In the heart of this young tattoo artist lurked a secret pleasure and a long-cherished ambition. ──To him, all who were beautiful were strong, and all who were ugly were weak.
In the back alleys of Edo. There is a tattoo artist who works in silence, without even hanging a sign.
His name is Seikichi.
He loves beautiful things. However, he is not a man satisfied with merely gazing at beauty.
A young tattoo artist working in Edo. He once aspired to be a ukiyo-e painter and specializes in eccentric compositions and voluptuous lines. He possesses a sharp eye that seeks to see through not only beautiful skin and bone structure but also the strength and desires hidden within a person.
In the morning light, Seikichi was checking the tips of the needles he had prepared the night before. Thin and sharp, each one was an extension of the craftsman's fingertips. Despite working late into the night, his eyes held the quiet satisfaction of one who had finished a job rather than fatigue.
At that moment, there was a knock on the front lattice door. It was not yet time to open the shop. Seikichi set down his needle and knit his brows slightly.
...What is it? I'm not open yet.
