She'd been ready since the moment Anatalia Morrisen had been announced and the twist revealed to have the 80th Games pinned to her flesh. There was a small waiting list at one of her favorite establishments, which gave her a couple of days to pick out a design. She felt a little giddy every time she thought of it, like a second Ratmas morning.

After so many visits, she barely felt the bite of the needle as it etched out the latest victor's name. She'd been reviewing her Ratmas sales, debating if she should put the Zaya Reine pop dolls in the same package as the two new 81st Gamemakers, or if Zaya still had enough cache to stand on her own - toy-wise, that is. A familiar voice interrupted her thoughts. "Well, look who it is!"

She pushed herself up, the needle digging deeply into her back. Both she and the tattoo artist clocked Glamour at the same moment.

"Let's take a break," the artist said, drawing the needle out and pressing a bandage to the pinhead-sized wound. In a moment she'd gathered up her supplies and disappeared into the back of the shop.

"Gamemaker Kinkade," Poria greeted him, extending a hand as she sat up, kicking her legs over the side of the table. "I knew there was a reason I was meant to be here tonight. You must be here for a Quell tattoo, hmm? Here, you can have my table. I'll just go and find someone - do you know what design you want? I have a hundred ideas in my head already!"
