Tattoo artist?

[byakko4.livejournal.com]

so I've kinda been on the fringes of the fandom for a while, and I'm getting back into it, and I can't remember where I found this one fic.  It goes AU after Justin runs away to NY, and he ends up as a tattoo artist, and he has all these cool tats, and there was something about how one night he took a homemade tattoo gun and just entirely inked his hands.  last time I read it it was about 40-something chapters long, and I'd really like to find it again.  can anyone help me find it?

The only other place was at bjfic but it's down.

I hit the wrong button, I was actually in the process of re-reading that myself, which is why I knew so quickly, that was the ch. tab I was on. ooops

Rory, was it complete at bjfic as I notice at the LJ it hasn't been updated in over three years so I don't want to start reading it if it's never going to be finished. *hugs* Lyn.

No, this was SOOOOO SADLY never completed.

But seriously, and you know I wouldn't steer you wrong, but you can read it up to the chapter it is at now. Read the last bit of the last chapter 49, it is, first, and see if you'd be happy with that sort of ending. I mean, of course I want more and feel there could have been more explored, but it isn't a bad place to end it. I've read 'completed' fics that have worse endings and more loose ends.

P.S. Have you read UNLEASHED? It's one of my favorite fics ever and that is completed. It starts with THIS ENTRY HERE (http://mohawking.livejournal.com/14332.html#cutid1). If you haven't read it, you must, immediately.
