Shell Pink 12
Name: Nikki
Story: Phase
Colors: Shell Pink 12.That's not what you think it is. (Sarah has a customer that wants an ill-advised tattoo.)
Supplies and Styles: Paint by Numbers (From Kat!)
Word Count: 264
Rating: G
Sarah hadn’t worked at a tattoo shop before Andy’s, and she didn’t think she would ever work at any other. She couldn’t imagine any other shop would be so cool. It had a lot of her favorite people, the paperwork for customers literally said, ‘I acknowledge that if this work gets infected or messed up by my own dumb negligence, it’s my own dumb negligent fault,’ and Andy let her rent the apartment above the parlor.
It was basically all around awesome.
Andy even had awesome policies for certain types of customers.
Sarah only had to glance at the potential customer in front of her, and what they wanted, to have to know if they were that sort of customer. Young, usually teens or early twenties? Check. All visible tattoos are flash? Check. The tattoo they want is in foreign writing? We have a winner.
“I bet you a free tattoo that this doesn’t say what you think it does.”
That was basically the policy. If the foreign tattoo someone wanted actually said what they thought it did, they got it for free. At the most, the shop gave out two free tattoos a month.
“But I looked it up,” the bubbly brunette, maybe a freshman in college, said. “It says ‘Love and Peace.’”
Another thing Sarah loved about Andy’s shop was they had a pretty cool computer program. One quick image scan and a search later, they had a translation.
Sarah would never ever get tired of watching people’s faces when she got to tell them things like, “It means ‘Chicken Noodle Soup.”
