I was in my usual place where I get piercings and tats done and had a woman ahead of me in getting a tattoo done. I was sitting idly looking through a magazine when a woman came in. She was about my age and really nervous looking, so I knew it was he first time having anything done. I struck up a conversation with her and helped her get over her nervousness about it. She was recently divorced like me and ready to express her new found freedom. I began feeling fond of her and in the back of my mind, she was just the kind of woman I imagined making out with. I'd had that fantasy long ago and here she was sitting beside me talking about my intimate piercing. It didn't take much for my mind to wander when I was getting my next piercing and wished things had of played out like they did in my fantasy.
The buzz of the tattoo needle filled the waiting room with the only noise, as I sat waiting to get my next piercing. The door opened and a woman about my age walked and looked about nervously. I could tell it was her first time there, not knowing the routine of just calling back to Jason and letting him know you were there.
"What's your name, Hon?"
"Kelly, Kelly Nolan. Are you working here?"
I chuckled and shook my head.
"No, no, I'm here to get a piercing. Just shout in the back and let Jason know you're here. He's doing a tat on a woman right now."
"Oh, okay. So what do I do? Just shout out?"
"Here, let me."
I got up and leaned over the counter and yelled back.
"Jason, Kelly Nolan just came in for her...."
I turned to her to see what she was getting done. Kelly noticed the facial questioning.
"Oh, a piercing and a small tattoo."
I smiled at her, happy seeing a woman her own age coming into her own like I had not long ago. It had been an interesting journey so far exploring new things in life I had always wanted to do, but always held myself back out of doubts and fears. Kelly stood nervously, looking at pictures of tattoos and designs and I could see her nervousness.
"First time getting anything done?"
Kelly looked at me and I could see a need to associate with someone, written on her face as she nodded.
"Come, might as well sit down, we still have lots of time to kill before he's done with her in there."
Kelly sighed a bit easier, finding comfort in being with me and not facing it all alone, as she walked over and sat beside me in the small waiting area.
"So you're getting a piercing and a tat you said?"
"Yes, I'm so scared though. I'm not sure I'm still going to go through with it all or not."
"Why not? What's there to worry about?"
"I'm so worried about what other people will think of me if they found out what I did. Think I'm some crazy sex nut, or something."
I broke out laughing and saw the hurt on Kelly face it was taken as a joke. She reached over and took her hand and held it gently.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh. It was the crazy sex nut thing that made me laugh, not at you. I'm way more of a sex nut if that's the case."
Kelly saw the common thread sewing them together and became curious.
"Have you done anything like this?"
"Hon, I'm getting my third piercing today. I have two small tats, one on my ankle and another in a place a bit more intimate, let's say. What are you wanting to get done?"
Kelly looked at me, getting a feel for me and a sense of trust as well.
"I wanted to get a tattoo somewhere no one can see, but I have no idea where really. Where do you have yours?"
I looked about and pointed to her pubic area, noting the left side close to the junction of her thigh and hip. Kelly saw where I was pointing and looked at me with wonder.
"What was that like getting done? Did it hurt getting it there?"
"Getting it done was easy enough. Just pulled my panties down far enough so Jason could ink it on and laid there until he finished."
"Was it painful? You know, so close to your...."
"Pussy, You can say that, Kelly. Pussy."
Kelly reddened in embarrassment and saw that I wanted her to repeat it as well.
"Pussy."
"There, wasn't so hard, was it? A far as painful, it's not so bad if you have some meat where you get it done. My ankle hurt way more than this one did."
"No, just, you know, I'm not used to talking about it like that. What do you mean by meat?"
"You know, got some cushioning to it. Like the difference between your thigh and your knee let's say. I'm going to take a wild guess here, but you seem like me and just got divorced a little while ago, right?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
I could see the look in her blue eyes, letting her know Kelly felt exposed and vulnerable,
"You're like I was at first when I first got divorced. I wanted to do things now that I was free to do whatever I felt like. I wanted to do something really different too and got my navel pierced. I thought that was so kinky at first."
"Really? That's what I was thinking of doing too. What's it like to get done?"
I looked around again and unzipped my black jacket. I opened the sides and caught Kelly noticing my bare nipples showing through the white tank top. I didn't bring any attention to it, but liked how Kelly was looking at me. I enjoyed the admiration of men and women alike, but Kelly's look held hints of other feelings involved. I pulled up the bottom of my top and exposed my navel ring with a tiny, dangling, jewelled ornament attached to it. Kelly saw it and sighed at its beauty.
"It's beautiful, I love it. That's what I'd like to get too, something like that."
Kelly reached out and held it in her fingers, caressing the chain and stone with her fingers softly, admiring it intimately. I watched her enjoying herself and felt an enjoyment in that myself. Kelly finally realized what she was doing and let the ring go like it was shocking her. She looked at me with great embarrassment again.
"I'm so sorry, that was so wrong of me to do that."
"Oh stop, you did nothing wrong. If I thought it was wrong, I wouldn't have let you touch me. You're just checking out stuff for the first time. I wish I met someone when I first got pierced and tats and had a chance to talk to someone."
Kelly saw me was expressing her own thoughts and felt a common bond of connection growing. She was starting to feel more comfortable with my easy going ways and openness, letting her relax her guarded feelings.
"Thanks, you're so nice. I'm really happy I met you. Honestly, I'm scared to death still thinking about it."
