~~~~~Wednesday April 13th, 2011 Southern Pines, North Carolina. Gas Chamber Ink to be exact (Phoenix's POV)~~~~
I'd been in the gym since Tuesday to get my body back. I was sitting in the lobby. Shannon was the only one who was allowed to do my tattoos because he knew when I would flinch.
"You ready for this marathon?" Shannon asked as he walked over.
"You ready?" I counter asked. He chuckled and ushered me to the seat.
"Let's do the dates under the kids' names." Shannon said as he motioned me to show him my inner right arm. I did and he set the paper on my arm. The dates matched up with the names luckily.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Let's go Shannon." I replied. He started tattooing the dates on my arm and I laid my head against the headrest.
"So how are the twins?" He asked.
"Already a handful." I replied.
"Who are they with?" He asked.
"Michelle." I answered. I watched as he tattooed my arm. I knew this was crazy but this is what I always did. After a while he finished that up and he let me see. I nodded my head and he covered them so he could get to the outside so he could add Keith and Katra's name as well as the dates. He had done the names so well the almost blended into my rose tattoo on my arm. I tried not to flinch but Shannon stopped and looked at me.
"There is a British guy there." Shannon said. I turned my head and saw not only Wade but Randy.
"You can come back here." Shannon said to Wade. Wade walked over.
"Michelle said I could find you here." Wade said. I nodded at Shannon to continue.
"Yeah I've been working hard to get my body back into shape." I said. The sounds of the tattoo parlor were soothing. Eventually Shannon finished. He used a mirror so I could read my arm.
"I'm going to owe you a fortune." I said in a hushed voice. Shannon nodded his head and finished tapping up my arm.
"Come on left upper arm. You're crazy for this one." He said as he laid the template on my skin. It said Rabid Wolverine in a very aggressive font.
"I know. I won't let them block him out." I said as he started the tattoo.
"Get a stool Stu you're starting to scary me hovering." I said as I nodded to a free stool. Stu sat down and he watched Shannon work.
"How many hours have you sat in these chairs?" Wade asked.
"More then I can count." I replied.
"Yeah and most of her tattoos don't really have much of a meaning." Shannon said with a smile.
"Ignore him." I muttered.
"Phoenix, what are you going to do on Monday?" Wade asked.
"I'm back. It's time for some change." I responded. Wade let out a low whistle.
"You doing that over in TNA too?" Shannon asked.
"Yes." I hissed. It wasn't a hiss in pain but Shannon stopped to let my body relax.
"Let's get this over with." I said as he continued to tattoo my arm. He finally finished it and he looked at me.
"Side or ankle?" He asked.
"Ankle." I replied as I rolled up the pant leg so he could tattoo the stars on my ankle. I was deep in conversation with Wade when Shannon tapped up my ankle. I as a reflex pull up my shirt so he could do my left side. This one was going to hurt. It was actually two designs that Shannon and I had put together. He started and I bit my bottom lip. Eventually after stopping for a while to let me cope with the pain we were finished. Shannon tapped up my tattoo and looked at me.
"Lord you're crazy." Shannon said. I chuckled and walked toward his register so I could cut him a check for this.
"Yeah well, I only come to you or Ami." I said with a smile as Shannon told me how much all this cost me. I easily wrote the check and signed it for him. I looked at Randy and gave him a small smile before I left.
