Tattoo I
Kangnam DrabblesBirthday boy Taehyun approaches Seungyoon, the tattooist recommended by Seunghoon, for his 1st ever tattoo.
"So you just turned 19, how do you want to celebrate? A birthday party at the casino? Or a gay bar?" Seunghoon casually asks, munching a mouthful of popcorn on the couch.
As if he finds the TV fuming with sparks, Taehyun abruptgrabs the remote and turns off the TV.
"Hey! What the hell-" Seunghoon spurts some popcorn out and nearly spills the bowl on his tummy.
"Hyung, just listen to me. I may or may not have come up with an idea… I know it sounds crazy, so I want to hear your advice. Please?" Taehyun anxiously asks.
"Just tell me and switch on the damn TV! I'm missing Daenerys' scene! It's the ing Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of-"
"I want to get a tattoo."
"What?"
"Hyung, I want to get a tattoo. I know you will oppose to this idea, but I must say I have this strong desire for a few years already. The tattoo is going to be a birthday present for myself and I swear I'll have no regrets later. But actually I don't really need your advice, as I've already made up my mind… Still, I think you deserve to know. I want your full understanding and support too. So what do you think? A friendly reminder. No one can stop me." Taehyun knits his brows, waiting for Seunghoon's reaction.
"So? Go and get one! It's not like I'm your parents or boyfriend, why do you need my approval?" Seunghoon deadpans Taehyun, snatching the remote from Taehyun's hands to switch on the TV. "! See what you've done! I missed the !"
"Wait, what? Hyung, I said I'm getting a tattoo. A tattoo! How come you are not surprised? I didn't tell anyone else…"
"Dumb, I see you keep following overseas tattoo artists on Instagram. Tattooists in Berlin, New York, Toronto and many local ones too, of course. I bet at least 70% of the people you followed are either tattooists or someone with tattoos all over their body. Right, son?"
"Damn right haha." The younger boy chuckles, "But I haven't approached anyone yet. I mean I already have a clear idea of what my tattoo will look like, but I hope I can find someone really professional and gentle…. You know I'm scared of needles and pain."
"Someone professional and gentle – Oh wait, I have someone in mind." Seunghoon pulls out his phone and scrolls through his contacts. "Check out the message I just sent you. This tattooist hangs out with Jinwoo hyung a lot. And I met him a few times before, he's a nice guy. Maybe he can help you this time. Seungyoon, his name."
The boy instantly clicks on the message and adds the number to his contacts. While opening Whatsapp, he asks, "Should I text him now? I need to make a booking and discuss the details with - My god! Is it him on the propic?! He is so hot!" Taehyun holds the phone closer and fixates on the tattooist's juicy lips.
"Yes, he is." Seunghoon smirks. "And believe it or not, he is 100 times more handsome in person. Yet, there's still no one that can outwe
