Sometimes, however, it isn't a long-ago night in which I surrender to you. It's more modern-day, a normal work-a-day for you, as you recline in your chair, feet up, staring out the picture window at the small park across the street, and the ocean further on. Dusk is just beginning to fall, and safety lights add a fairytale glow to the picturesque scene across the way.
It's been a fairly quiet day in your shop. The tourist season is just starting up, beach bunnies coming in spurts and starts. You enjoy the calm now, knowing that in a week or two, spring break will hit hard, and your shop will be packed with college kids wanting tattoos or piercings to remind them of their debauchery, both of you which provide.
You put your head back, cradled in your hands, and with eyes closed, go over your inventory mentally, deciding on what to restock and what to display. When you hear the door open, you sit up, smiling as you always do, welcoming the newcomer inside.
You look her over as she walks around, looking at the displays of artwork that you have distributed around the walls, the carousels of piercing jewels on the counters. She seems somewhat nervous, quite a bit excited, and you notice she even discretely checks for dust and grime – neither of which she will find here, as you believe in a safe and clean environment for your work.
You look her over as she peruses your store, playing your mental game of trying to predict what she will request. She has long, curling, dark red hair, big blue eyes and soft lips. She is tall, but seems curvy enough in the jeans and button-down shirt she's wearing. She's showing a tasteful amount of cleavage, isn't wearing a lot of makeup, and seems fairly shy, all of which lead you to think that she's more curious than anything. But wait – she has a bit of daring, if you go by the three sets of earrings she wears. Not too much, and fairly tasteful – you'll have to wait and see what this one wants.
Finally, she ambles over to you, shy, faintly blushing. She asks if you have done most of the artwork that is on display, to which you respond affirmatively. She asks if you would be capable of doing a dragon, preferably in purples and blues and greens. Raising your eyebrow at her increasing blush, you again answer affirmatively. After a few moments of silence, you prod her, asking where she would
like
such a piece of work.
Blushing fiercely now, she avoids your eyes and motions in the general vicinity of her chest. Intrigued, you lean forward and ask just how big of a piece she is looking for – and are surprised when she stammers that she wants it to start above her breast (she has to choke that word out) and have the tail curl around and beneath. Her face bright red now, she reaches into a pocket and pulls out a folded paper, saying that she wants it to basically look something like that, and about that size.
Emitting a low whistle, you look at the picture, then back at her, and tell her that to get a tattoo of that size, in that area, would require a rather large chest dimension. You hand the paper back, asking if she wouldn't prefer something else.
She is flushed an incredible shade of crimson now, and stammers that she thinks she can handle it – but she wants to add something to it. Well, two things, really. You raise your eyebrow again, and wait for her to continue. After a second, she does, telling you that she wants the dragon to hold a Celtic cross. And... she pauses, then takes a deep breath, summoning the confidence to continue, she wants the dragon to wear a collar and chain – and the chain must connect to a nipple ring, as if it were to tether the dragon there.
At this, both your eyebrows go up in surprise – definitely not what you had expected of this one. Unbidden, your eyes wander back down to her chest, which you note is rising and falling at a very rapid rate. Clearing your throat, you ask if she has already been pierced, or if that will need to be done, also.
Relieved, she says that she will need to be pierced, and asks if you think you can do the job that she wants. Still looking fairly skeptically at her shirt, you tell her that you know you can handle the artwork and the piercing – but you're still not convinced that there's enough skin there for what she wants.
With that, she reaches up and unbuttons her shirt, then pulls it open, showing you her chest sweetly encased in yellow lace. You are unable to mask your surprise, as she is much larger than you would have thought, unless that's a padded bra. And even then, she most definitely has enough for her design.
