Cat pro tip:

Cut claws regularly, wear a sweater when you let him do it.

Make sure you aren't doing dishes or something that could spontaneously be very loud. Drop a plate and that kitty will absolutely leave you long lasting scars on your body, hopefully not your face.

My beautiful boy gave me a pretty good tattoo once. Other than that enjoy the shoulder cat!

Seconded. I taught two of my cats that they can be comfy up there, and one of them will jump up at the first opportunity when I'm tying my shoes or something else that has me kneeling/sitting.

The claws don't hurt too much—she hasn't botched an attempt ...yet—but I still yelp because it does scare the shit out of me every time lmao. I don't even attempt doing anything that could scare her, and instead go straight to my bed and carefully lower myself until she reluctantly disembarks.

BTW cute cat, OP :)
