SKIN by ajmalone

SKIN PART ONE OF THE TATTOO SERIES An Urban Fantasy Crime Novel ABOUT SKIN The relationship of tattoos to antisocial personality disorder would seem obvious. However, as we live in politically correct times, nothing can be taken for granted any more. Knee-jerk responses like this one need to be hypothesized and then studied under conditions of clinical accuracy. Preliminary results seem to confirm what we all thought anyway; forensic psychiatric inpatients are more likely to have tattoos. No kidding. They are likely to have a higher percentage of overall body area tattooed. They are also more likely to have histories of sexual and substance abuse and suicide attempts than non-tattooed offenders. So why do they get more tattoos? What are they trying to do? Externalize? Internalize? Keep themselves safe from demons the rest of us can't see? Are they just crazy or do they know something the rest of us don't? The oldest known tattoos date back 5000 years to a male found frozen in the Alps in 1991. He was very, very dead. The latest tattoo in human history is the one that is about to be drilled into the stretched out skin on my back. And me? I'm as good as dead anyway... The needle pierces my skin at 3000 jabs a minute. What's that per second? 50 times? My math's not bad. How likely am I now to take drugs, sexually abuse and engage in suicidal anti-social behavior? Answer; very, very much indeed.’ What would you do to save your family? You probably don't even want to know. Neither did Dennis Small, but he sure as hell was going to find out.

DISCLAIMER - I DO NOT OWN THIS STORY, IM SIMPLY MOVING THIS STORY FROM AO3 TO WATTPAD BECAUSE ITS AN AMAZING STORY THIS FIC IS BY "Lecrit" ON AO3 ALL RIGHTS GO TO HER [COMPLETED] "You should get a tattoo." Alec firmly believed in coincidences, in the serendipity that could bring the hazards of life, but even he could admit that sometimes, things seemed to happen for a reason. He was too much of a pragmatic person to truly believe in fate and destiny. So even when Jace blurted those words at him as he stumbled into his shop, they remained abstract concepts to him, no matter how it nudged at the back of his mind.

The Dreamers (Editing) by BriannaAverett

I couldn't stop trembling even more now. I calmed down a little more and checked my arm again. I was correct, I wasn't hallucinating. On my shoulder was a tattoo. It was a character of some sort-- in a different language. It looked like it was Chinese mixed with Islamic calligraphy. The skin around my arm was red and irritated. The symbol stuck out like a vein. I hyperventilated. I thought I was going to have a panic attack. I had to sit there, on my bed, and command myself to calm down. "I'm dreaming. I'm dreaming. This isn't real," I whispered. I checked the mirror again and searched all over my body to see if I had any other markings, but so far this was the only one. I shut my eyes, trying to force myself to wake up, but this was real. And for the first time, out of all the panicking, my vision went black.
