The Coochie Diaries 164: The Tattoo Artist (8)
Raya raised an eyebrow. “More? You’ve already given me...” But he was already standing, moving to his worktable where something lay covered with black silk. He removed the covering to reveal not tattoo equipment, but something else entirely, a small leather-bound book. “My sketchbook,” he said, bringing it to her. “The one I use for custom designs.” She took it hesitantly, opening it to the first page. And there she was, not as she looked now, but as she’d looked that first day in his shop. Rendered in pencil with such exquisite detail that she could see the nervous anticipation in her own eyes, the way her hair had fallen across her shoulder, the exact curve of her lips. She turned the page. Another drawing—this time of her laughing, head thrown back, sunlight catching her profile. Page after page after page, dozens of drawings, all of her. Sleeping with her hair fanned across the pillow. Concentrating on her laptop with her brow furrowed. Looking out his window at the rain, her

Raya took his face in her hands and kissed him deeply, pouring every ounce of her love and confidence into it. When she pulled back, his eyes had cleared somewhat. “I love you,” she said firmly. “And tonight will be perfect.” He took a deep breath and nodded. “I love you too. Now let’s go show off our masterpiece.” The next three hours passed in a blur of faces, congratulations, and champagne. The renovated space was stunning,?industrial chic with exposed brick walls now hung with local art, polished concrete floors, and custom lighting that showcased both the artwork and the tattoo stations. Tobi’s original space remained largely unchanged, preserved as a kind of sacred studio, while the new addition flowed seamlessly into it. Raya moved through the crowd with practiced ease, introducing artists to potential clients, making sure the caterers kept the food flowing, and generally playing hostess with a warmth that came naturally when she was this proud of someone she loved. Every

The weeks that followed were a blur of discovery and deepening intimacy. Raya’s tattoo healed beautifully under Tobi’s careful instructions, cleaned and moisturized daily until the colors settled into vibrant permanence on her skin. But more than the physical healing was what happened between them. They spent nearly every night together, sometimes at Raya’s apartment with its view of the city skyline, sometimes at Tobi’s loft above his shop where the scent of ink permeated everything like a promise. One rainy Thursday evening found them at Tobi’s place after a long day for both of them. Raya had been battling with a difficult client who couldn’t decide between cerulean and cobalt blue; Tobi had done a full sleeve that took eight hours straight. They ordered Thai food and ate it cross-legged on his bed, sharing bites from each other’s containers as rain pattered against the skylight above them. “Long day?” Raya asked, and Tobi rubbed his shoulder absently. “The longest.” He set as

Tobi helped Raya undress until she stood naked before him in the candlelight. His eyes traveled over her body with a possessiveness that should have unnerved her but instead made heat pool low in her belly. “On your stomach today,” he instructed, gesturing to a massage table set up in the center of the room. She complied, lying face down with her head turned to watch him prepare his tools. He worked silently today, his usual banter absent as he mixed inks with intense concentration. When he began working, the pain was immediate and intense, the color saturation phase was notoriously painful as he worked ink deep into already tender skin. Raya clenched her fists in the sheets beneath her, breathing through the discomfort. After about thirty minutes of silent work broken only by the machine’s buzz and their breathing, Tobi spoke. “The dragon on my arm,” he began without preamble. “The one you asked about.” Raya turned her head to look at him better. “Yes?” “It represents my fathe

The machine buzzed to life, and this time when the needle touched her skin, Raya was prepared for the sensation. It still hurt, a sharp, scratching pain but layered beneath it was the memory of his hands on her body, his mouth on hers, the feel of him inside her. They worked in silence for the first hour, Tobi completely focused on his art. He shaded the flames first, building up layers of color that seemed to glow even under the shop lights. His touch was different today, still professional, still precise, but there was a tenderness to it that hadn’t been there before. “Tell me about your week,” he said during a brief pause to change needles. Raya told him about her design projects, about the annoying client who wanted everything in neon pink, about the stray cat that had started visiting her balcony. Ordinary things that felt extraordinary when shared with him. In return, he told her about his week, the difficult cover-up he’d done on a former gang member trying to leave his pas

Tobi led her back to his station, but not to the chair. Instead, he guided her to stand before him, turning her to face the mirror on the wall. He stood behind her, his body pressed against her back as he looked at their reflection. “Watch,” he whispered in her ear, his hands coming to rest on her hips. With deliberate slowness, he pulled her tank top over her head, leaving her in only her jeans and a lace bra. The cool air raised goosebumps on her skin, but his body heat behind her kept her warm. “Beautiful,” he murmured, his eyes meeting hers in the mirror. His hands slid around to her front, undoing the clasp of her bra with practiced ease. The garment fell away, and he cupped her breasts in his hands, his thumbs brushing over her nipples until they hardened into tight peaks. Raya gasped, her head falling back against his shoulder as he continued to tease her. In the mirror, she watched his hands on her body, the contrast of his tattooed skin against her pale flesh, his strong

Something soft, feathery, and maddeningly light. A single tip traced the shell of my ear, then danced down my neck, over my nipple. I gasped, my flesh pebbling painfully. The sensation was so delicate it was almost cruel. "Goose down," he whispered, the feather teasing the other nipple now. "The s

The house was a large, silent colonial in an upscale neighborhood. Dark, empty. James parked his unremarkable sedan a block away and approached on foot, his collar turned up against the chill night air. Every step felt criminal, thrilling.He texted: I'm here.The back door opened silently. Elena
