[The Skinstainery] Room: 7134205
Splotches of ink and scraps of parchment sketches cover the warped wooden planks of a small parlor with a driftwood worktable in the center. To one side, the shelves of a repurposed bookshelf are crowded with jars of pigment, stained cloths, and needles, while a hatch-marked partition has iron hooks from which hang a slew of leather aprons. A folding chair sits next to a dented metal bucket in the work area lit by a sooty brass lantern swaying overhead. You also see a heavily inked tattoo artist.
