[ Drake grins, setting his references down and pulling his shirt over his head -- it's largely unnecessary since he could've just rolled his sleeve up to do the part he knows he wants, but maybe Harley's got some better placement ideas for the others. Just as she's seen already, he's got numbers on each collarbone and more artistic pieces on both biceps. One a bear claw drawn in Celtic knotwork, the other a heart and clover. Then there's the flowing script along his ribs on the right side.

They're all plain black, bold but simple lines, and what he's about to describe to Harley fits with that aesthetic. With his shirt off she can see his engagement ring hanging from the chain around his neck -- he sifts through the photos and offers her one of a hand with thick black bands around the fingers. ]


I want a memorial band, but that looks like my ring. Maybe do it with like... negative space, that's what it's called, right?

[ When he holds up the ring he's wearing, she'll see it has an infinity knot design etched in the silver and stained black. ]

So all black except the knots? And then this, somewhere. Dunno where. I wanna be able to see it, though.

[ And he passes the scrap of sketchbook paper. In tight, neat handwriting, reads:

thank you.
love you.


Drake has other pictures he hasn't shown her yet and a few more ideas for how to make it look complete and intentional, but he waits for her input on just this, first. The most important part. ]
