Default Paradise Piercings and Tattoos



Located smack in the middle of Diagon Alley’s North Side, Paradise Piercings & Tattoos is the place to be if you're in need of some ink, a little bit of bling, or just a taste of paradise! The shop’s theme is evident just from the exterior. A brightly painted wooden sign in the shape of a toucan hangs over the door, bearing the shop’s name. The large glass window to the right of the door boasts a display of t-shirts, hats, and other merchandise against a backdrop of tattoo designs. Every so often, a sign announcing a sale will be placed in the window.

Soothing wind chimes hung over the door sound as customers walk inside. The left wall is covered by a mural of a relaxing island scene, painted by former shopkeeper Dory Dane; this side of the shop houses the lounge area. A long sofa and a few tasteful armchairs line the wall, and several plastic baobab and gum acacia flowers complete the atmosphere. Customers relaxing in the lounge are invited to enjoy a tropical fruit-flavored soda or juice from the soda machine near the back of the shop for only a sickle; one more sickle buys a song from the adjacent jukebox. The right wall is painted a warm sandy brown color to complement the mural and lined with shelves bearing hats, bags, and apparel in a rainbow of colors, all charmed to fit people of all shapes and sizes. Near the shelves are two revolving racks stocked with an assortment of colorful jewelry. The more expensive jewelry pieces are housed in a glass case between the racks. Don't even think about stealing! All merchandise is equiped with a caterwauling charm, lest anyone get any ideas!

The tattoo parlor is behind a marked door at the back of the shop. Customers purchasing a tattoo or piercing will be greeted by tropical music and a calming oceanscape mural upon entering. In the middle of the room is an elevated chair for the customers and a smaller swivel chair for the shopkeeper; all supplies for tattooing and piercings are kept in a tall rolling cart at the far side of the parlor. Next to the tattoo parlor door is a sleek mahogany counter. Sitting atop the counter is a simple cash register, bell, and a book of tattoo designs courtesy of shopkeeper Vitani Kama. Along the wall behind the counter hangs a collection of masks owned by the current shopkeeper. Please note that the masks are decorations only and are NOT for sale. If you don’t see the shopkeeper out and about, push the bell, and she’ll be with you soon!

How was his summer going? Just peachy, thanks for asking. If he were old enough to get approved, he would be spending a fair bit of time over at the Nesting Occamy's open house event looking at possible flats and using a bit of math to sort out whether or not he could afford a flat. A bigger one than he needed because of the desire for space also it would be dope to turn one of those two or three bedroom flats into a studio space for his art and music. There were plenty of DIY ways he could get that together, not that he had done any research on this instead of studying for OWLs this past term.

Summer wasn't all bad though, honestly things had only perked up with the arrival of his OWL results despite there absolutely dismal scores, and the ability to get out his mum's house into his own space for part-time work was nice. His sketches were appreciated here, though he had yet to show them any of his real detailed work due to it being entirely too personal, but some of his sketches and doodles were on the walls now along with the plethora of other tattoo options and sources of information. He didn't need that validation but...it was nice.

Adjusting the hold on the box currently tucked under his arm[, Joseph continued with his business of stocking shelves while the ONE TDK song he could actually stand played over the sound system. Despite listing along, he couldn't help but allow his thought to wander towards rearranging it and, in his eyes, improving it to fit more his aesthetic of heavy metal. Or, at the very least, a mashup with Weeping Unicorn.

Pablo Leventis HAD come to Diagon Alley with the intention of completing all of his back to school shopping - perhaps the first year that he was doing it alone instead of coordinating with Terror Twin #1. But as he was wondering the street and looking at all of the students, majority now smaller than him, wandering about... it struck him. He was entering his final year of Hogwarts. And what did he have to show for it?

Sure, he'd done decently on his OWLs which he was sure his family would argue that was the most important thing. But where was the EXPERIENCES? He'd started so strong and yet just continued to get quieter every year. He'd had no relationship, no summer time jobs, no detentions... Nothing. Just a quiet, inconsequential existence at school and then his summers spent on the water.

It felt like a shame to him. Which was the moment his epiphany struck, he'd redirected his feet towards Paradise. The very least he could do was enter the year with something exciting, right? A tattoo seemed like it might fit that bill.

