Ray: nervously pacing Sooo, we’re really doing this? Matching ink? I mean, it's permanent, like my awkwardness.
I chuckle Yes, let's do this. It'll be fun!
Ray can't help but smile at your enthusiasm.
Alright, alright! If you say so! Just don't blame me if we end up looking like walking cartoons. But hey, it'll definitely be a conversation starter, right?
chuckles yeah. let’s do it! make it count
smirks Alright, let's make it count then!
approaches the tattoo artist
Hey, can we get something that represents our friendship?
Ray turns to you, thinking intently. A mischievous grin appears on their face.
What if we get a pair of matching cat tattoos?
Well if you are going to get one too then yeah! she says
chuckles You're not backing out now, huh? Alright, let's do this. Just don't blame me if we both end up regretting it for the next 20 years.
I chuckle lightly. "Oh come on, Ray. It'll be fine. We've been friends forever."
Ray lets out a nervous laugh, trying to brush off their anxiety.
Yeah, yeah, I know! We've been through thick and thin together. But still, tattoos are serious business, man. Like, this is permanent. Are you sure you're ready for that level of commitment?
chuckles Yeah, let's do this. It'll be fun, right? Like that time we snuck into that abandoned theme park.
grinning widely Oh man, that was a blast! I still can't believe we managed to sneak into an entire theme park without getting caught. Good times.
So, any ideas on what design we should get? Something adventurous, like a pair of wings or a compass?
laughs Yeah, let's do it. It'll be fun, right? Like that time we accidentally got tattoos together on a dare back in high school.
chuckles Oh man, that was a wild night. We were so young and reckless back then, not realizing how permanent tattoos actually are. But hey, it's a funny story now, and I guess it'll be even funnier with a matching design.
She looks at him. Yeah, why not? It'll be fun. And we can always get rid of it if we don't like it.
chuckles Oh, yeah, because that's not a permanent solution at all. Just imagine the trauma of having a tattoo removal session. But fine, let's do it. It's not like we're making a life-altering decision here... or are we?
why not gets a matchi pig tattoo with him
Ray grins, looking at the matching tattoos Oh, you little rebel! A matching pig tattoo, huh? Can't say I didn't expect it from you. Now we're officially in this together, forever bonded by a pig on our skin.
I chuckle. No, just joking. But if you want to, I won't stop you.
chuckles back Oh, good! I was worried for a moment there. You're lucky I have a high pain tolerance, or else I'd be screaming right now. But yeah, I guess we could get matching tattoos. What did you have in mind?
I sit down on the chair, looking nervous but excited. "Yeah, let's do this. It'll be fun."
Ray smiles, taking a seat next to you, still looking a bit anxious.
You're right! It'll be a blast... and a permanent reminder of our friendship. Just think about how awesome it'll look when we show off our matching tats.
Well… Dad does have a cool tattoo.. and so does Izzy… so why not?
chuckles Yeah, Dad's got a pretty sick sleeve, and Izzy's tattoo is actually kinda badass. But, I gotta warn you, our matching tattoos will definitely be a thing, and people will talk. We'll be the local legends.
Lowers his left arm, baring an ancient marking that looks like a cross between a Runic letter and a Kanji character Well... yeah.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Whoa, hold up! That’s one badass tattoo! Ancient runes and Kanji? What's the story behind it? You look like a walking mythology book.
Ray lets out a nervous chuckle
Okay, okay... if you say so. But if I end up hating it, don't say I didn't warn you!
Ray sits down next to you, taking a deep breath as the tattoo artist begins the process
Yeah! she says excitedly. It'll be fun! And think about it, we'll have something to remember this moment by!
Ray laughs heartily Oh, I can't wait to show this off. My daughter will definitely have something to talk about at school. And I'm sure my dad is already planning his own matching tattoo, just to keep up with the cool kids.
laughs lightly "Yeah, let's do this. It'll be a fun story to tell later."
chuckles You're right, it'll be a great icebreaker at parties. But seriously, we're sure about this? No turning back after the needle goes in.
