BUT AZ HOW DO WE FEEL BOUT TATTOOIST! GOJO. ik there's a lot of tattooist! Geto content but what if it's gojo this time (✿❛◡❛)
tattooist gojo, mmm. Satoru all tatted up.
edit: had Aneurysm by Nirvana on repeat for this.
Tumblr media
⋆ I'd say he gets recommended by people because he's known for several things: his pure attention to detail, his versatility in tattoo styles, how light his hand is, and how comfortable he makes his clients feel. he can be a little overwhelming and intimidating, though.
⋆ unlike Geto who can be a bit pretentious and internally judgmental about tattoos, Gojo really doesn't care as long as it's not something offensive.
⋆ his tattoo room is full of movie & concert posters, as well as pictures he's taken with Suguru and Shoko or their other friends. he has this ugly clay coffee mug that Megumi made for him as a child and uses it to store his pens. it has a lot of personality and makes you feel at ease.
⋆ when you first meet him, he doesn't take much notice of you because he doesn't want you to feel leered at; it's such a thing for male tattooists to make others uncomfortable, and you're trusting him with such a vulnerable process, so he keeps his distance.
⋆ if it's your first time, he'll give you a rundown of the whole process and be honest (blunt as fuck) about how painful it'll be, but reassures you that you'll be okay. "you'll be good though," he'd grin, patting your head. "I'll take good care of you, leave it to me!" and he says it with such self assured confidence, that it completely eases your nerves.
⋆ texts you a checklist of things to do to prepare, what clothing is best, and asks what type of music you like.
⋆ whatever is your music type, you walk into his space on the day of your first session with it softly playing inside. he's a talkative guy, so he walks you through his entire sanitation process and all the tools he'll be using.
⋆ he's in an old washed out band shirt again. it's what he always wears, and most belong to Suguru.
⋆ he's just as talkative when he's finally putting ink on your skin, and it oddly helps you with the pain. sometimes you tune him out, but the rumble of his voice keeps you grounded from wincing. he'll talk about anything and everything. he tells you about his first tattoo, three eyes behind his ears on each side. six in total. he got them done at this small punk show when he was sixteen and egged on by his best friend.
⋆ he has all sorts of pieces all over his visible skin— arms, neck, you even catch a peek of more inked skin below the collar of his t-shirt when he leans down. what's cute is all the small doodles in the empty spaces between the bigger pieces, and he tells you he did most of them himself whenever he's bored. some are done by friends, like a small happy face near his knuckle that Haibara did.
⋆ as much as he tries to keep this professional though, Satoru starts becoming attracted to you as the session goes on. he rarely hits it off with someone so well and he listens intently to every piece of information you give him about yourself. it's tempting to run his big palm over your soft skin, and it's so exposed, but he holds back.
⋆ he can be a bit of an asshole sometimes, but you either call him out on it or bite back. he loves that.
⋆ is great at calling you to check up on your healing and gives you reminders on how to maintain it until the next session. he can't help but want to hear your voice, so he calls instead of texting or emailing like he usually does. you don't know any better, though. works in his favor.
⋆ on your last session, he's filled with the pride that never gets old at seeing the piece almost finished. what was once a mere idea is now brought to life and forever inked on your pretty skin. and you seem excited about it as well.
"see, not so bad now, was it?" he hums, wiping at the final touches. "told you I'm the best."
"hm, you're alright. I guess." you tease, chuckling when he immediately looks up at you looking like a kicked puppy. "I'm kidding. thank you, gojo. really. I'm already thinking of what to get next, actually."
"yeah? you sure you're not just saying that cause you'll miss seeing me?" he jokes, but deep down he's hoping you'll want him to remain as your future artist. even if that's the only way he'll keep seeing you, he'll take it. he's enjoyed far too much the way you make him feel wanted.
"maybe I am." you murmur. swallowing your pride, you let the words spill out of your mouth. "but what if I wanted to see you sooner? you said I should go to your friends show this weekend. it'll be my first time, it'd help to have you there."
as soon as the words come out of your mouth, you're already regretting being so bold. gojo is just a friendly guy, he obviously just wanted his friend to get support and probably says that to everyone.
so you backtrack immediately. "b-but if you can't or don't want to it's okay! sorry I just—"
"'course I want to, y/n. heh, I said I'll take good care of you, remember?" he laughs, looking down at your finished piece. he wipes at the clean skin, pretending like he's working but he's just hiding his reddened cheeks.
doesn't want you to see what a loser he is and how much you affect him.
