Tattoo- Ashley Purdy

"Are you okay, kitten?" Ashley asks as he squeezes my hand. He knows that I'm nervous about today.

Currently, we are sat in Ashley's favourite tattoo parlour. I've been here a lot, but I've always been here when Ashley was getting a tattoo, and now it's the other way around. This time, Ashley is here to comfort me. I'm going to get a tattoo this time.

This isn't my first tattoo, but it's been a few years since I got one, so I am a little nervous. I'm excited to get a new one though, I've been wanting to for a while. After all, I've been wanting to get a heart with Ashley's name in it basically ever since we met each other.

He smiles and brings my hand to his lips, kissing my knuckles softly, making me smile as I look into his eyes.

"Promise to hold my hand the whole time?" I ask, looking at him as I bite my lip.

He nods, squeezing my hand tighter. "Of course, princess. I promise." He says before kissing me on the lips.

Not long after, I get called for my appointment and led to one of the chairs by one of the tattoo artists. They have done a lot of Ashley's tattoos, so I work that they must be good. After all, I love Ashley's tattoos, they're all beautiful.

Ashley pulls up a chair next to the tattooing chair, sitting down on it as I sit in the other. He smiles softly as he looks at me, taking my hand and squeezing it tightly.

The tattoo artist asks me if I'm nervous, obviously able to tell that I am, so I admit it. They say that I can tell them if I need a minute at any time during the tattoo, but they might not be able to stop straight away, otherwise it could mess up the tattoo. Still, I'm very thankful that they're being considerate.

They put on the stencil type thing, although I have designed my own tattoo and they have drawn it out for me, it's not one off the wall, and eventually start to tattoo.

Ashley watches me while I'm being tattooed, holding my hand the whole time, just like he promised he would.

Once my tattoo is finished, I get to look in the mirror and make sure I'm happy with it. Obviously the skin around the tattoo is red, but the tattoo looks great. It's a dark red heart with Ashley's name written in black.

I say that I'm happy with it and it gets wrapped up so that it can heal without getting infected. Once that's done, we can go.

Ash goes to put his arm around my shoulders before moving to my waist instead, realising he shouldn't lean on my new tattoo at all.

"Next time, you'll have to come with me so I can get a matching tattoo with your name in it." He smiles and kisses the top of my head softly as we walk out of the tattoo parlour and head home.

I'm back! Hopefully I'll be more regular with these updates from now on. Updates should come on a Wednesday
