[If he'd been asked if he had expected to be a tattoo artist, Gepard would've said no. He'd- well. There's no sense in thinking about what would've, could've been if things had been a little bit different. What mattered was the life he lived right now.
And it wasn't a bad life? Surprisingly quiet. But steady. Day in and day out, he tattooed art onto people. Daggers, swords, names, a signature from a loved one - Gepard had smiled as he had gotten that request - a splash of color, a favorite animal, a favorite character.
And sometimes, flowers. When he was really lucky. It was a secret, but they were some of Gepard's most favorite things to draw. He'd gotten a request involving them, actually, something involving poppies and 'a butterfly or maybe a moth?' and was trying to think of ways to pose it ahead of the consult, and there was the flower shop and Gepard Landau found himself wondering...
...what if he got some flowers for himself? Or the shop? Maybe that'll help with laying it out in his head. (Or maybe he just wanted flowers.)
So, with an impulse, Gepard found himself walking in- but that's fine. He doesn't need to be at the shop for another hour.]