Pushing the door open with a tinkle of the bell above the doorway, he glanced around. There was... A lot of things on the walls, way too many options to choose from. So he quickly gave up on locating something himself and approached the long haired worker he spotted instead. "Excuse me, do you have an available artist today?" Or well... anyone he supposed who could draw him something up.

Another nice addition to working here at Paradise was all of the white noise that came with a tattoo parlor. He had been certain that the constant sound of the tattoo artists' irons busy at work were almost as efficient as his music and it was always a good day when someone had come in to get a full sleeve or whole back tattoo. Plus there was always music, even if he would much rather it blasting directly into his ear which...well...the manager had not been keen on when he had asked had inquired.

The lack of his enchanted earpods meant that he was acutely aware of the ringing of the bell as it opened and closed, though he hardly lifted his head to peek while he continued to arrange things on the shelf in front of him while singing softly to himself. Very softly seeing as he wasn't in the solitude that was the shower. Just as he was about to add his own spin on things, the intention was interrupted by the person he assumed was the source of the bell earlier.

He looked familiar...ish...maybe? Like someone he had probably seen around Hogwarts and ignored the presence of. Nothing personal, it was just how he existed throughout each day.

"Well..." he replied while taking a glance towards the back where the door to the formal parlor was located. "Depends on what you're looking for. The tattoo artists themselves are booked solid for the day with other customers." Hence the muted chorus of buzzing coming from the irons on the otherside.

curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog

Nancy had already finished all her school shopping and had been in the alley looking for her friends to stage a casual run in ok, maybeee she was looking for Reuben for a little snog session, maybe. MAYBE. But no such luck. Knowing her brother was working, she decided to stop by the shop and see if she could bother him for just a bit. Unless he was super busy, in which case she'd definitely just leave him be. She was a considerate sister like that.

She found the tattoo parlor to be a bit of an odd place for Joseph - at first. After thinking about it, though, she figured this was probably the perfect place for him to get a summer job, after the music store of course. He was always artsy, she'd seen his supplies in his room, even if she never really SAW anything that he'd drawn. Even if he wasn't doing the tattooing himself he probably enjoyed it. She had a feeling people with similar ~vibes~ to him hung out here all the time.

What exactly was his vibe? Uh. Moody. Quiet. Liked loud music. She didn't push him to get more info, as she knew everyone else in their family did that. She just sat back and let him...do his thing. It was better that way. She'd seen how moody he got around his twin. She had zero desire to have that kind of relationship with her older brother. She had tried in the past, not gotten anywhere, and learned from her mistake and just backed off most of the time. Still, as she got older now, she felt she understood him just a bit better, and wanted to work on getting to know him better. He was her BROTHER, after all.

She slipped in and waited for him to finish helping the customer ahead of her before she walked up to him and grinned. "How much trouble would you get in with mum if you let me get my belly button pierced?" she teased. She was kidding of course. She had zero intention of getting anything pierced any time soon, and also she'd never do that to her big bro and have him risk his job like that!

There were a hundred reasons why Bowie should probably not be thinking about getting a new tattoo and yet here he was lingering around the door and contemplating whether to step in. The most important reason being that he should be investing his money into savings in order to move out of the tiny rundown studio flat he called home and find somewhere bigger whose wallpaper wasn’t peeling off the wall and where mould wasn’t gathering on the poorly glazed windows.

Preferably somewhere with soundproofing and he could play his guitar and keyboard and sing as loudly as he wanted without the downstairs neighbours banging on his floor with their broom handle. Such were the issues of trying to afford rent in London.

He should move on and just grab the quick bite to eat he was hoping for in between sessions at the studio and yet hesitate he did. The long haired blonde’s eyes lingering on the designs on the wall as if he didn’t already have an idea of what he wanted.

Was walking down Diagon Alley with three scoops of ice cream on a cone in one hand and a few shopping bags in the other hand the wisest decision Micaiah had ever made?

No, maybe not.

But sometimes a woman needed her ice cream, okay? And sometimes she didn't make the best decisions after a long shift at St. Mungo's. But she needed to shop for these presents now, while her sister Celia was watching Abigail, or she'd never get a chance to. And if she wanted enough energy to accomplish that task, she needed ice cream.

