Chapter 5: NATHAN'S TATTOO SHOP

Chapter 5: NATHAN'S TATTOO SHOP
---------------------------------------
The tattoo shop had large a sign above it, "NATHAN'S TATTOO SHOP" I walked in as the smell of stale cigarettes filled my nose.

"ANTHONY!"
I yelled when I saw that the front seemed empty.
"MÍGUEL!"
I heard as a tall blue eyed guy walked out and did the guy handshake with me.
(A/N: you know when guys do that thing where they grab each other's hand and then with the other arm hug them? yeah, that.~Rosee)

My best friend Anthony is quite the looker and not in a gay way of course. He has a tall, strong frame; light brown, scruffy hair; and bright blue eyes. He has a slight build with a few tattoos and two piercings on each ear. Girls can't help but swoon. People may call him a punk, or whatever, but he is honestly pretty chill. Me and him have been friends since I came to America. He always has a free period in the morning, So he works here.

"So, you've finally decided to come by." he said.
"Yeah, actually, I want a tattoo." I replied.
"NO WAY! The good-boy Míguel is getting a tattoo!"
"I'm not a good boy anymore."
"I can see. Well, let me just finish up with Philip over here."

As soon as he said that a tall, slightly muscular guy walked out of the tattooing room. He has shoulder- length, chestnut colored hair and jade colored eyes. He's shirtless and wearing black skinny jeans. His chest and arms are covered with tattoos, the newest evident by it's redness.

"I love it Anthony, Thank you so much!" He said.
"You're welcome. Let's just go bandage you up."
A few minutes later he came back out with a black shirt on.
He payed Anthony and turned to me.

"Hey, I'm Philip."
"Hey man, it's Míguel."
We did the guy handshake and then he said,
"I recognize you.......do you go to New West High?"
"Yeah, I'm a junior."
"Cool, Senior."
With that he turned, waved, and walked out of the shop.

I turned to Anthony.
"What would the famous Míguel Gonzalez like?"
I took a deep breath and began,
"As you know, I moved here from Mexico a few months ago. About a month after me and my family moved, my grandfather died. He and I were extremely close and his death was and still is extremely hard for me to cope with. He was Arabic. I want his name, Walter, written in Arabic on my chest."
''Wow, that's some deep stuff. Alright, come on back."

He led me inside the room where they do the tattoos.
"Do you have a piece of paper with his name in Arabic on it?" "Yeah."
I handed him the folded up piece of paper that I had in my black leather jacket's pocket.
Anthony grabbed the paper and turned it around a few times, "Is this upside down?"
He asked holding it right-side-up.

I chuckled.
"No. You're holding it right."
"Okay then. Let's go to the back so I can ink you up."
Anthony said with a mischievous smile. I laughed as I followed him to the back of the shop where he does the tattoos and piercings.

"Before we do anything, where do you want your tattoo?" Anthony asked. I lifted up my shirt revealing my toned stomach and pointed at the top right side of my chest.
"Here."
"Okay man, just sit down right here and I'll clean all the supplies and sketch it out so I can trace it onto you."
With that Anthony ran out of the room to the front of the shop. I sat down on the chair and pulled out my iPhone. I sent Hazel and Ella a quick text in a group message.

'Hey I'm not gonna be able to pick you guys up. I'm kind of busy right now and I don't think I really want to pick you guys up. Find a ride or something. Maybe that new girl... Rose?'

I locked my phone as I heard Anthony walk in with a whole bunch of supplies in his arms.
"Ok let's get started, first off I need you to remove your shirt. I can sterilize the area so you don't get infected or anything."
I removed my shirt and sat down.

He then started to prepare my chest for the tattoo.
Then, once he was done preparing he spoke,
"So, I just traced the lettering you gave me, and now it's ready to go on you."
I looked at the paper and I felt a smile spread onto my lips.

"This is exactly what I wanted. I'm ready for the tattoo."
"Okay man, this may hurt a little," he said as he came closer to me with the needle and ink.

I watched as he outlined and filled in the tattoo. Once he was done with that he went to go and get something in the front of the store. He came back with Anti-Bacterial cream and medical tape in his hands. He sat down and rubbed some of the Anti-Bacterial cream over my chest.

"Okay we are just about done here, stand up and check the tattoo out and you can call me back to bandage you up." I looked in the mirror at my new tattoo. I looked different. I decided that it was good. I looked more like who I want to become and less like who I was. I smiled to myself and called Anthony.
Once he had finished wrapping my chest up, I checked my phone as we walked to the front of the shop.

'Mìguel, you better not get yourself into trouble
-Ella'

I smirked at the text message, I've got Ella wrapped around my little finger. Almost an instant later, Hazel replied:

Juro Míguel si termina en puños de la mano, de nuevo, voy a quitar su hombría , y se ríen mientras lo hace.
(I swear Míguel if you end up in hand cuffs, again, I will remove your manhood, and laugh while doing it.)
-Hazel

I laughed to myself as I arrived at the front of the shop.
"So, Anthony, how much--"
He stopped me half way through my sentence,
"It's on the house bro, plus I have to head back to school."
He grinned as he picked up his leather jacket and walked towards the door. I followed him, grabbed my leather jacket, and walked to my Mercedes.

Before I got in and idea popped into my head. One word: Party. "Hey Anthony!" I yelled across the parking lot.
"What the frick do you want Mìguel?!"
He yelled back.
"Spread the word: Big party this Friday. At my house."
"Sure thing man."
With that we went our separate ways.
