There was still a few days left until that day and Adanna already knew what she wanted to do to commemorate it. She wanted to add something special to her heart tattoo, it was simply a matter now of finding the best place to get it done. Adanna had already called several tattoo parlors listed in the phone book but none had seemed quite fitting to her and now the list was running short. She came to the 'V' section in the list and read the first add.
Vishnu Ink
We bring more than life to art.
We bring art to life.
It seemed perfect, almost too perfect. The parlor was even close by! Adanna picked up her cordless phone and dialed the number, practically bouncing in the chair when it started ringing. This just had to be the place. Hopefully they weren't booked up like some of the other parlors she had called.

The music was loud; very loud.
"JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL LIVING IN A LONELY WORL--"
The music stopped. Spinning around, Ace met the glare of Nate. He stood over the record player; one hand on the pick, the other holding a ringing phone. Sheepishly and silently, she grabbed the phone from his hand and obediently sat on the stool behind the front desk.
"Vishnu Ink! This is Ace! What can I do for ya?!" Cheery and welcoming, Ace loved her job a little too much.

Adanna smiled, the female voice on the other end of the phone sounded a lot less intimidating than some of the others she had been greeted by today. "My name is Adanna, and I'm calling to look into getting some addon work done for a tattoo that I had done a few years ago at a parlor on the east coast." She shifted, causing the phone to beep when her chin pressed against it. "Sorry about that. So, I was wondering about your appointment process, since some parlors have different ways of doing things."
Adanna picked up the pen she had left beside the phone book, unconsciously tapping it in an almost musical rhythm against the yellow pages. This was certainly a promising start.

Ace grinned and whipped open the appointment book; grabbing a black pen, she began to jot down notes. Her name, an add on tattoo, "Ouu, there are some nice parlors out there, that's for sure. I've got a friend who runs one in New York! Of course, there are thousands over there."
She had a bad tendancy to ramble sometimes, "So, Adanna, all we really need is a date and time that'll be good for you and I'll also need to know exactly what you're looking for." She paused and underlined 'add on', "Like, what your original tattoo is and then what you want added on. Oh, and where it is, too."

"Well, I work from 8-4 during the week, so it would have to be either in the evening or during the day on a Saturday." Adanna copied the address and the phone number of the parlor out of the address book as she spoke. "My original tattoo is a heart, a sort of swirly designed one, with black outline, colored in a deep-pink-ish color would be the best way to describe it." She made a little unsure face at that.
"I was hoping to get angel wings extending from either side of it that match the style." Adanna drew the outline of her tattoo in the air as if the woman on the other end of the phone would see it. "Oh, its on my left breast, just a bit over from where the cupline on bras generally is. It's a little bit bigger than a golf ball."

Ace nodded, drawing a quick picture of the tattoo as she described it. A visual learner, she'd remember what it was all about from looking at it rather than reading a description of it.
"Alright, so how about you stop in next week, near the end of the week anytime after work! We've got those few days clear, so whenever is good with you!" She smiled and nodded knowingly. Business was slow, but only because Nate had taken time off to care for Nirvana.
Oh, that precious four armed, blue baby.

"Sounds good, it will likely be Thursday or Friday then. Thank you very much, have a good evening and I look forward to seeing you then." Adanna smiled, that was definitely the secretary part of her brain talking. She wrote down the possible dates and set down the pen. "Bye for now."

Ace smirked and jotted down Thursday or Friday for next week after 4 pm, "Alright! See you soon, Adanna! Ciao!"
Click.
