7 years later.....

Amelia-Rose Shannon Taylor ~

"Alright.......Looks like I'm done here......" I wiped down on his tattoo on his back for the last time, discarding the wet fabric away "Now that wasn't so bad after all for your first tattoo- wasn't it?"

"To be honest I thought it would hurt a lot more than I thought it would" he admitted as I took a new wipe and clean the smudges around the feather tattoo completely off

"Since this your first tattoo, it's going to take some time to heal which will be a month before it's fully healed. This plastic I'm putting on you is to prevent the tattoo from messing up and I want you to keep it on for four days, then remove it. Before removing the thin plastic, make sure to wash your hands first then wash the area covered with the newly tattoo with soap and water- just a simple soap would do. Don't go into any swimming pool or bathe or shower in hot water or it will irritate the tattoo. If you do feel the itching sensation with the tattoo on your back, it just needs a little bit of moisturising- don't scratch it or touch it, it will cause the tattoo to irritate and peel off. I will give you instructions as well as an oil to apply on the tattoo....any questions?" I finished applying the sticky plastic on his back

"Nope...."he responded

"Aye Lia I got another customer for you!"

Whatchu mean you've got another customer for me Jo!

Bringing Jo's presence closer to the room I was in, she stood leaning against the door as she crossed her arms with a cheeky smile on her face.

"Girl I know you heard me call your name...don't be looking at me all surprised and shit"

"You not see I had three clients today..." I sighed deeply "i'm lucky that the man I just had asked for a small tattoo"

"Ohhh he was fine though...you get his number or something..." my mouth went wide, witnessing the first trapping of my co-worker

"Jo this ain't a meet and greet fuck you client shit- I ain't getting paid to get to know him!" I stood up from my seat, discarding the gloves of my hands into the bin

"Well it seems like you need a good fucking anyway...plus the customer I said that wanted a tattoo is not so bad looking himself- you gotta check him out" Jo smacked onto her chewing gum causing me to growl lowly in irritation "Girl don't be growling at me..." she checked me

"Jo I'm not even trying to be a sassy pot or whatever, but I really thought this would be my last tattoo for the day" I shrugged my shoulders in defeat

"Just give this man a shot-" Jo walked towards me "-see what he wants, it might be a small tattoo, if not ask him to come in tomorrow to do it"

"Why couldn't you just tat the man up instead" I simply asked

"I got a client scheduled very soon..."

"What about the other artists?"

"All occupied" Jo had a plastered smile on her face as I honestly felt like slapping her happiness away

"Fine!" I agreed

"Yay!" She squealed like a sixteen year old valley girl

We excited the room to the reception area with all the designs of different types of tattoos Plastered all around the walls.

"That's him..." Jo uttered to me as I looked at the tall lanky man that soon made eye contact with the both of us (well more of me), as Jo walked off only for me to go over towards the man

Getting closer to him, he wasn't actually too bad looking as he was from far or I must just be getting blind or some shit.

"Hello...how can I help you?" I asked professionally as his blue eyes that was slightly covered by his long shaggy curls that feel in his face went wide

Okay then...Why does Jo always set me up with these weird ass customers!

"Um...is everything okay sir?" I asked him followed by a nervous chuckle

"Oh-yes, I'm fine" he clapped back into reality "I don't really have an appointment but I was wondering if I could make an appointment for a tattoo- like on my left upper arm...'

"Do you have any ideas for the type of design you want?" I asked him as I took out a pen and paper from behind the reception area we were standing at

"Well I did have this picture that I drew out a long time ago and I was thinking of having it tatted- what to do you think?" He asked taking out a folded picture of a beautiful women

I gasped at the sight of the small drawing that resembled a light skin girl. Every bit of detail he had was not missed out one bit. The curly dark brown hair that paraded like a crown on top of her head, blending in with the brown sparkly eyes with the thick lashes making her look doll like. The freckles spread out on her face, all over her small button nose and her thick plump pink lips.

"You drew this?" I asked him in shock

"Y-yeah...d'you like it?" He asked nervously as he bought a hand behind his neck

"I love it- you know what, imma keep this with me and draw this out and I'll have you sorted out for tomorrow!" I said excitedly "how's eleven in the morning for ya?"

"That's great..." he replied with a smile

********

"You send his fine ass away?" Jo pouted seconds after the lanky okay looking dude left

"I didn't send his ass away bitch!" I shot back rolling my eyes "I could've done his tattoo now but this- look at what he drew" I shoved the drawing in her face

I watched her anxiously looking at the drawing as she made unreadable expressions on her face.

"What's the problem?" I asked her

"So not one ounce of this photo screams Amelia- Rose to you?" She smacked onto her gum

"Looks like me where?" I looked at her as if she was delusional

"Um Lia...honey, you sure you're not loosing your vision?"

"Well I was second guessing- wait no bitch...Jo! I'm not loosing my vision!"
