One day a young woman entered the tattoo studio. Jess welcomed her, but then insisted to see her ID card as due to the services provided by the studio local laws only allowed adults to enter it. The card showed that her name was Elisabeth and that it was her 18th birthday.
"Congratulations, Elisabeth, on your first day as grown up!" Jess said with a blink.
"May I guess: you want to celebrate your 18th birthday by getting a piercing or a small tattoo? You wouldn't be the first one to do that."
"Thanks - and please call me Lizzy. You are somewhat right, but I want more than a tattoo. I'd like to volunteer for the Body Mod Charity."
"Sorry girl, I don't think that this is the right thing to do for you. You would sacrifice your whole body and have no right to choose the changes. Have you seen how other volunteers have ended? They all love their new life but are considered as freaks by most people."
"I know, so let me tell you my story. My parents and especially my Dad have controlled my whole life up to today. They decided on my hobbies - for example I hate tennis, but I had to take lessons at an expensive club. 'You might meet your future husband there.' said my Mom, but all the guys there were braggers, always talking about their future 'fantastic' career.
Then they decided which friends I'm allowed to have and when I once told them about a cute boy I have met, they prohibited any contact to him as he was a low-class loser in their eyes. Moreover, my parents are very religious, I was never allowed to wear any short skirts or tight T-shirts. I wasn't allowed to any parties and they always told me that I shouldn't have any sex before I've got married. It is so unfair, I totally hate them! They even picked a university where they want me to study law - only because they are themselves lawyers! I don't want this life! I want to be free, decide whom to meet, go to parties and to have fun!
One day I have read about your Body Mod Charity and was stunned! I have always loved tattoos and piercings, but my parents not even allowed me to get my ears pierced! Then I saw the pictures of the vixen girl and I knew that this is the lifestyle I want to have. I'd love to have all these body modifications - and fuck off the life my parents have chosen for me. This would be the best payback for the lost 18 years of my life."
Mike and Jess discussed a long time before they decided to accept Lizzy as next volunteer and help her to start the life she desired. They could see the joy in Lizzy's eyes when they promised her a radical transformation which will cut every connection to her old life and which will be the best payback for her parents. They agreed on a charity that helps runaways and decided to start the transformation in three months when Lizzy has finished school and hopefully enough money has risen. She would tell her parents that she is going to volunteer on a christian summer camp after school - it will be such a shock when they find out what she has done instead.
Three month later Lizzy came back to the tattooists. The next weeks she was going to live in a side room of the studio until all modifications were finished. She was aware that she will never move back to her parents after this, but she didn't care about it. As usual first her pubic and armpit hair were permanently removed. Then she had to lay down on her front so that Mike and Jess could start the inking. The next hours Lizzy felt the needles permanently digging ink into her flesh. In the evening the first session was done. Jess asked Lizzy if she wanted to see the first piece or if it should be a surprise when everything is done, but Lizzy couldn't wait and insisted to see it immediately.
