It's been awhile but today is the day, I'm finally getting my tattoo done. It's been around a month before he could fit me in and I've only talked to him while setting up my appointment. I did eventually learn his name, it's Keith, a bit boring for such an interesting person but oh well. I walk into the shop next store to my parents and wait for him to come out. I noticed that the waiting room was in red lighting with an l.e.d lion on the wall, the rest of the room had pictures connected with a red string like what you see on TV when someone is going crazy. I sit in what looks like a red chair but with the lighting it could be any color and it would still look red. Eventually Keith walks through a door letting in normal light that hurt my eyes after all the red. He simply waved for me to come in.
"So , what tattoo do you want?" I had him the folded picture." Wow, this is actually really pretty." His eyes were wide like he was surprised, what did he think I was gonna get, a dick? I work at an art store of course it's gonna be pretty.
"Thanks, I worked on that all day before I called you and a little more after words."
" You drew this?"
"Yep, my mama always said I was great with pencil."
" Cool, where do you want it?" I pull up my shorts a bit to show my thigh.
"Right here." 
" Ok, I'm gonna get this traced , while I'm doing that Take off your pants and lie down." I nod and move to take off my pants when I hear the front door open and Shiro's voice." Keith you forgot your lunch again." With that shiro walks in and so does Keith making the total of people who have seen my underwear today 4(don't ask) at least they're my cool shark ones that look like my leg's beeing bitten.
"Lance ,hey! " I quickly pull up my pants and wave.
"Well if it isn't our favorite pizza man."
"So I'm guessing your tattoo artist didn't work out."
"Actually turns out it's your brother." I turned to look at Keith who sighs and says
"Thanks for bringing my lunch but I have a customer so could you please leave." Cold. Shiro puts his hands up and leaves. Once he's gone I take off my pants and lie down. Keith puts a peice of plastic on my leg and tells me to look in the mirror to see if I like it. It's amazing , I can't wait to see it finished. I turn and give Keith a big grin who Pat's on the chair smiling slightly.
"You ready?"
"One second" I grab 2 suckers from my bag , putting the blue one in my mouth and giving the red one to Keith who surprisingly took it. After I put the wrappers in my bag I sit back in the chair and hold my breath for the initial shock. During the process I can't help but stair at Keith as he works, he's so focused, you can see it in his beautiful eyes. Suddenly Keith looks up and takes the sucker out of his mouth.
"Can you stop staring, it's distracting." I can feel my cheeks heating as I turned away. I hadn't noticed the pain at first cause I was so caught up with Keith but oh god did it hurt. I'd never been good with pain or needles for that matter. Why did I think this was a good idea again? It was Keith, of course I've been thinking of getting a tattoo for awhile but something about Keith made me have the courage to do it. It was a long hour of constant pain untill Keith stopped saying he needed a water break. I took the opportunity to get my head phones to try and distracte myself, I go to my art playlist and put it on shuffle, as soon as I hear Beyonce's voice I feel so much better, still in pain but better. I had to resist from doing the single Ladies because I knew how much my leg would hurt just from standing. Keith soon came back into the room and we continue the pain train but Beyonce and Shakira helped a lot. Eventually we were done and I could see it. It was amazing, Keith did such a good job that I can't express it."Keith, it's beyond amazing ,thank you!" I give him the biggest grin and I not that he has a slight blush as he nods.
"Let's get you wrapped up." We go back to the chair and get a great idea.
"Hey Keith are you busy Friday night?"
"No, why?"
"I was wondering if you would want to hang out with me and my friends?"
"Hmm, sure I guess"
"Awesome, I'll text you my address." After Keith wrapped me up and told me the health care I was on my way home extremely excited for Friday.
