Daniel Ricciardo - Tattoo shop

Today is the day. You had been waiting for this moment since you made your appointment seven months ago. It was time to leave some memories of the past behind you.

You got out of bed early, made yourself a cup of coffee and toast some bread. You changed your self into sporting clothes and went for a run with your dog Taco. You loved to make some morning runs with Taco and as far as you could think for him, you think he liked it too. After eight miles of running, you took a break and dropped yourself on the grass. You closed your eyes for a few seconds and took some deep breathes, god you loved the smell of nature.

After you got home you took a long shower to relax your muscles. You were getting a little bit nervous about your appointment, but they were good nerves. It wasn't your first time, so you already knew how everything would go.

You put on some loose clothes and a lot of deodorants, maybe a little too much. The doorbell rang and Taco started to bark. You walked down the stairs and opened the door, it was your little sister. "Hey, sis." She said happily and hugged you. "Hey, uhm why are you here?" You asked confused. You didn't remember that she would come over. "I just wanted to hang out with my favorite sister." She walked to the couch and dropped herself on it. "You only have one sister." You followed her to your living room. You crossed your arms and looked semi mad at her. "Okay, mom and dad were mad at me for being too late home yesterday. So I snuck out of the house and decided to come to you." You rolled your eyes. "Well I have an appointment in an hour, you can watch Taco for me." "Yes, I love to watch my lill buddy." Taco jumped on her lap and started to lick her face, your little happy man.

You parked your bike in front of the shop and locked it with a second lock. Last time your bike was stolen when you were inside, you were not planning on letting that happen for a second time. It was quiet inside, good. You didn't like it here too crowded. You signed up at the front desk, you were a little too early so you had to wait for a bit. You sat down and looked through the books with designs, hoping to get some inspiration for your next tattoo. It was weird to think about your next tattoo when you didn't even get the one planned for today.

You were snapped out of your thoughts when somebody took a seat next to you. You looked at him and gave him a little smile. He returned it with a wide, showing his teeth, smile, he looked very handsome. "Y/n?" The artist said your name and hold the design up to you. You walked to the front desk and looked at the design, it was even better than you could ever imagine. "Do you like it?" The artist asked. "No, I love it. What will it cost?" "Sweet, the price will be around the six hundred or six hundred and fifty dollars." It is a lot of money but it was totally worth it. "Yeah, fine." You didn't know how to respond. "Okay, I will set everything up. I will get you in about seven minutes." You nodded, very specific. "Dope design." The man with the beautiful smile said. "Thank you, I am very happy so far." He winked at you, what probably made you blush. You recognized him, but you couldn't tell where from. Maybe it will pop up later in your mind.

"Ok, y/n I am ready. Are you ready?" "Yes, yes I am." You grabbed your bag from the ground and followed the artist. "Good luck." The man said. "Thanks, you too." You face palmed yourself right now, you didn't even know if he was getting a tattoo too. Maybe he was here to wait for his girlfriend or to make an appointment for a tattoo or maybe he was just chilling here.

You were all settled down. Good music, a charged phone, a book, water and some snacks. You knew this artist wasn't talkative so you prepared yourself. You got some videos from your sister, she filmed Taco while he was hiding his stuffed animals and cookies. Nice, when you got back home you could go and search for all of them.

You opened your Instagram and tried to find the attractive man you just met. Maybe he followed the tattoo shop. You almost gave up hope when you saw they had more than a hundred thousand followers. They only followed three hundred people back, maybe he was one of them? You were almost on the half when you found him, Daniel Ricciardo. Why didn't you recognize him sooner? You always watch formula one when you are free on Sundays. You almost pressed on the follow button when you thought that that might be a little weird. Although, he wouldn't even notice he had more than three million followers. Your thumb hovered over the follow button again, no you are not gonna follow him. Not now.

After more than three hours of getting tattooed, you were done. The tattoo turned out absolutely beautiful, it was worth the money, the pain and the seven months waiting. "Ok, the tattoo turned out a little more expensive than I thought it would be." The artist said. "And what is a little more expensive?" You asked, hoping it would only be twenty dollars. "It will be eight hundred and fifty dollars." "But you said it was six hundred or six-fifty." "Oh no that's not true." He said without hesitation, you couldn't believe your ears. "Uh yes Kev, you did. I heard you saying it yourself." A man's voice said behind you, it was Daniel. "Come on Dan, look at the tatt. It's much more worth than six-fifty." "Well, then you shouldn't have told the lady that it was that price." Wow, lady. How fancy. The artist growled. "Fine, six-fifty please." You paid the money but didn't tip the artist. It was the last time you would come here for your tattoos. Last year when your bike got stolen, they didn't want to give the videotapes so you couldn't go to the police and now this. You will find another tattoo shop.

You were ready to cycle back home when Daniel walked out of the shop. "Hey, thank you for standing up for me." "Don't worry, it wasn't fair of him to ask more for it than he said before." He winked at you, ready to walk away. "Can I maybe buy you a drink? You saved me a lot of money." You were surprised by your own words. "Yeah, why not. I would like to." You smiled at each other. You texted your sister that you wouldn't be home soon. She could leave Taco alone when she had to leave.

"Well, I had a lot of fun this afternoon." You said when you were back at Daniel's car. You didn't only drink something but you also got an ice cream and walked for a while on the beach, both watching out for your new tattoos. It felt almost like a date.  "Me too, y/n. It was a pleasure to meet you." You wanted to shake his hand but he pulled you in for a hug. "And thanks again, for standing up for me." You said again, for maybe the tenth time today. "It's okay y/n, really. You don't need to thank me again." He said laughing.

You waved at him and got up on your bike. The first thing you did when you got home was hitting the follow button on his Instagram. You had a nice day with Daniel today, it felt like you already knew him for ages. You secretly took some photo's of him today, it was a day to never forget. You put your phone on the charger by the coffee table and went looking for all of Taco his toys. Taco helped you in his own way by running around the house putting the toys in different places.

Half an hour later you checked your phone. You had a lot of Instagram notifications. Maybe your sister sent you memes by DM, you unlocked your phone with Face ID but saw it wasn't a message from your sister. It were a lot of people who had requested to follow you. You didn't quite understand what was going on, your profile was hidden and you only had three posts in your story. Nothing special, one from you in the tattoo shop, one of your finished tattoo and a photo from the beach.

You had also a request from somebody who wanted to send you a DM, you accepted it and saw it was from Daniel. Next time I am buying drinks the message said. You cheeks started to warm up again. You checked his profile, he wanted to follow you back. Probably that's the reason why everybody wanted to follow you. You smiled, you were very happy that you met Daniel today.
