Aesthetic - Jaden Hossler

43.

Isaac was printing the stencils while Alice sat on a chair, with Jaden kneeling next to her.

He had promised to be there the whole time. Griffin brought him a chair so that he could sit.

The first stencil sat on her skin and she looked in the mirror and liked it.

"It's perfect."

"That's good. Can you sit reversed on the chair?"

Kio brought a jacket so that she could cover her legs.

Isaac went to work and it was slightly painful, but she got used to the pain for this placement. 

"Jaden told me you stopped doing art?"

"Yeah, I made it my job and got stressed to a point, that I didn't have fun anymore, so I decided to have a break from it."

"Are you doing it again?"

"Yeah, I started yesterday, just for me. I am experimenting with styles."

"That's good. I hope you fall in love with it again."

The heart was done, all that was missing were the two letters in it. Jaden was eating one of her cupcakes, giving her pieces of it.

"Okay. I'm done with this one. We can do like a big reveal where you see all of them at once."

"Yeah, I could film that. That'd be so cool."

"Sure lets to that. Which one is next."

"I would go with the Alice tattoo."

The stencil was placed on the inner side of her forearm.

Jaden, as promised, held her hand the whole time, accepting the little and big squeezes when it hurt a bit more, massaging her knuckles.

"I'm confused about how you could get so many at once Jaden."

"It's not so bad Allie."

When Isaac applied the last stencil his eyes widened.

"What's wrong?"

"You have very pale and thin skin and you have very prominent collarbones. This one is going to hurt."

Alice whined for a moment but sucked it up. She looked Jaden deep in the eyes who told her about another song that he was working on at the moment.

"I'm Sorry Jaden but I don't think that I will remember what you told me. I don't know what you just said."

"Its okay Allie. You're fine."

Alice didn't feel fine, she was in pain but Isaac went as fast as he could.

"I'm sorry Isaac."

"Oh, you're fine. Trust me, I had way worse customers than you."

Jaden had his hands clasped around Alice's forehead to keep her eyes closed. Josh had the camera ready

"3,2,1 OPEN!"

Jaden took his hands away, allowing Alice to see herself.

The first tattoo she saw were the bubbles on her collarbone that looked magical.
