The print at a glance

Above them sits a tiny ceramic teacup sending up curly steam wisps between curved accent lines, crowned by the arching phrase “FIRST I DRINK THE”. Across the middle stretches an orange banner displaying the words “THEN I POKE” in crisp sans-serif lettering. Directly beneath, the phrase concludes with “THE” and a matching cursive “Veins”, underscored by a horizontal medical syringe complete with barrel calibration marks and red liquid. This vintage diner aesthetic perfectly complements the daily rhythm of medical laboratory work and outpatient blood draws.
