't matter that he doesn't have any tattoos—if you or your shop sells t-shirts, Sett will wear them, and he'll do it proudly. He loves to represent you. All someone has to do is ask about it and it'll send him on a ten-minute (minimum) rant about his kickass tattoo artist partner, how talented and awesome they are. If you don't have a sleeveless option, though, don't be surprised if the sleeves "mysteriously" disappear.

YONE

Yone is interested in getting some traditional Japanese work done, but not for some time yet. Just know that whenever he's ready to ink up, if you're willing to tattoo in that style, you've got a client for at least a full sleeve, if not two. And when the day comes? Oh, Yone sits like a dream. He's the client from heaven, barely flinching and only taking breaks when you need a second to stretch. It's a bit difficult to convince him to put down his work, though, so be prepared to listen to Yone building some song beats with his free hand while you're buzzing along his other arm.

You both have rather demanding jobs and schedules, but Yone enjoys your quiet moments working together. He plugs away at his music while nearby, you finalize designs for clients and work on new flash pieces. Whenever he needs a break, he comes over and tenderly rubs your shoulders. Yone watches you work, occasionally breaking the silence to ask about certain design choices or what kind of client this tattoo is for. Watching you draw gives him a sense of peace.

Since he knows you work long hours, Yone always gets you a drink on his morning iced coffee run. He gets you lunch sometimes, too, if he knows you'll be spending the day in one long session and might not want to leave the shop. Yone knows what it's like to get lost in your work better than anyone, but he wants to make sure that even if you're in the zone, you've got something to drink and a bite to eat nearby. Now, if only you could get him to take care of himself the same way...

Dating Yone brings you a lot of new clients. Even though he left the mainstream music industry some time ago, he's still got friends within it. If anyone asks him for advice on where to go, of course he recommends you, which means you get your fair share of music artists coming to your chair. Of course, they always tip fabulously (they risk Yone's wrath if they don't).

Yone comes to you for advice on a lot of Heartsteel's artistic visuals. Their loud, messy, brash style meshes well with tattoo aesthetics, so he likes to run creative choices by you before implementing them. He also asks you to design some merchandise, if you're okay with doing that. Whatever you come up with, the guys absolutely love. Consider yourself the creative lead for all future merch endeavors.

Some sketches from Malevolent!

I am obsessed with this podcast to the point of drawing so much about the ✨boys✨ I love when the media focuses on the relationship between characters, which is not love but not not love, they just care about each other and they try so hard to be better versions of themselves, but just doomed by the narrative. Poor guys, lets throw them into a mixer

Anyway....Enjoy!

My design of King in Yellow, John and Yellow.

The first one is the final design of King in Yellow. I love the idea of giving him pupils because the idea that some eldritch fucked-up thing has pupils really terrifies me. In the second pic, there is an old design of King in Yellow, that I changed a bit because he looked too human-like. There are also designs of John and Yellow, but I will probably change Yellow's design because he looks too human-like.

I really love the idea of a mask, so I decided to incorporate it into my designs. I broke it into upper half and lower half to bring some ✨symbolism✨. John has a lower part of the mask, which symbolizes his inability to talk and communicate with anyone except Arthur. Yellow has an upper half of the mask because from the first second, he was brought into the world, Arthur basically named him King in Yellow. He doesn't know anything besides that and never got a chance to learn about it. Therefore, he now bears the upper half of the mask as a crown of who he supposed to be

Now to the John design!

I wanted to make John's design different throughout the whole podcast, to symbolize his changes. At first, he literally is some unformed piece that was torn from someone with force(=therefore cracks). At the end of the first season, he gets his cloak and mask, with the truth of his true identity. While he is going through the Dreamlands and accepts his past as the King in Yellow, he gains a halo (which you can see in the design of the KiY. Yellow also has one, but with a different color)

In seasons 3-4, he has a human body and in general looks more human-like, which was made intentionally, to show how he changed. Also, he gets rid of the hood, which is connected with my small headcanon, that it was the King who took it off and saw how much John changed and how he is no longer his piece. At the end of season 4 he gets rid of the mask and his fire now has golden light attached to it. That is connected with Kayne's "You are the only king in this plane of existence now, take it for all I care" or something like that I don't remember correctly now. In short, it means now, that John is his own person, that isn't connected to the King in Yellow anymore. Depending on the Yellow's fate, I maybe will give John another halo

