Daniel was at a loss. The local tattoo shop had replicated his "Urban Decay" series on a client's entire back. The sheer scale of it overwhelmed him. He felt the familiar prickle of insecurity. He needed someone to tell him it was good, that it was right.

He spent the next few days in a perpetual state of unease. He called his mother. Then his sister. He kept asking about their opinions. Their approval became a desperate quest.

He spent hours studying the tattoo artist's portfolio, analyzing his other work. He needed to be reassured that the artist was talented, that his work would be well-respected. He needed to be sure his art was being treated with appropriate care.
