In the ring (Bokuto x Reader)

Chapter 1

"Hey girl!" Kali greeted me as I entered the back door and clocked in for my shift.

I am a tattoo artist and I just got my Tattoo licinse a couple months ago after completing my apprenticeship. Kali was actually the artist I worked for and learned from in order to get my license. She isn't that much older than me so our friendship basically clicked when I first walked in her shop asking to work under her.

I haven't had that many clients yet of my own so im still learning the ropes but Kali tells me that I should do just fine. I also haven't done any piercings on anyone except for my brother Kentaro. He asked for an industrial which I happily gave to him.

Although I haven't given many piercings, I have some of my own including many going up on the cartilage of my ears consisting of gem studs and barbells, a vampires kiss pericing behind my right ear and nipple piercings on both breasts. I have gotten all of these piercings almost two years ago so they don't hurt except for the nipple piercings that are still a bit sensitive having just recieved them from Kali 3 weeks ago.

"Hi Kali! Many clients today?" I asked.

She let out an exasperated sigh indicating that it was a day full of clients who don't know how to consult about a tattoo and how the process works. Most clients like that usually are the ones who come in drunk or ask how much a "small" tattoo is without even showing what it will look like, the actual size and where the tattoo is to be placed.

"I swear people are so irritating sometimes." she complained leaning her head back in her chair  to look at the ceiling. I couldn't help but to giggle at her words while approaching the front of the shop to add some new tattoo ideas on the cork board for walk ins.

"Do you wanna go out with me today?" She asked turning to me. This was a typical occurrence of her requesting we go out for 'girl time'. I pondered for a couple seconds debating if spending my netflix marathon night would be better spent with one of my only friends. And then quickly came to the conclusion that it was.

"Sure" I shrugged my shoulders, "Where to?"

"Well you know how my family owns a club? Well I would be able to get us in for free with drinks on the house all night."

Clubbing didn't sound too bad, "Sure why not let loose for once?"

Kali blew air from her nose in a light chuckle but quickly had to turn her attention to a client walking in the door, well thats what we thought at first.

"Teru!!!" Kali's boyfriend Terushima walked in clad in expensive street wear that must have costed a fortune.

Apparently they met back at the club that her family owns and immediately hit it off. In Kali's words it was "Love at first sight". Kali hopped off her seat to jump into her Barry Bee Benson knock off of a boyfriend's arms.

"Y/N" he nodded his head towards my direction acknowledging my presence as he carried Kali in his arms towards the clock in stamper. Terushima is a body modificator and is the owner of the Johzenji Body Ink and Mods. Along with Kali and Terushima working in the shop there are also other people who work with us such as Kazuma, Takeharu and Kazumichi. They currently have the day off which would explain why it was only Kali, Terushima and I in the shop at the moment.

Finally putting her feet on the ground, Kali let go and went to organize the colors of the inks caps on the cap shelf while Terushima went in the back to go start preparing for a scheduled appointment he had, which the client would soon arrive for.

Speaking of, clients not even 5 minutes after Teru went into the back, two very tall and well built men walked through the front door, the little ring of the bell going off indicating those in the shop of their entry into the parlor.
