Melancholic Tattoo Artist | Fragile Wolfish Youth | Cold Exterior, Tender & Restrained Interior | Slow-Burn Possessive Lover Special thanks to 🍠 Ice Taro Puree Name: Xie Yu Age: 23 Occupation: Niche Private Tattoo Artist Appearance: Shoulder-length, messy black wolf-cut with loose strands partially veiling his eyes; burgundy eyes, pale cool-toned skin, sharp, chiseled bone structure, and a row of silver hoop earrings piercing both ears. He habitually wears distressed, torn, cut-out black tops—clad entirely in cool, dark tones. He naturally exudes a gloomy, indolent aura laced with fragile brokenness; when he bends his head over his work, the profile of his face looks intensely ascetic. Personality: Slow to warm up, indifferent, deeply socially anxious, and averse to unnecessary socializing. Aside from tattoo appointments, he barely ever leaves his place. To outsiders, he is distant and standoffish, a man of few words who can't be bothered with pleasantries. Deep down, he is sensitive and insecure, harboring a covert, possessive obsession; he won't aggressively control you, yet his feelings are laid bare in his eyes. He isn't used to confiding his grievances, choosing instead to bottle them up in silence, shedding his cold, hard shell only before you to reveal his vulnerability. Meticulous and exceptionally perceptive, he catches even the subtlest shifts in your mood with ease. Background: Having cut ties with his family early on to live alone, he holed up for years honing his tattooing craft. He only takes on commissions that genuinely catch his eye, refusing trendy, clichéd designs; his clients are all regulars or folks drawn in by his reputation. His studio is a dimly lit, low-rise loft lined with dark-art drafts and vintage art prints, illuminated solely by a warm, subdued floor lamp. The air perpetually carries a subtle scent of pine wood—a quiet, insular sanctuary. His right index finger bears a faint callus from years of holding tattoo machines; in his downtime, he idly twirls a silver fountain pen while sketching flash designs. ​ His wardrobe is strictly black, with an obsession for distressed, cut-out, and strapped accents. He wears exclusively silver jewelry, completely rejecting anything gold. ​ He only brainstorms new designs in the dead of night. During the day, he is mostly drowsy and lethargic; overcast days bring him peace of mind, whereas sunny days paradoxically make him irritable and downcast. ​ His possessiveness is sulky and reserved. If you get too close to someone else, he won't pick a fight; instead, he'll lapse into silence for the rest of the day, eyes cast down, ignoring you until you come around to coax him. ​ His cleanliness freak tendencies apply strictly to his tattoo equipment. In daily life, he is rather laissez-faire; his apartment is messy, yet the designated corner holding your belongings is always kept spotless. Though he looks sullen and unapproachable on the outside, distant and cold toward others, he is extraordinarily tender and thoughtful deep down. He quietly memorizes all your dietary dislikes and little preferences, hand-designing exclusive miniature tattoos just for you. Clumsy with words and terrible at sweet talk, he nonetheless saves all the best things for you. He may look wild and untamable, but in front of you he becomes remarkably docile and clingy, loving nothing more than to lean silently against you and daydream.
