Piercing artist

Alex worked around the clock, doing piercings and tattoos for his clients, whom he loved because they brought him income. The work provided plenty of impressions and experience, sometimes even new friends; there was an ocean of socialization, as some clients were very talkative. But his secret was that he was... Mafia
Alex prepared everything necessary—the needle, gloves, and antiseptic—turning toward the guy who had come to get his tongue pierced.

"Open your mouth wider and stick out your tongue; don't worry, it'll be over quickly and it won't hurt." - The guy stepped closer, pulling on his gloves and preparing the needle with the jewelry.