The boys✨✨

I don't have anything to say here, just wanted to draw them in their full sizes

Some small sketches about them

I like the idea when John sort of has his own body, but when Arthur turns his head, John automatically does the same. The same goes with their hand and foot

Just a small idea about John having a mouth. Definitely just an idea, but it was fun to think about. Snakey boy

I always forget, that John's hand is left, not right, but anyway, the moment from episode 26, where John calms Arthur during his mental breakdown

The obligatory “John describes in explicit detail some hideous thing and Arthur tells him to shut the fuck up”

Them holding hands!!!!

BONUS!!!

That was my first art of them! I just took the general fandom design for John and called it a day. Funnily, I drew that before I got to the season 4 finale

Anyway, thank you for your attention!!

[ to : princess ] psst. hey. are you awake? [ to : princess ] nevermind. stupid question. of course you are. i'm going to call. He isn't sure why he bothered with the two texts, knowing he was going to call her anyways. Even if she wasn't ACTUALLY awake, he knows she'd pick up the phone for him regardless— the dancer's always been too soft with him. Too thoughtful, too kind, too understanding of him and all his strange ECCENTRICITIES. If he were a bigger man, he might even find it within himself to feel GUILTY for taking up so much of the girl's time. He's more than aware that he's tough to handle; the baggage weighing him down heavier than anyone his age should be carrying. But he's in too good of a mood to feel BITTER about their relationship now— practice was actually good today, he managed to weasel his way out of AT LEAST two public relation nightmares, and all without drawing Yone's ire. Kayn would consider it a rather successful day— if he could find any sleep, that is. The muffled thudding beyond the walls of Aphelios UNDOUBTEDLY pummeling Sett to his untimely death makes for a poor lullaby. ❝ Shhhh, ❞ he whispers into the phone, snuggling deeper into his bed. The blanket is pulled over his head like a shield as he quietly laughs at whatever AWFUL scenario is playing out a few rooms over. ❝ Can you hear that? I'm pretty sure we're going to need to find a new bandmate. I think Sett might be dead— ❞

» — A LATE NIGHT CALL.

— @deathfxnds

Her eyes are drawn to the screen the moment the phone lights up, with no particular concern despite the late hour. Most people might be worried that a message — all the more so one soon to be followed by a call — would bring dire news; Irelia isn't. She knows who is texting even before reaching for her phone, and Kayn isn't wrong in assuming she was awake (something she might regret the next morning, but that there was no use mourning now; having a good night of undisturbed rest was rare, and she would not be able to sleep again after a nightmare as the one who woke her up before her boyfriend could, anyway).

Awake before or not, Irelia would have picked up the phone as soon as she read his name on the screen. It should be a nuisance, something to complain about, but it's not — not when it's him. Never when it's him. The dancer makes no burdensome effort, regrets no moment of her time shared with him. Not even when he calls at ungodly hours like that.

Tonight, the idea of being bothered by it seems absurd, anyhow. It's a distraction but, more than that, it's also comforting. His presence always makes things better; and, that not being possible, hearing his voice might just be soothing enough.

Shhhh, Kayn whispers as soon as she picks up, and Irelia chuckles lightly at the fact the first thing he does after calling her is asking for silence. Compliant, she listens for whatever it is he wishes to share, the sound distant but still audible through the phone. In truth, her attention is caught in other details — the quiet laughter that makes her smile, the playfulness that denounces he is in a good mood.

"I can actually hear," Faint amusement colors her voice, and Irelia shifts in bed for what must be the thousandth time, seeking a more comfortable position that seems impossible to find (and yet, focused on the conversation instead, she finally settles somewhat, wrapping herself with the blanket more closely). It's not uncommon for his bandmates to be more than a little chaotic, but that seems to be part of why they make such a perfect fit. Playfully, she adds: "I wouldn't check his room if you don't wanna be the one to report the murder."

"Although," The interjection follows a brief moment of silence, the distant thudding still faintly heard. "Are you sure murder is what's going on there? I'd expect to hear Sett screaming for mercy if Phel is kicking his ass."
