Hello there @imhookedonaswan!! It is I, your CS Hub Santa. I know I probably didn’t do such a good job but please excuse me. Also, I am really sorry for how short this is, I really wanted to write you a full story but in the last few days I felt like I’m dying and I couldn’t do anything.
When I asked you what you wanted you said you wished there were more florist AU/tattoos AU so I said “Why not both?”

When Emma Swan was a kid, jumping from house to house, from one family to another, all she had, most of the times, were the flowers. A garden of chrysanthemum here, one of roses there, many colorful tulips and roses when she was with that old woman. She always had flowers in her life, it was a constant thing that she grow to love in time.
When she was in prison she didn’t had flowers. One of the female guards took pity of her from time to time and it was bringing her a flower here and there but not always and most of the times the flowers died after a few days. So during that time Emma had to draw them and imagine their colors.
When she got out, eleven months later, the first thing she did was to make a flower tattoo. Something small, on her wrist, to be with her always, no matter where she went.

Killian Jones liked to draw since he was a little boy. He was drawing everything he saw, on every free surface he had. His mom always encouraged him, giving him ideas and being there for him when other kids laughed at him for loving to draw.
When his mother left him and Liam alone in the world, both boys tried to go on with her life and Killian started to draw even more. This time he was drawing their mother, as he remembered her, her blue eyes and blonde hair were in every drawing.
Then they went on the ship and Killian didn’t had as much time to draw as he did before. He had missions to complete, bad guys to stop in the name of the British crown. Instead, people on the ship saw him drawing from time to time, when he had a few minutes later and one of them came with the idea of Killian making tattoos. He hated the idea at the beginning but as time passed, Liam encouraged him to give a try to the idea. That’s how Killian Jones started to make tattoos for the man on the ship, in the middle of the ocean.
When the accident happened and Killian lost his hand, both him and Liam decided to go back on land and start a new life. And so, Killian opened a tattoo shop in Boston.
