"She never met my old man. You know what he was like. I had to be Jon or
Jonathan, well at work I'm Jack or General." Jack said to Ed. Sam walked
over with a smile on her face.
"Hey that is brilliant. Could you do me some customised earrings?" She wanted to get Teal'c some as he had got both of his ears pierced when he came to Earth.
"Sure thing. What do you want to have done?" Ed asked. Sam showed him Chulak's Point of Origin and he said
"Wow. Yeah it will take a week. You want two copies right?"
"Yes please" Sam said. Ed smiled and took the piece of paper and gave it to the other clerk.
"Manni, Can you do this for me. I want two done in a week"
"Sure thing Boss" Manni smiled at Sam and Jack who smiled back. Jack paid for the earrings and the two left the shop. Jack made a future note to take Sam there to choose her wedding ring as they had a nice selection of rings. Sam stopped again as the passed the tattoo parlour.
"Have you had an idea for what I could get done?" Jack asked Sam as she looked in the shop.
"No not really, but I want to get one done and I know what I want. I'm just a bit nervous."
"The outline hurts a little but then your skin kinda goes numb so you can't feel anything. What do you want to have done?"
"I want to have a butterfly done on the top of my left breast."
"Hey that actually sounds good. I'll come in with you if you want. But if he dares to get a good feel I'll pop him one"
"Jack I love you honey so anyone who dares to get a feel will be at the receiving end of my fist." They walked into the Parlour and were greeted by the tattooist.
"Hi there folks what can I do for you." He asked politely. He was covered in tattoo's as well and had a huge bushy beard. He looked like a typical tattooist.
"I want to have a butterfly done on the top of my left breast." Sam said. The tattooist, smiled and said
"If you want to have a look through this I'll go and get everything sorted out." He said handing her a folder of tattoo designs. Sam smiled at some of the tattoos that you could have done. Jack was looking through as well and didn't see any that appealed to him. Sam chose a very colourful butterfly and when the guy came out she showed him. So that Jack didn't have to sit in the waiting room by himself the tattooist suggested that he came in as well. Jack agreed and went into the tattooing room. Sam came out 20 minutes later with a butterfly on her left breast. Jack smiled at Sam as she sat down in one of the chairs in the waiting room.
"Babe are you okay?" he asked concerned.
"Yeah. I'm just trying to think what you could get done. It seems daft to leave here then for me to think of an idea. Jack give me a couple of minutes." Sam said. Jack smiled at her logic and sat down beside her. They sat thinking for a while when Sam said
"Why don't you get the SCG or SG-1 Patch done somewhere? They both have something to do with me."
"No. It means if anyone asks I can't tell them why it is important to me or what they stand for. Try again Angel." He said. Sam smiled and said
"Jack I really don't know. I know that it has nothing to do with me but how about a shamrock somewhere, or the Abydos Point of Origin."
"The shamrock idea I like, but Abydos has too many memories that I don't care to remember. Where shall I have the Shamrock done?"
"How about just about above one of your pecs."
"I dunno Angel. I think that the Air Force might have something to say about a tattoo on the front of a male body as it is likely to be seen. How about I just don't get one done. It seems the easy way out of having to think up an idea."
Sam smiled and knew that he had a point. But she was going to give it one more go. "Jack you have a small tattoo on the top of your left bicep, why don't you get it done underneath that." Jack smiled and nodded his head.
"Sammie you are fantastic. That's brilliant." The tattooist had heard the conversation and invited Jack into the tattooing room.
"Okay sir we have two types of Shamrock, one in a shield and one with plenty of space beside it. You can have writing on both." Jack smiled and said
"I'll just have a plain shamrock please"
"Do you want it in green or black?"
"Oh it has to be green. Can you write Ireland above it and The Emerald Isle underneath?"
"I sure can."
Jack and Sam left the tattoo Parlour an hour later.
"Hey do you fancy some Lunch?" He asked.
"Yeah lunch sounds great" Sam said. Jack grabbed her hand and pulled her towards a café.
FEEDBACK PLZ N.B. I live in the UK so some of the spelling might seem wrong, bear with me it isn't. I could really do with a beta so if any one is board it would be graciously accepted. Criticisms are also accepted as this is my first story. Many Thanks. Joss.
