You had better. I have so much advice about episiotomies and everything. Just wait until you come crawling to me begging for wisdom.

[unexpectedboner]

When I need to know about epistemology, mermaids, or naked guys, you'll be the first one I call.

Anyway, is there anything you can do so it doesn't look so...girly? I mean, I like the sentiment, but...

[keybroad]

Hmmmmmmm. You have a point. I can try to make it sort of a star? Less inviting curves, and with more black and green ink than purple. Like a secret society symbol.

[Sketching...]

[unexpectedboner]

[imagines the "you tried" star]

Secret societies sound good. Purple's fine, too. But yeah, I think having the shape more stylized would look cool, actually, if that's workable.

[keybroad]

[It comes out like this as long as you ignore the wobbly mouse effect of MS Paint.]

Would this be good?

[unexpectedboner]

Yeah! On my arm?

[brandishes his modestly muscled right bicep in a way obviously meant to impress]

[keybroad]

Okay then.

[She gets ready to do it fairly close to the shoulder drawing attention to the bulk of the muscle mass.]

[unexpectedboner]

[maybe she should add in some shading so that it looks like the muscle is more massive than it actually is... either way, he'll stay relatively still for her to do what she needs to do]

I doubt it since your outfits generally don't leave much to the imagination, but do you have any tattoos of your own?

[keybroad]

[She's taking this very seriously as the inking goes through, and her voice is actually less jocular than you might expect:]

Not anymore.

[unexpectedboner]

Must've been something pretty crazy to have second thoughts.

[keybroad]

...

[moving the needle more quickly than she should]

It's not as rare as you think. I'm glad he's g-- it's gone.

[unexpectedboner]

[wincing a bit but biting his tongue]

Okay. Nothing wrong with that.

[keybroad]

I don't have the same feeling that you'll regret getting this. [She stares harder at the tattoo, with the black outline done, changing in the green now.] Because, you know, my taste is so good.

[unexpectedboner]

Yeah... I'm not worried. There's no way I'd question you on your aesthetic.

[to her face, anyway]

[keybroad]

It's unquestionable!

[The spikes are coming out great. It's time to pack in the last of the purple ink now.]
