"You should get a tattoo and I get a piercing." I smile. Leona looks like I'm talking crazy. She's never thought about getting something permanent on her skin. However, today was the day I'd push her to get one.
"Ivana," She says, sternly. "Do you have the money? Do you even care about the consequences? What are you gonna get? What do you think my parents and your dad will think about it?"
"First, yes I have the money. No, I do not care about the consequences. A nipple piercing. I'm pretty sure I won't be showing my dad my nipple piercing," I laugh. "Calm down, Leona. You're overreacting."
It takes her a while to talk back. She sighs. "Fine."
"What are you gonna get?" I ask.
"Probably a wave on my hip."
"Okay."
I made sure to bring everything I needed. I had already had a conversation with the tattoo artist and the piercer previously. I scheduled an appointment and I already paid for my piercing while I waiting to see if Leona would approve. I brought extra money for her and paid for her.
"You ready?" I ask.
"Ready as I will ever be." She sighs.