Did most people opt for something like coffee in this situation, especially considering it was cold outside? Maybe. But ice cream was more fun!! Let us live, Raxion!!! (Because of course all the hypothetical questioning of her decisions always sounded like her brother.)

But it was at that moment, as she passed by the tattoo parlor, a group of overly rambunctious kids were shoving their way through the crowd - the crowd including her.

With a startled squeak, she lost her grip on the bags and stumbled in the direction of a long-haired man, ice cream smushing into her coat - and a little bit of the ice cream might've flown toward the unfortunate man if he did not move in time.

Bowie wasn’t one to judge anyone for their preferences in edible delights anyway. If he fancied an ice cream in the middle of a bleak winter then so be it. With that being said, it was an espresso that he held in his hands warming up his fingers which of course he didn’t have gloves on because that would be sensible. His jumper was also full of holes but it WAS his favourite and he didn’t have the heart to get rid of it quite yet.

The point was that despite hearing the squeak, Bowie was unable to duck out of the way before a scoop of ice cream flew in his direction and landed directly on the front of said sweater. Thankfully, for the woman mostly, the long haired man had the heart of a Golden Retriever and there wasn’t an inch of annoyance in his expression as he glanced over at her. “I love ice cream but I’d rather it in my mouth than on me” he chuckled watching as the ice cream plopped onto the ground in the doorway of the tattoo parlour before attempting to wipe off any remainder with his sleeve.

In true London style, it didn’t take long for the area to become swarmed with overly confident pigeons hoping for a tasty snack. “Look at all those chickens..” he laughed to himself, replicating the old meme from that muggle site Vine from literally a century ago. Bowie did like things old school sometimes and was pretty switched on with the muggle world but often forgot that others.. weren’t so much resulting in him looking a little foolish at times.

Not that he really cared.

Having already bought everything she needed for her second year at Hogwarts, Sloane had come to Diagon Alley today for one reason and one reason only. To get a piercing. Granted, she needed consent from a parent or guardian but that wouldn’t stop her. She’d find a way, even if she had to somehow acquire an aging potion and then get one. She also wanted a tattoo but figured that Faith and Zoryn would actually kill her if she came back with one. Well, Zoryn would be impressed but Faith would kill her or be disappointed which was worse. Either way, that was off the table for now.


Feigning interest in the t-shirts and hats, Sloane’s eyes quickly roamed around the shop to see if she knew anyone in there because if she did, then there was zero chance of her plan coming off. She was after all, just twelve years old and despite looking older than her age, there was little chance they wouldn’t check her age or tell her she needs a guardian. Then again, if she just entered with enough confidence, maybe she could simply blag her way into getting her nose pierced.


Wearing a pair of ripped black jeans and a t-shirt from some punk wrock band she’d never heard of, Sloane moved off to the side of the entrance and pulled out a small pouch of coins. After all, getting turned away because she didn't have enough money was far more embarrassing than getting turned away because you were too young.

With a birthday at the end of summer - or, rather, at the start of term - now was the time for Charlie to start listing those things he wanted so he could get them for free, rather than some other way. Thing was, he didn't really know what he wanted, but he also didn't want to get anything he didn't want... though he supposed there was always trading up or selling on.

Anyway. He'd come to Paradise to check out the merchandise, like the clothing, maybe the earrings - him having had one ear pierced for some time - but he didn't think the place would have much promise. The things he knew he wanted, he'd have to get through his older sibling, because his parents had all these ideas about what was or wasn't suitable for a boy of just-turning-thirteen.

But Charlie only reached the spot just inside of the doors when his attention was diverted, his eyes instead finding a familiar face; a face he knew from school, and one that belonged to a girl in his year.

"You've ripped your jeans," he observed, by way of greeting, though with heavy implication that he knew full well it was part of some kind of fashion, or whatever. Not one he'd really thought applied to her, based on what - admittedly little - he knew of Sloane Knott so far.

The coins, predictably, were all there. With a small sigh, she cast one glance at the shop, ready to move onto her next stop. Coming back with a better plan than just trying to blag her way into getting her nose pierced seemed like the smarter move. As she was about to move on however, a somewhat familiar face stepped into her peripherals and spoke to her.

