"I attribute my whole success in life to a rigid observance of a fundamental rule: never have yourself tattooed with any woman's name, not even her initials." - P G Widehouse.
Abby Scuito flicked through the magazine in front of her, occasionally pausing to look over anything that caught her attention.
She wanted a new tattoo. Something small but tasteful.
"I've always wanted one on my foot." She told Bert, twisting the page so he could see. "Something like that one. But considering I always wear boots or knee high socks there wouldn't be much point, would there?" She paused. "Although, considering there are other tattoos of mine that even I can't see, it wouldn't matter really, would it? I would know it's there..." Holding up the magazine closer, Abby frowned. "What do you think, Bert? Yes or no?"
As always, Bert didn't answer. Then again, Abby would be extremely worried if he did. It made her feel better though, so she carried on. It wasn't as if she was expecting any other visitors this afternoon.
"I like the idea of getting something written this time. Not a name though, because who could I put, realistically?" She considered this. "There are so many saying that I like... Oooo Braille. Now, that one looks amazing. This guy has his name tattooed in Braille on his wrist. Wow. I know it's pretty ironic considering that generally the only people that can read Braille are blind so wouldn't be able to appreciate it... But still. It's pretty." She smiled, taking a loud slurp from her Caf-Pow. "Hmm, I need a new one of these." She inclined her head towards her favourite drink. "Maybe I can bypass to Jenny's office on the way to get one – see what she thinks about the idea. Remember the last time I considered getting a new tattoo and asks Gibbs? That didn't quite go to plan, did it?" She sniggered, tucking Bert under her arm and her magazine into her lab coat. "Let's go and talk a walk shall we? See if we can get someone else's opinion..."
A/N: A friend of mine actually does have his name written in Braille across his wrist. It looks amazing.
