I don't know... [ Rayne ]

[Violet Weglarz]

Violet walked into the tatoo palor. She still wasn't sure which tatoo she was going to get, if she was going to get one at all. Everytime she came close to getting one, she would always chicken out. It happened everytime. While walking amongst the designs, she happened upon a really good looking one, that could let you write anything you want in the middle. If she did get one, she wanted one that had her band name written in the middle. Though she, again, wasn't sure about getting one. "I wish this was easier," she said, sighing.

Rayne had drifted down the street and the neon sign of Newark's tattoo and piercing parlor caught her eye. "Why the fuck not?", Rayne said shaking her head and smiling recklessly. Rayne walked in and noticed the singer from The Plastic Smiles in the parlor.

"I wish this was easier"

"Its really not that hard.", Rayne said smirking slightly and pointed to a particular design with a heart and barbed wire draped over it and a blank space. "I would get that one. Get it in a light color, so if you don't like it, then its not too noticable. Also get it in a place that you wouldn't mind showing off or covering up.", Rayne advised having gotten a tattoo herself.

"Hey I'm Ryan, what can I do for you today?", asked the man behind the counter who was bearing a few piercings and noticable tattoo's himself.
"Hey, I was hoping for a lip piercing.", said Rayne grinning recklessly.
"No problem.", Ryan said motioning for her to go into the back room.
Rayne waved to Violet, "I'll be back soon."

A lip peircing? I can't get a simple tatoo, and she gets a lip peircing, Violet thought. She took into consideration what she said. A heart with a barbed wire didn't seem so bad. And she could always get it on her lower back. She thought about it for a few minutes still. A tatoo. It's permanant. Can't be redone, and never can be taken off. What if they mess up? What if she doesn't like it? All these thoughts were running through Violet's mind while she was waiting for the girl to come back out. I can always get a piercing. At least I know I can get one of those, she thought. It'd be easier, and she wouldn't have to deal with it if she didn't want it in.

Rayne followed Ryan into the back room and she felt a pang of nervousness strike her gut. Every single time she had gotten a piercing done before, Scarlett, Frank or Rayne's older sister had been with her. This time, it was just her and the needle. Rayne shook herself slightly. I can do this! Come on Rayne! Get a hold of yourself!, Rayne scolded herself mentally sitting down in the chair.

"Hey listen, I have to go finish up someone else, give me 15 minutes, would you?", Ryan asked looking sheepishly at Rayne. "Oh, no problem. Do you mind if I call a friend and ask her to come?", Rayne asked smiling sweetly and eyeing the rest of the room which had plenty of assorted metal objects and dyes lying around.
"No problem.", Ryan said looking very relieved after which he practically ran out of the room. Rayne giggled slightly and reached for her phone, pressing speed dial 2.

One ring. Two rings. "Hello?", Scarletts familiar voice came over the phone. "Hey, do you want to come down to Newarks tattoo and piercing place? I'm getting my lip done, and I need you.", Rayne said excitedly. "Sure thing. I'll be there in 5 minutes.", she replied. Rayne grinned and hung up the phone without saying a goodbye.

She sighed and leaned back into the plastic covered chair, checking her surroundings to make sure they were sanitary. Plastic coverings were over the needles, the gun looked as if it was missing the part that pierced the ear. Removable piece, a voice in Rayne's head reminded her. Rayne grinned as a familiar red-head stuck her head into the small room. "Hi Scarlett.", Rayne said pleasantly.

The sweetest thing I ever tasted...
Invite me to pray, let the music glow

Scarlett had been lounging about the tour bus, rereading the article about Heck No! Techno for about the dozenth time, when her phone began to chime out its' familiar I Am Ghost ringtone. She grabbed at it, but could not reach it, as it was on the floor across from her bunk. Extending her hand, she managed to fall off the bed in her attempt to retrieve her phone. ''Umph!'' she grunted, as she fell to the floor gracefully. But hey, at least she managed to pick up the phone. Answering after the third ring, she put it up to her ear. ''Hello?'' she asked into the phone, as she had not bothered to look at the name that had come up. It was Rayne.

"Hey, do you want to come down to Newark's tattoo and piercing place? I'm getting my lip done, and I need you.

[/i]",

''Aw, raddical!'' Scarlett exclaimed into the phone, before adding, ''Sure thing, I'll be there in five minutes,'' Rayne hung up the phone without even saying goodbye. Scarlett picked herself up off the floor, stuck her phone into the pocket of her back skinny bermuda shorts, picked up her Heck No! Techno band hoodie, and threw it over her head as she exitted the bus, heading towards the piercing salon, which was only a short public bus ride away.

Literally five minutes later, she peeked her head around the corner to see the room where the receptionist had informed Rayne would be. She was, indeed there, along with another chick... Some new girl. Scarlett was pretty sure she'd never seen her before. ''Hey Ray,'' she said, smiling, as she walked in. ''Finally getting that lip done? Raddical. Hmm... While I'm here, should I get that monroe?'' she asked, grinning devilishly. Her mother would probably kill her if she saw her, but she didn't care. She was 20 now - completely independant.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote]