With the smallest hint of a smile, Sloane looked down at her ripped jeans and shrugged ever-so-slightly, playing off her ripped clothes. “I hadn’t actually noticed. Thanks for letting me know,” the sarcasm in her tone matching his. The rips in her jeans weren’t obnoxiously large or particularly revealing, unless you counted showing ones knee caps as uncouth.

Unsurprisingly, Sloane knew very little about Charlie Upstead, although that may have had something to do with the fact that she was about as social as a bear in the winter. Noticing that he was about to go into Paradise Piercings & Tattoos, however, and the fact that he had a piercing, Sloane ventured out of her den and into the cold that was socially interacting with someone you barely know.

“You’ve got your ear pierced. Did they ask you for your age when you got it done?” If he didn’t get asked for his age, there may yet be hope for her.

His jumper was also full of holes but it WAS his favourite and he didn’t have the heart to get rid of it quite yet.

The point was that despite hearing the squeak, Bowie was unable to duck out of the way before a scoop of ice cream flew in his direction and landed directly on the front of said sweater. Thankfully, for the woman mostly, the long haired man had the heart of a Golden Retriever and there wasn’t an inch of annoyance in his expression as he glanced over at her. “I love ice cream but I’d rather it in my mouth than on me” he chuckled watching as the ice cream plopped onto the ground in the doorway of the tattoo parlour before attempting to wipe off any remainder with his sleeve.

In true London style, it didn’t take long for the area to become swarmed with overly confident pigeons hoping for a tasty snack. “Look at all those chickens..” he laughed to himself, replicating the old meme from that muggle site Vine from literally a century ago. Bowie did like things old school sometimes and was pretty switched on with the muggle world but often forgot that others.. weren’t so much resulting in him looking a little foolish at times.

Not that he really cared.
She asked for one thing, to eat some ice cream, and she couldn't even have that. Instead she was tripping like some clumsy female protagonist of a romantic comedy and losing her ice cream entirely. What luck she had.

Though maybe it was looking up, since the man whose sweater was an unfortunate victim of the flying ice cream didn't seem upset at all. In fact, he seemed to be pretty good-humored about it, all things considered. Some people probably wouldn't be, and even though Micaiah enjoyed a good argument every now and then, she really wasn't in the mood for one today. So she was grateful for that. "Sorry, I'll try to aim for your mouth next time," she joked, offering a smile.

She brushed some of the ice cream off her own coat, amused by the pigeons already gathering. They never missed a beat, did they? They... Hmm? Chickens? But they were just pigeons. Right? Micaiah scanned them quickly, just to be certain there wasn't a stray chicken in the mix - sometimes you never knew with the wizarding world - before asking, "Chickens?" What did he mean? Clearly there was something she was missing.

As she was about to move on however, a somewhat familiar face stepped into her peripherals and spoke to her.

With the smallest hint of a smile, Sloane looked down at her ripped jeans and shrugged ever-so-slightly, playing off her ripped clothes. “I hadn’t actually noticed. Thanks for letting me know,” the sarcasm in her tone matching his. The rips in her jeans weren’t obnoxiously large or particularly revealing, unless you counted showing ones knee caps as uncouth.

Unsurprisingly, Sloane knew very little about Charlie Upstead, although that may have had something to do with the fact that she was about as social as a bear in the winter. Noticing that he was about to go into Paradise Piercings & Tattoos, however, and the fact that he had a piercing, Sloane ventured out of her den and into the cold that was socially interacting with someone you barely know.

“You’ve got your ear pierced. Did they ask you for your age when you got it done?” If he didn’t get asked for his age, there may yet be hope for her.
"Funny thing to not notice. You'd think you'd get breezy knees," Charlie remarked, but then glanced up at the sky and added, "Suppose it's too nice out for that."

Again. Still. He was not being entirely serious, and yet not entirely sarcastic either. Sarcasm was one of those weird ones; Charlie could dole it out in great spades and using the sharpest wit, but he didn't necessarily catch it when another person had kicked the sarcasm into gear. Probably there was something to that, but he shrugged it off as something more worth his attention on some other day. Today it was obviously a mutual thing.

"Oh. Yeah." The ear piercing. "I didn't get it done here. I got Des to do it." Des being his niece or nephew or whatever the non-corny word was for the gender-incongruents of the world. Either way, with Des being in their year too - only in Ravenclaw - Sloane was likely to at least know of them. "Dad went spare, but apparently only because he'd have taken me to get it done properly if I'd asked." He gave a subtle roll of the eyes. Like, pull the other one. It's got bells on.

