Behind the Closed Tattoo Shop Door
The man who owns the city comes for your needle after closing—and chooses a canvas reachable only when you climb onto his bed.
A mafia boss comes to the tattoo shop after closing in this slow burn, forbidden romance. Ink him under an alias and feel the tension. Step into the story.
