My life in L.A : Part 2

It was 12:15p.m when I finally woke up the next day. I had to be at the shop fifteen minutes ago. "Shit!" My phone rang and Kristen's name was on the screen. Kristen was my new boss and the owner of the tattoo shop I was going to work at. "Hello..." I answered. "Hey Tat, where are yah, hun" Kristen said.

"I'm so sorry, I know I was supposed to be there at twelve but I crashed last night because I was exhausted" I explained. "Don't worry hun, you aren't doing any work yet, I just wanted to introduce you to the crew and your work station, hun" she said. I suddenly felt a gush of relief. I hate it when I don't get to a specific location on time, and I always expect people's reactions to be the worst. "I'll be there in a few minutes, if I can find my way around this city" I said.

"Alright babes, be careful not to get lost" Kristen said. I didn't mind her calling me hun, and babe, I guess its because she is much older and I'm such a "Younglin." I thought about taking Athena , and Blue but I didn't think dogs would be allowed in the shop so I left them home. I decided to walk over to the shop and used my phone's gps app to find my way. I had my bag with all of my tattoo supplies and art materials.

I was already late so I decided to run. I ran down my street and right when I turn the corner, I crashed into some guy. We were both running so the impact was very hard. We both fell to the ground and I was angry, very angry. "Jesus fucking Christ, man" I yelled because of the pain. I hit my lip some how and was bleeding a bit.

He wasn't so happy about the incident and his reaction was very unpleasant. I tend to stay away from trouble and I often try to reason before getting my hands dirty. This guy was not happy at all. "What the fuck, man. Why don't you watch where you're going next time" he said with anger. " I recall this being both of our faults, man. We were both running" I explained. I got up and tried to help him up too but he refused and got up by him self.

"Rude" I said under my breath but he heard it. He walked over to me and I automatically thought " he is going to hit me." He instead bumped into me and kicked my bag out of the way. His action triggered me and before I knew it, I was on top of him ready strike a fist to his temple.

Right before I did it, I remembered where i had to be so I quickly got off, took my bag and ran. It took me about 10 minutes to get to Kristen's shop and I walked in and was greeted my Tommy, he looked to be in his late 20's with blue eyes and short black hair spiked in the front. He was wearing a black T and it was tight enough to show off his muscular body." Hey man, you must be Tat, I'm Tommy I.....what happened to your lip, man." I had forgotten about my busted lip so my face had this confused and puzzled look.

"Oh.." I quickly said remembering. "Some dick and I ran into each other, and he wasn't happy about it" I explained. "So he busted your lip, dude?" he asked. "No, no, he didn't bust my lip. I don't know how I busted my lip but it was during the incident. I tried to help him up but he refused and walked over to me, kicked my bag was about to walk off, and before i knew it I was on top of him ready to hit him but then I remembered i had to be here" i explained.

Tommy laughed and gave me a hug. "Welcome to Voltage Tattoo, bother" he said. The shop had this almost gothic feel to it, not the whole" all back gothic style," more like the old European gothic style. It was a big open rectangular room with tattoo stations along both sides one the walls. The shop had a red velvet wall paper with weird designs and a bunch of paintings and photos of celebrities who, I'm guessing, got some ink done here. Right in front of the main entrance door was the front desk. It was a long black desk with the shape of a half-circle. I didn't spot Kristen right then until she walked out of, I'm assuming, her office.

She signaled me to walk over to her and I did. She showed me around the shop and introduced me to everyone. Tommy was oddly staring and smiling at me which I found quite adorable. The fact that he was hot made it even more adorable. I am not ugly. Some may even consider me hot. I have black curly hair long enough to cover my eyes but when starched out of it's spiral from, its down to my chin.

I had brown eyes and thin eyebrows which I shaped once a week. My skin is this sort of caramel shade, maybe a few shades darker. I was in shape because of gymnastics but I wasn't big. I could easily pass for Native American, but I am Latino. Both of my parents are from Puerto Rico, I however, was born in Brooklyn. We sat down and talked for a bit.

Everyone was friendly and down to earth. They asked if I had any tattoos, which I did. I also had piercings, 4 to be exact. "Yeah, I have a few tats" I said taking my shirt of I had a long-sleeve shirt on. I have a tattoo of dead tree on my left forearm. It was all black and it had a night background.

The background had shades of blues and blacks and my skin did excellent showing these colors. The tree had crows all over it and a red heart hanging from one of the branches. My right arm was almost covered with a wolf scenery mostly black and grey but all of the wolves had colored eyes. My right leg has a huge dream catcher. "Oh wow, nice ink you got there tat-bro" said Ricky, and they all agreed.

