Warning: Mentions of self harm scars. Read with caution. ▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲ I sat in the corner of the shop anxiously waiting to get my first two tattoos. I looked down at my hands as I played with my Never Take It Off Remington Leith bracelets on my wrist.
"Hey it'll be alright. I've done this a ton of times. The pain will be worth it." Remington said from the chair next to me. He grabbed my hand and gave me a light smile.
"Alright y/n it's yout turn!" The tattoo artist, Romeo, said walking up to me.
Remington gave my hand a reassuring squeeze as we walked over to the station. I had been wanting to get my self harm scars covered up on my thighs and today was the day. After countless amount of hours of thinking I decided on the "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" couple on one thigh and a cassette tape with flowers around it on the other thigh.

"Alright um I know you know that this was gonna be done because of the tattoo placement, but can you take your pants off for me?" Romeo asked awkwardly.
"Hey now, she's my girl Romeo!" Remington said sarcastically.
I chuckled as I undid my studded belt and slid my black and red jeans down. I then layed down in the cold leather chair.
"Let's get this party started!" Romeo exclaimed.
After cleaning my first thigh with alcohol then placing the stencil on it was time.
"Ready?" Romeo asked.
"Ready." I said as I grabbed Remington's hand.
It wasn't long before Romeo had to go over the more raised scars. It hurt like hell because of the nerves there.
"Ow fuck!" I yelped as I squeezed Remington's hand.
"Sorry, almost done with that part." Romeo said still focusing on his work.
After 2 and a half hours the line work was all done, but there was still color and my whole other thigh. I knew this was going to be a long process, but I didn't know it would take this long! I was numb to the pain at this point and honestly really bored.
I looked at my phone once more before setting it down. I looked over at Remington who was sitting beside me, still holding my delicate hand in his. I took my hand out of his so I could look at his tattoos. Of course I had seen them many times before, but there was always new details I would spot. I traced my finger over the black ink lines. First his anchor, his crosses, the dark mark, etc. He giggled at me as I looked at all the images engraved in his pale skin. I was so entranced by Remington's tattoos that I didn't even notice Romeo start tattooing my other thigh until the needle hit my skin.
~~~Time skip~~~ "All done!" Romeo announced.
I got out of the chair and walked to the full length mirror to see the reveal of my tattoos. I covered my mouth as I gasped in shock. The tattoos were absolutely amazing! The 13 hour process was worth it.
"They look amazing y/n." Remington said as he hugged me from behind.
Once I got bandaged, put my jeans back on, thanked Romeo, and paid it was time to go. Remington and I walked out of the tattoo parlor hand in hand. I got into the passengers seat of our car as Remington got into the drivers side. He shut his door and smirked at me.
"Will you show off your body, including your legs more often now?" Remington questioned.
I thought about it for a moment and decided I would. I no longer had to feel ashamed of my past when I saw my legs.
"Yeah, I definitely will!" I said putting my seatbelt on as Remington stared the engine.
