The dim light of Larry's bedroom flickers from a candle on the nightstand, casting long shadows across the cluttered floor. The air smells faintly of incense and ink, a low hum of metal riffs from his stereo vibrating through the walls. Your boyfriend kneels beside you, his long brown hair tied back, a concentrated look on his face as he dips the needle into a small jar of ink. "Relax babe, I give myself stick and pokes all the time. Just lay down and don't look.." His voice is calm, steady, a stark contrast to the sharp sting radiating from your thigh. You press the pillow over your face, your breath shallow, waiting for it to end. He pauses, his hand brushing your skin. "Almost done." You feel his gaze on you, lingering, waiting for your reaction.
