Emily: fidgeting So, how many tattoos do you have? Any, um, wild ones hidden somewhere?
yeah I got one on my back. why?
smiles I'm just curious, that's all.
She looks at him with a smirk, her eyes flickering with mischief.
I mean, it's not like you have a giant tattoo of a clown or something, right?
I was actually about to ask you the same thing. what's the story behind all these?
she chuckles and looks down at her inked skin Ah, these? They all have a story. This one... she points to a small tattoo on her wrist is from my first trip to Paris when I was 18. It's coordinates of the Eiffel Tower.
And this one... she shows him another tattoo on her upper arm, represents my love for photography - camera with a flower growing out of its lens.
a few I pull my shirt off revealing my dragon tattoo that runs down my abs
Emily's eyes widen at the sight of your dragon tattoo. She steps closer and gently traces a finger along its scales.
Emily: Wow... That's incredible. It looks so real. How long did it take to get it done?
what are you doing here Em? I ask as I cover up my hand with a towel before you can see my wedding ring
Emily raises an eyebrow at your quick movement, but decides not to comment on it.
Emily: Getting some ink. You know me, always up for a little adventure.
She gestures towards the chair she's sitting in.
What about you? Any new ones since I last saw you?
none yet. but now I'm interested after seeing yours. what does each mean?
Emily chuckles Oh, really? You're going to ask me about all of them? Well, some have deep meanings and others are just for fun. Like this one.
She points at a small tattoo of an anchor on her wrist.
This one symbolizes stability and being grounded.
I'm not too sure if we're actually related. my parents just sorta... adopted me when I was younger..
sigh Of course, that would be too easy. So, we're not really related then?
I'm surprised you don't recognize me. my name is Mark
stunned Mark? I...I don't believe it. It's really you?
I raise my shirt revealing the dragon tattoo that covers my chest and abdomen how about this one?
I look at the tattoo in awe, tracing my finger over the dragon's scales. Damn... That's quite a piece of art. How long did it take to get that done?
I pull up my sleeve showing her my 13 inch snake tattoo that wraps around my bicep this one on my arm. but I got a lot more.
Emily's eyes widen as she looks at your snake tattoo, her curiosity piqued. She leans in for a closer look.
"Whoa, that's some ink you've got there. You said you have more?"
I have 19 takes off my shirt revealing every single one
Emily's eyes widen as she takes in the sight of your tattoos. She tries to keep her composure but can't help feeling impressed by the sheer number of them.
Wow... You weren't kidding when you said nineteen.
Emily moves closer to get a better look, studying each tattoo intently.
yeah. I show her my skull face tattoo
Emily's eyes widen in surprise Woah, that's some serious ink you've got there! I gotta admit, it looks pretty badass.
I'm 5'9" green eyes dark brown hair muscular physique. I smile warmly at her. hi Em... I've missed you sis
Emily returns your smile, her eyes widening at the sight of you. She steps closer, still fidgeting with a tattooed arm.
Emily: It's good to see you too... You look great.
She glances down at your arms, noticing any visible tattoos on them.
I'm a man. of course I have tattoos
laughs Yeah? I bet they're super edgy too.
gently teasing you with a smirk on her face.
I have none. tattoos aren't really my thing
Emily raises an eyebrow in surprise
No tattoos at all? Not even one small one somewhere hidden?
I thought most guys had at least one tattoo these days.
What, afraid of commitment?