All this to say he couldn't really answer Sloane's question at all. After a moment of consideration, though, Charlie added: "Des didn't ask my age, if that helps." Though of course he already figured it did not. But then Charlie gave his most innocent little smile, with just the hint of shrewdness behind it. "Give it a shot. Nothing to lose, right?"

Sloane observed the boy, listening to his words carefully as she always did with anyone who tried to talk to her, but couldn’t help but wonder if he was being serious. “What can I say, I’m not the most observant of people,” a completely opposite statement to her actual body language. “Nothing gets past you though, does it?” her dry sense of humour on full display now. More often than not, this got her in trouble but any criticism or trouble she got into, so far, had been unsuccessful in halting her sass.

It took Sloane a moment to catch up to what exactly Charlie was saying, but she did eventually manage to figure out who he was referring to. “Des pierced your ears?” she repeated, more to herself than anything else as she considered letting someone her own age pierce her ears. “I guess if I were to let someone at school pierce my nose, it would solve several of my problems,” although after she’d pierced Etta’s last year, she was reluctant to let anyone near hers that wasn’t a professional. “I think my guardian’s would also not be happy,” although if she was being truthful, she couldn’t be sure. Zoryn actually might actually be impressed.

The fact that Des didn’t ask his age didn’t make a difference, unless he was suggesting that she go and let Des pierce her nose too, which would make a little more sense. Surely there was more to piercing a nose than someone’s ears though? Either way, she wasn’t about to let Des near her nose, for now at least. Neither was she about to walk into the shop and just wing it. It just didn’t seem the smart play here, no matter how innocently Charlie Upstead smiled at her. She returned his innocent smile with a wide, very un-sloane-like smile. “I think I’ll take a pass, thanks. Don’t want to blow my one chance to get my nose pierced, after all. Don’t let me stop you from going in and…I’m sorry, what are you here for?” If he was going to buy something, surely he could scope out the place and provide her with some recon. She could go in herself by why do that when someone else could do it for her, after all.

Bowie, thankfully for the woman, was not the kind to hold a grudge. Despite the unfortunate situation with his jumper, a tumbling ice cream certainly made for a decent ice breaker when it came to conversation. To be honest Bowie wasn’t sure he was even capable of starting an argument, he’d back away before that situation even arose. “I’d appreciate that, free ice cream and all” he chuckled. You could take the man out of the seaside town but that wouldn’t stop him from having an affinity to the popular seaside treat.

Only once the majority of the stain was removed from his jumper did he look up to see the confused expression on his companion's face. It took him a second to acknowledge what he had said that was so puzzling. “OH!” he laughed rubbing the back of his neck trying to think of how he was going to explain this one. “It’s from a meme.. a muggle joke sort of thing.” He never was the best at explaining things.

While it was disappointing that she didn't get to enjoy the ice cream she was looking forward to, Micaiah was glad that at least she got a pleasant conversation out of it. She did enjoy meeting new people outside of work, especially since she didn't often have time for it these days. Who knew losing ice cream could sometimes be a good thing? She chuckled. "You'll have to let me know what your favorite flavor is so I'll know for next time."

Oh, the chicken thing was a meme... Her younger sister showed her things like that, but she didn't recall one that related to chickens. Or pigeons? But it was possible she had, and Micaiah just didn't remember, considering how many her sister had probably shown her over the years. She smiled. "Oh, I see. I guess I haven't seen that one."

Did Bowie even have a favourite flavour? Just so long it wasn’t one of those odd combinations that Florean’s favoured. “I can’t say I’m a fan of the savoury flavours and I wouldn’t go near the ‘Brave of Heart’ menu. Do you reckon anyone has actually ordered Troll Bogey unironically?” Perhaps as a dare but never because they truly liked it, right?

What an odd conversation the pair was having. Not that it was unusual for Bowie to be locked in a discussion that could be considered out of the ordinary. He’d been described as a bit of an airhead before, not because he was stupid but because he was the sort who could become distracted easily or whose enthusiasm made him seem a little.. aloof.

