Intriguing short story Daniel! Grabbed my attention from the first paragraph, but then went off in a mystical and then freakish / sexual direction!
Excellent read to be sure.

Mystical
Magical tattoos, self-awareness, and beautiful descriptions, are the highlights of this amazing short story.
Author Daniel Smith has the rare gift of crafting a compelling short story. In addition to the human characters in this tale, he uses rain as a character, creating a mysterious atmosphere. By the end of the story you’ll feel you’ve visited Eastern Europe, and will look at any tattoo parlor you pass by with a new awareness.
I wish the tattoos he writes about were actually available—or maybe they are?
