Walking up to the door of Tattoos and Body Piercing By Bob proved to be a challenge for Piper. Sure she had pierced her ears before…two times actually. But this was something different. She wasn't going for just a piercing this time, she was getting a tattoo.
She couldn't believe that Leo had talked her into this. Well actually Leo didn't have to do much conviencing considering Piper was drunk and half asleep when he proposed the idea to her.
"How about we get a tattoo Piper? Yours can say Leo in a heart and mine can say Piper in a heart or something like that. Wouldn't it be great? It would be like swearing our love to each other since we still can't get married."
Some how those words had been all that Piper needed to nod a sleepy yes and get herself into this mess. She would want nothing more than to run back into her beat up Buick and go back home, but she couldn't back out now. After all Leo would think it very "uncool" of her to ditch him.
"Piper you coming?" Leo asked, holding the door ajar.
"Coming." Piper said, running inside. She figured the faster she went in; the easier it would be.
Once she was inside Piper inspected everything with a weary eye. The strong scent of cigar smoke lingered in the air, making her sick to her stomach. All along the yellow tinted walls were pictures of different people either sporting tattoos or various piercings. Piper figured these had to be previous clients. They seemed to all be rather happy and so Piper relaxed a bit.
In front of her was a small desk with a little bell. Leo walked over to the desk and rang the bell a few times, which in tail made someone come out of the back room.
"What can I do for yous?" this short, plump little bald man said in a raspy voice.
"We want to get a tattoo and she wants…" Leo said pointing to Piper.
"A tongue piercing." Piper said bravely.
"Hmm…a tongue piercing? Okay, come with me."
"Wait shouldn't we both go back, we both want a tattoo anyway." Piper suggested.
"Ya you're right…come on let's go." He said pointing to Leo.
Piper wondered why he hadn't asked them to sign a consent form, but she figured she shouldn't ask, especially because it would make the whole process go by a lot easier.
The man, who Piper figured was Bob, took them to a back room and had them each sit down in a chair that resembled a dentist's chair.
"Okay, I needs yous to tell me the kind of tattoo yous want and you little lady need to pick out a ring." Bob said, shoving a large tray with various tongue rings in Piper's face.
"Hmm….I'll take that one." Piper said pointing to a red studded ring.
"Good choice." Leo whispered.
"Thanks." Piper whispered back.
"Okay and how about the tattoos…what yous kids want?"
Leo spoke this time. "She wants a heart and she wants Leo to be written inside the heart and I want a heart and I want Piper to be written inside it."
"Two little love bird ay. Okay so wheres yous want it?"
"I want it on my ankle." Piper said, rolling up her jeans and exposing her left ankle.
"And I want it on my arm." Leo said, rolling up his sleeve and exposing some nice muscle.
"Alrighty then…how about we do the tongue first. Open your mouth little lady."
Willingly Piper tilted her head back a bit and opened her mouth.
