I sat in the tenebrous tattoo parlour whilst a festooned woman affixed ink into my arms, her hair in dreadlocks and her sternum peirced. Today is the last time I would have to sojourn in this place. All the artwork I needed was imprinted in my skin, taking me a step closer to my superlative plan. The buzzing in the background ceased as the woman sat back and admired her masterpeice which enshrouded my whole torso and my arms.

" That's it, can i just yanno look at it for a minute."

" Your the artist."

" You're telling me you are just gonna walk out of here and I'm never gonna see it again?"

" There's a good chance of that, yes."

" Most guys yanno for their first one start small, moms, girlfriends initials,something like that."

She leaned back and sighed.

" Not you, you get a full set of sleeves all in a couple of months. Takes guys a few years to sum up the courage to do that."

" I don't have a few years."

Shrugging on my top I paid the woman who was still gawping at me in veneration and I propel  myself from the dingy parlour door in haste to get to my apartment. After all I still had so much I needed to do.
