Black Pearl Tattoo Cape Cod Novels & Stories

“The tattoo she’s drawing on your skin will connect you to a bird. You can always send it information.” He held his hand out, showing me the tattoo on his arm. “I have the same one as well. This means the bird is reserved for just you and me. once our use of it is over, the tattoo will naturally fade away” The woman stepped back as she finished. “If you wish to convene it, all you have to do is speak its name, it will answer.” Her voice was gentle, yet carried an air of worship. She turned to my father, eyes searching for confirmation. He gave a slow, solemn nod, the weight of unexpressed memories shadowing his expression. A strange cold ran down my spine, the solemnity of their words sinkin

He undid the zipper of my dress and before I knew it, I was left in just my underwear and my heels. Not wanting to be the only one undressed, I pulled off his shirt and threw it somewhere I couldn't be bothered about, then moved back to admire his chest. Tattoos of different kinds were etched on his skin, each one a different story than the last. There was one particular one that caught my eye at the left side of his chest. It was " Carpe Diem." Written in cursive with small roses woven around the words. It was so beautiful that I knew it wasn't just a tattoo.

“No, you won't. Don't worry, you won't have to return it.” She wondered what type of person he was to be out there, lingering in the shadows. “Were you watching us?” The thought came at her like a spear. “This place is supposed to be sacred.” “Oceanpearl should bear that name because of how often it uses it. ‘This land is sacred’, ‘that tree is sacred’, ‘oh, look at the moon, it's sacred’,” he mocked, shaking his head and making his deep voice into one better suited for jokes. “That word tires me.”

He took a deep breath, his chest rising slowly. When he was finally naked, the contrast between his refined aura and the body marked by maritime tattoos became impossible to miss. Across his chest, a map intertwined with a compass; on his left arm, an anchor plunging into rough seas, wrapped in a ribbon that read “Mother” at the top and a date engraved beneath; on his other arm, an old-style ship, as if lifted straight from pirate tales. Symbols of direction, loss, and belonging—ones few people knew how to read.

With his other hand he opened the covers and saw that they were both naked. He felt defeated just seeing them like that, he closed the covers then went and moved the hair on Mercy’s neck. There is was, his mark on her delicate neck, it was a pitch-Black Moon, it looked so beautiful on her pale skin and it looked like it was tattooed there. “Fuck!” he cursed under his breath upon seeing it and the mixed scents confirming it. Carl kept his word and marked her without his consent. He got out of bed in all his naked glory going to the bathroom to clean up.

Her reason had already evaporated. That was when Belle’s half-lidded gaze caught something on Bastian’s left hip. The skin there was still red and irritated, where the tattoo artist had just injected fresh black ink. A small silhouette was etched there. A sparrow with its wings spread. Belle’s breath caught in her throat. Her eyes widened as she stared at the new tattoo, then lifted her gaze back to Bastian with stunned disbelief. “You… tattooed that?” she whispered. Her finger trembled as she pointed toward Bastian’s hip without daring to touch it. “On your body?”

“Luke and I got a tattoo together.” “What?!” Pearl was so shock she couldn’t move. “I can’t say no or he’ll be suspicious. I had to do it.” Pearl run her hands to her face feeling frustrated. “That means… I have to get the tattoo too. Where did you decided to put it?” “My under boob, it’s just ‘love’ it’s unnoticeable.” “Fine.” After the call was done the twins were aggravated from all their experiencing right now but both of them can’t really blame anyone because they choose this and they liked this… in their minds ‘I should endure this. This is what I wanted.’

Waiting for him to come soon, I sat next to Everleigh as I looked at her calm self, how she peacefully breathed in and out and how beautiful she looked. I touched her neck and moved her t-shirt to reveal her skin where I had marked her. My mark was there, still visible, but the reddishness of her skin made it hard to see it. But I knew sooner or later. It would be visible as a permanent tattoo on her skin, letting everyone know that she belonged to me. I combed her hair with my hand, and that was also when I heard a knock on the door. I stood up and walked to the door, very well knowing who it was. I opened the door to reveal Kavin in front of the door with a teasing smile on his lips.

Soreness filled me and there was no energy left for tears. There was a tiny hole underneath the cloak blindfolding me. It breezed up due to continuous oscillation. The first thing my eyes narrowly saw was a tattoo of an anchor on the top right side of his chest. It was a little different. The arm and fluke were just like flaming swords and the shank was painted like a white-bearded old man with his mustache flagging on both edges. There was a last pound and I felt his spill inside of me. I became dizzy and my vagina became even sorer when he was done.

“Enjoy your stay. But hey, word of advice? Steer clear of the Red Zone if you’re really just here for the sauna. Unless you want more than a quiet night, of course. In that case, the Red Zone’s your best bet.” “The Red Zone?” “It’s on the far end. Trust me, you’ll know it when you see it.” With a wink, he turns and walks off, flip-flops slapping against the tile. That’s when I catch the enormous tattoo spanning his entire back—a bird, wings spread wide, talons out. A hawk.
