You know what's kind of funny about your tattoo artist Mike tag is that earlier I was having thoughts about a happier timeline - or even just a happier moment in the same not-so-happy timeline - where Mike gives his siblings 'tattoos' by drawing on their arms in marker. I'm not sure what Evan would get but Mike put actual effort into giving him a nice tattoo because drawing is something he really likes to do and is proud of and he privately likes seeing Evan happy with it. ~Dire Kumori

For AU purposes, earlier I was trying to figure out what job Mike might get in a happier, night-guardless timeline. The only thing I could think of at the time was something mechanical/engineering related, which i wasn't all too happy with, but now I am SO attached to tattoo artist Mike! That's so nice for him.

Maybe he starts doodling on his arms/legs when he's younger, always covering it up so William won't see. He's terrified Liz and Evan will rat on him when they find out, but they think it's awesome and excitedly ask him to give them doodles, too. Maybe one day Mike decides to play a joke on Evan and doodle something on Ev's arm while Ev is asleep; he tells Evan that it's a permanent, actual tattoo when Evan wakes up. Ev is too young to know what the tattooing process is like and believes Mike, and he's really disappointed when after a few days the doodle fades away. Maybe that's what makes Mike seriously realize he could be a tattoo artist one day.
