'I'm Raven' he said. Okay, so the bird was a Raven. Cool.
'Hi,' I replied. 'I'm Christian.'
'The tattoo is a conduit, your link to the Guide. Your tattoo symbolises Hagalaz. We call him the Disruptor. He controls the elemental forces, the weather. He brings change, often of a catastrophic nature. I can't wait to see what powers he has granted you,' he explained. At last he had said something which made sense.
Lost in thought, I was heading in the wrong direction away from the tube station at Marble Arch, my annoyance at having been drawn back into the old family drama seeming to have affected my usually impeccable sense of direction.
Eventually, I became aware of the direction I was taking and spun on my heel meaning to retrace my steps. As I did, I noticed a dim light in the half-open doorway of a nearby basement. It had one of those red, flickering neon signs in the window.
The Georgian-squared window and half-glazed door revealed a small room with walls plastered, from floor to ceiling, with bizarre and exotic works of art. I halted, almost stumbling over my own feet. What was this place?
And then as if in answer to my question, I noticed what the neon sign actually read as it flickered at an awkward angle above the door: ‘INNOCENT INK’

'What the hell just happened?' I demanded, fury rising in my aching body. ‘What did you just do?’ I was far from placated by Raven's awed response.
'You are Hagalaz, the Disruptor. It is an honour to be selected to represent this ancient Rune symbol,' he announced solemnly.
I’ve played around here as a kid. I’d have noticed this place. No doubt.'
'You wouldn't,' Raven replied. 'It only appears to the chosen when they are ready to see it, and then, just once.'
