The Parlor

First topic message reminder :

An expensive and hidden away tattoo shop owned by a famous artist. If someone were to get a tattoo done by him they would need a reservation and to pay thousands of dollars.

He watched Minya now, and squeezed his hand back, though he was quite surprised at the strength his little kitty had summoned up.

He let out a small whimper in a moment of weakness but regained himself and kept squeezing Adam's hand and the chair, hoping it would be done soon.

Henry was fast at work, still getting the general shape down. Adam watched him with a soft smile while keeping Alice happy.

He tried to think of other things as he kept his grip steady, knowing if he didn't he might even cry. It really did hurt a lot, but he wouldn't dare look to see the progress.

Henry could see Minya's watery eyes and Adam's careful expression and worked faster to get the bird done with.

He squeezed a bit more tightly when Henry went more quickly but he knew this way it would be done faster so he was relieved.

After a while Henry finally pulled away to reveal the finished project. "There we go." Adam smiled but kept a hold of Minya's hand just in case he needed comfort still. Henry went to get a bandage and some tape.

Minya exhaled deeply and wiped his eyes. He looked at the tattoo and smiled a bit, glad he had done it. He then loosened his grip on Adam's hand and smiled at him gently, "Thank you."

Henry nodded and put the bandage on carefully and fastened it with medical tape. "Be careful with this area, you can take the bandage off after 24 hours." Adam smiled and helped gently fix Minya's pants when Henry finished and helped him up, holding Alice still.

He nodded, "Okay." he said and reached to hold Alice while Adam got his own tattoo. "Did you bring the print or are you just going to get a normal one?" he asked curiously.

He handed Alice off before pulling off his sweater and shirt. He pulled out the paper from his pocket and handed it to Henry. "Of course, I wouldn't want the normal one." Henry looked to the paw bring and chuckled realizing it was Minya's and nodded. Adam took a seat now and Henry turned to Minya to ask where.

He gave a timid smiled, "Um... over his heart." he said softly and sat down in the chair Adam had used.

Henry nodded and chuckled "such a pathetic kitten print." Adam laughed at this and nodded, "its what I want." Henry smiled and looked to Minya, "color?"

"Red." he said almost immediately, though he wasn't happy that it was called pathetic. He got over it though and only looked at Adam.

He nodded and got the ink ready before leaning in closely. He didn't bother to ask Adam if he was ready as he started the gun against his skin.

He glanced at the needle for a moment but decided he didn't want to see either of them until they had both healed up. He watched Adam's face with a small smile, he knew Adam could take more pain than him.

Adam could feel some pain but was able to mask over it. The tattoo was smaller than Minya's and was finished quickly and required less detail. He put the gun away and went to get a bandage and medical tape for Adam.

Minya chuckled, "You are lucky. Yours took a lot less." he smiled and swayed his tail a little.

He chuckled and nodded, "mine is also in a less painful area then yours, sorry about that," He said and nuzzled Minya's ear. "Well then, shall we take this into my office to discuss value?" Henry asked standing up. Adam nodded and got up too. "Minya here's the keys, got to the car with Alice I'll be out there in a bit."

He paused and nodded, taking the keys and getting up. He nuzzled Adam a little before heading out to the car, unlocking it and putting Alice in her seat before taking his own and locking the doors just in case.

Adam paid Henry and returned outside, with his hood back up and his sunglasses on. He go tapped on the window for Minya to unluck the door.

He smiled a bit when he saw Adam and unlocked the door for him, giving him his keys.

He got in and started the car. "You okay? Not too much pain?"

He nodded, "It stings a little, but I will be okay." he purred, swaying his tail. "I am happy I got it~"

"Mine too," he said and pet his ears and looked back to make sure Alice was already and drove of heading back to the apartment.
