It's a fantasy role-playing game.

DM: You are Jester Lavorre, a tiefling cleric . You are the member of the famous group of adventurers. Previously, Nott advises you to play a little hard to get with Fjord. The party choose ship's jobs to learn: Caleb navigation, Nott powder monkey, Fjord quartermaster, you carpenter, Caduceus boatswain and Beau cooper.
DM: 17. Picking up where the initial partial ink sketches were, you actually continue to fill in the rest of the upper torso. You do a very good job. You can see where the style does shift in the art, but it's not abrasive, it just continues, and it is rather nice.
Player: Do you think maybe your mermaid would want some googly eyes?
DM: He goes, "Um, no. I appreciate that, but no."
Player: Are you sure? I think it'd really make her look really good.
DM: He starts to pull his arm away from you. Orly puts his giant tortle hand on your shoulder and goes, "I don't recommend m-m-messing with the artistic vision."
Player: I understand. I don't want people messing with my artistic vision, either.
DM: "There you are."
Player: You and me, Orly. We're going to be fast friends.
DM: "I like the idea of that. Point of order--"
Player: Did you say "porn of order?"
DM: "Point of order."
Player: Okay.
DM: "You don't happen to have any sort of gem dust, do you?"
Player: Gem dust. Like a gem that's been powdered?
DM: "Yeah."
Player: Or like ink?
DM: "Oh, I have plenty of ink. It's m-m-more--"
Player: Wait, are you trying to make a sparkly ink?
DM: "M-m-more or less."
Player: I mean, I don't have any powdered gems, but I could probably powder some gems.
DM: "I picked up this technique years ago from some of the individuals that spawned from the legacy of the island folk. It allows me to instill a m-m-mighty ink spot." As he does that, he flexes his arm and the tattoo shimmies every so slightly and his muscles bulge a bit.
Player: Oh my god. Will you teach me how to do that if I give you some dust?
DM: "See, it's not so much something that can be easily taught; more that it's something bequeathed by an elder."
Player: Do you want to bequeath me?
DM: "No."
Player: What if you really like me, though?
DM: "We'll see how time goes by. For the time being, just let me know if I can be of service." He talks to you about it and he gives you an overview of his capabilities. For different types of gem dust, he can imbue somebody with a series of tattoos that can alter elements of their physical self. It's not inexpensive, and each person can only have it once ever, so it's not like you can have multiple. For 2,200 gold worth of a ruby dust he can imbue a permanent +1 to strength.
