♠️Ryan Henry 💉

After thinking long and hard Bianca Johnson, at the age of 26 finally decided on getting her long awaited first tattoo,sure some might say it's just a tattoo but if she were to get this one, it would mean new beginnings,a new life,a fresh start... that's all she could ever ask for.

She walked into 9mag after booking an appointment with an old friend Ryan after posting to her Instagram story looking for artist,he insisted on doing it since they went way back.

She fluffed out her curls hearing the low music play throughout the shop as young people from all different backgrounds sat around the place conversing.

A older lady with red hair walked up to her with a straight face"how can I help you?"she asked with a raised brow
"I have an appointment with Ryan"she cleared her throat pulling on the sleeves of her black and red flannel that went along with the black halter top and leggings to hide her hands from nervousness as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Sure ,I'll go get him for you"she nodded
"Thanks"she smiled softly

the woman walked off as Bianca looked down at her red and black Jordan retro ones folding her lips as she checked the time on her Apple Watch seeing she was 2 minutes early

"Hey"she heard a deep voice call as she looked up,his long curly hair bounced as he walked to her ,his tan skin shined and his beard was trimmed nicely but he wasn't Ryan.

"I'm Ace ,what's yah name ma?"he extended his hand as she took it "Bianca"she answered as he still held on to her hand
He stared at her for a while as she bit her lip to hold in her laughter
"Those yah real eyes?"he asked tilting his head as he inspected her features
"Yes ,they are actually,you thought only light skin black people can have hazel eyes?"she chuckled furrowing her eyebrows
"Nah it's jus-"he was cut off by an even deeper familiar voice

"Ace ,what's up man ,you trynna take my client?"Ryan joked coming from the back as ace let go of her hand gently
"Damn Ryan,should've known,always getting the fine shorty's"ace shook his head walking away as Bianca rolled her eyes with a laugh

"Ryan"she smiled
"Bianca"he grinned pulling her small but curvy frame into a bear hug lifting her slightly off the ground
"I ain't seen yo lil self in forever girl "he laughed as they pulled back"I know right"she chuckled

"How you been baby?"he squeezed her shoulder
"I've been cool ,you?"she asked putting her hands in her sleeves once again.
"Blessed"he nodded as they looked at each other letting the familiarity register.

"Well, let's getcha set up inna back before yo ass chicken out"he chuckled tapping under her chin,he took her hand in his leading her to the back where everything was extremely neat and clean,just the way Ryan has always liked things to be.

After getting comfortable ,Ryan drew over the sketch that he surprised Bianca with since she just told him what she wanted and where she wanted . Ryan being Ryan added his flair to it which she loved up until she remembered that the larger the tattoo came more pain but he gave her a mini pep talk to reassure her that the pain is temporary.

"You ready?"he asked her sliding on a single glove as he smiled already knowing she was nervous
"Yeah let's get it over with"she laughed taking off her flannel.
Ryan took her arm beginning the prep as his movements on her wrist begin to decrease and she knew just why.

He looked up at her with shocked eyes
"Ryan just ign-"she started before he cut her off
"Bianca you know good and well I'm not gonna let this shit slide ,don't play wit me"he said sitting back in his chair waiting for her to explain but to be honest she really didn't know where to start or how to explain the old black cut marks on her wrist without going over everything that happened since practically the last time they seen each other.
