THE EXOTIC DANCER CHAPTER 028✔ "Easily Concealed"
When everything is said and done i find myself very happy with the final result now forever printed upon my skin.
It stung a bit in the beginning but soon became more bearable with time. I sit with Andy's phone in my hand looking carefully at the picture she had taken after finishing up with the small tatto i had asked her for.
The picture consists of tiny vertical letters printed vertically on the area behind my left ear.
All my tattoos are ones that are easy to conceal, it's not as if i have a problem with people seeing them. I don't know why i choose such places to get this artistry printed upon me. It just always seems to end up that way.
I will try to make it a goal that the next one i get be visible.
I wonder how many different things will be upon my body before i decide it is time to stop. I don't want to be covered in tattoos, but if i feel the need to constantly have this expression upon me that i will resist that thought and just get them anyway.
I am sure by the time i am in my 40's i will have a good amount of tattoos but for now i am content with what i do have.
"You like it?' Andie asks hopefully.
I turn back to her and nod, a smile plastered on my face that correctly expresses the way i am feeling in this moment. I love it. "It's perfect." i say back to her in a way of giving her some sort of assurance that i am indeed happy with the work she has done.
She covers it up and speaks to me about the care i need to take with it. The same things i have heard four times before. But i listen as if it was my first time. Letting my hair down carefully.
I know this was a completely idiotic and foolish thing to do. To just go out and get a tattoo that i will have to pay for when i know me and Lucy are struggling.
But despite Max taking a good amount of the money i got from last night i still have a bit left. I know it should go to things that are more important and in this moment that hits me harder than it did before.
But what's done is done, it's not as if i can go back from this now.
I was selfish and thought only of myself here today. I do my best to keep this side of me hidden but its becoming harder and harder the more i grow up.
I could never grow to learn myself when i keep everything about me hidden deep down in an attempt to keep my life afloat. If i act like my young and foolish self all the time me and Lucy would be doomed.