Case in point, his random muttering of a muggle meme from decades ago. “Sorry that was a bit..” He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, his fingers lacing their way through his long blonde hair as he did so. “..I sometimes say things before I think about it and then remember that not everyone’s brains work in the same way as mine does.” The chuckle that escaped his lips was quite musical.

She supposed she couldn't blame him for having a difficult time deciding on one particular favorite flavor. There were so many good ones out there, and sometimes one sounded really good one day, and then the next day, another one was a better fit. But there were definitely some that were more unpleasant than others. "I can't imagine anyone has," Micaiah said with a laugh, "but maybe? I'd like to meet the person who does if they're out there." They must be an awfully interesting and strange person to genuinely like something such as the troll bogey flavor.

But then he was being apologetic about the meme joke, and Micaiah shook her head with a smile. "Nothing wrong with speaking your mind! That's how we learn something new, right?" She learned a new meme! Even if she didn't fully get the joke, it was something she could look up later, but she wouldn't have known about it at all if it'd never been mentioned.

Maybe there were those who did enjoy the weird flavours that Florean’s offered and who was Bowie to judge them for their choices? “You’d have to consume a lot of ice cream if you want to sit around and wait for that one guy.” Or gal but he was hedging his bets on the former.

It wasn’t that Bowie was ‘speaking his mind’ as such but rather he had an innate ability to just.. talk. It was usually at such a rate that others found it difficult to keep up and it often went on a tangent or two before wrapping back full circle to the original point. He could never be faulted for his friendliness, he’d been pretty famous for it at school. He was one of those floater types who didn’t belong in a particular social circle but who enjoyed being in company of several. He wasn’t the best student either when it came to academics, he favoured the artistic side of his personality. It was no wonder he had been described as a Golden Retriever.

“Sorry! Sorry..” He apologised again for seemingly no reason. He had a habit of saying sorry even when the fault didn’t lie with him. “Yes I guess so. My Mum always used to tell me off for speaking too much though, I must have some internal guilt over not being able to shut up” he chuckled lightly. “Or for making a comment which doesn’t exactly fit the situation and making myself look a fool because of it.” He twisted his long hair into a bun on top his head, securing it with one of the elastics he always kept on his wrist alongside a multitude of random bracelets from various music events around the world. Messing with his hair had often been a distraction for him when he was being particularly awkward.

"Not the worst way to spend my time," she replied with a grin. Not that Micaiah had the time these days to actually commit to something like that. But if she did? Sign her up. She'd happily eat ice cream all the time. "Especially if I have a friend to join me." Maybe that could be him in this hypothetical scenario. Even with all the ice cream, it would get boring after awhile if she had no one to talk to while waiting.

She frowned a little at the thought of his mother telling him off for something as minor, in her opinion, as talking too much. But then again, she'd gotten in her fair share of trouble with her parents in the past. Not to mention her overprotective brother who liked to lecture her too. So, in some way, she could relate. "Well, I don't think you're a fool," she said, observing as he tied his hair up. "And I'm glad you told me about the chicken meme. Makes me feel like I'm back at Hogwarts again or something." Even if memes were more of a Muggle thing technically, but kids of all ages and magical abilities had silly little inside jokes and trends that didn't always make sense to others.

Bowie would likely be more than happy to spend his free time consuming copious amounts of ice cream to spot the strange individual who chose to order from the Brave of Heart menu and yet it would likely be a terrible idea to do so. He already acted like an excitable child in a candy shop without the need to add plentiful sugar to the occasion. Perhaps he would have to explore the sugar free options for once in his life to avoid a disaster. “I suppose I could force myself to volunteer as tribute” he joked, laughing so brightly as to show his perfect pearly whites.

It wasn’t a ‘telling off’ in the literal sense as in shouting. It was more of a gentle warning that others didn’t like it when they were overwhelmed by a then young boy who had far much to say for his age. He had a close relationship with his family otherwise.

“Thank you” he responded to the compliment, rubbing the back of his neck where those annoying baby hairs sprung out from under his man bun. Bowie wasn’t completely lacking in self-awareness to the extent that he didn’t know how awkward and clumsy and quite frankly dog-like his energy was but it also wasn’t something that he particularly wanted to change about himself. “I strive to entertain.. or educate rather” The blonde chuckled. Yes there were topics that perhaps he could talk about that might have been more interesting than a very old muggle meme but there was also no need for such a conversation right now.
