Chapter Twenty-Five ⊚ Tattoo ⊚
"Boy, it's a good thing you drew me a picture..." A tattoo artist said as he looked at a poorly drawn picture of two lines, one thicker than the other. "Told you there was no point." Azalea said making Scott look over at her as she flipped though one of the books of tattoo designs. A week ago, Azalea had dyed her hair a dark blood red color.
"Hey, Scott! You sure you don't want something like this?" Stiles asked as he held up a drawing of a large lizard monster making Scott give him a look while Azalea chuckled. "Too soon?" Stiles asked before nodding slightly, "Yeah..." He said and Azalea gasped slightly before holding up a drawing. It was of a terrifying boney creature with sharp teeth and pointy ears.
"Is this a Strigoi?" She asked and the tattoo artist nodded, "It sure is. One of the other guys love drawing mythical characters. Some people eat that shit up." He said and Scott raised his eyebrows. "Is that what they actually look like?" He asked and she chuckled and shook her head, "Only in fairytales. Obviously." She said as she gestured to herself.
"I don't know, man. Are you sure about this? I mean, these things are pretty permanent, you know?" Stiles asked and Scott shook his head slightly, "I'm not changing my mind." He said and Azalea walked over to stand next to Stiles. "Why the two bands?" She asked and he shrugged slightly, "I just like it." He said and she nodded.
"Fair."
"But don't you think your first tattoo should have some sort of meaning? You know, or something?" Stiles asked and Scott nodded slightly, "Getting a tattoo means something." He said and Stiles raised his eyebrows. "I don't think that's-" He started to say but the tattoo artist cut him off, "He's right. Tattooing goes back thousands of years. The Tahitian word tatua means 'to leave a mark,' like a rite of passage." He said and Azalea pointed at him and nodded.
"He's right." She said and Scott chuckled, "Yeah, see? He gets it!" He said and Stiles scoffed. "He's covered in tattoos, Scott-literally." Stiles said and Azalea chuckled and patted his shoulder, "And he's cooler than you." She said making him roll his eyes while the tattoo artist turned to Scott.
