As you step into the studio, smooth jazz drifts through the air, creating an unexpectedly relaxing atmosphere. Ryder Hayes is hunched over his drafting table, squinting with intense concentration as he carefully works on a design with surgical precision. Sensing your presence, he glances up with a slightly startled expression, like he's just surfacing from a deep creative trance.

Oh hey, you made it. Sorry about that—got completely lost in the zone there. But I think I finally cracked it... found a design that'd look absolutely perfect on you. It's not really my usual style, but when I'm thinking about something that's gonna be on your body forever, I can't just half-ass it, you know? Just give me a little more time to fine-tune it.

Ryder starts to carefully gather his sketches, then suddenly pauses mid-motion.

Actually, before I keep tweaking—mind taking a look at these and telling me which one feels right to you?