Ricky was another artist who worked there. "Thanks, I have a few piercings too, two of them I can't show" I said with a teasing smile. I have my tongue pierced, my tongue web, and my lorum. The last two are located on my genitals. "Ouch" said Tommy. "Believe it or not, my tongue web hurt more than all the other ones" I said.

Kristen got up and asked me to fallow her, she walked me over to my new station, it was next to Tommy's. "Great" I thought. I set everything up, tuned my machines and hung up a few drawings I had. Voltage tattoo was known for being the place where most celebrities went to get some ink done. I took me a few weeks to get used to seeing so many celebs.

I had already tatted a few and they were in love with my work thankfully. Today I had an appointment with Tyler H. He was an actor with amazingly good looks. I would always fan-girl over him so I was very nervous. The appointment was after hours because of his schedule so we would be the only ones in the shop. Tyler was best known for his role of a werewolf in the hit tv series Lone Wolves.

He is 6'0ft tall, green eyes and can see into you, thick eyebrows and a perfect square jaw line. Don't get me started on his cheek bones, boy those cheek bones were everything. His body was very defined and muscular and hairless, he always kept his face with hair like a five-o-clock shadow which was so attractive.

Since the shop was closed and no one was there I decided to bring athena, and blue with me. Tyler had my phone number so that way he could text me whenever he arrived. It was 11:45 when he finally texted. "Hey Tat, it's Tyler, I'm here." I jumped from my chair and it startled the dogs. I was so nervous.

I didn't want to seem like it so I played it cool like I would always do in these sorts of situations. There he was, standing in front of the glass door looking hotter than ever, wearing well fitted jeans, a white T and a black leather jacket, and finally a grey beenie. I didnt think he could pull off a beanie but he did it well. I let him in and we hugged, not a typical hug, more like the hug straight guys give while shaking hands. He smelled so good.

We walked over to my station and went over the design he wanted. He wanted a tribal on his upper right arm. I designed one and he really loved it. "It fascinates me how you can come up with things like that so quickly" he said. "I've always been able to draw" i explained. "People say I'm gifted but i think anyone can learn if they really want to" i continued. "How old are you, you look very young" he asked. "I'm 19" i answered.

"Wait you are 19 and you are working in one of the best shops around" he said with shock. " and you say you are not gifted" he continued with a smile. I smile back and i could feel my cheeks getting red. "Alright take off your shirt, lets get to it" i said to him. He did as i asked and my penis instantly got hard.

Luckily my jeans weren't tight so it wasn't noticeable. I cleaned the area on his arm and placed the stencil on it. I remove the stencil and got to work. He didn't even flinch when the needle first touched his skin. I tend to talk to my clients while thet are getting tatted to ake them feel comfortable. We talked about a lot of things.

I learned that he was single, which shocked me because last time i heard he was not single. "Don't believe everything you see on the web" he told me. He told me how he has not gone out to a club in a while and that he was planning on going tomorrow night. I was also going out with Kristen tomorrow night. I haven't danced in a while so i was ready to let loose. He said he was going to club aqua.

"Kristen and i are going to club aqua too" i said. "Cool, hopefully we run into each other. Maybe we can dance and you can show me your skills since you did brag about them" he said laughing. "Did he just say he wanted to dance with me?"i asked my self. "Could he be into me?" i thought. What are the chances of Tyler H. Being gay.

Then i remembered i was not openly gay. Should i tell him i am gay? Ill just let it happen on its own. I finished the tattoo in 4 hours. it wasn't a complicated tattoo anyway. I cleaned it up and walked to the the mirror in the fron of the store. "WOW!" he said. "This thing is amazing!" All of the sudden he hugged me. I guess he was really happy.

We talked for a little and he offered to walk me home. "I'm fine, I am not walking alone anyway" i said. I whistled and athena and blue came out of the storage room. Tyler was spooked at first. The dogs walked up to him and sat on his feet. That is a sign of authority, so i corrected them by snapping my fingers and saying "move."

"It's okay, they are fine" he said. "No, they sat on your feet, its a sign of authority" i explained. "Oh" he said with a confused look. Tyler still insisted in walking me home so i gave up and let him walk me home. Once we reached the front gate i thought about inviting him but. "You wanna come in?" i finally asked. "I cant i have to get going, my car is still parked over at your shop" he explained.

"Oh okay" i said. I must have a disappointed look because when i turned to walk inside, i felt someone grab my hand and pull me to them. When i realized it was Tyler, he was already kissing me. I couldn't believe it. I was kissing him, Tyler H. He forced his tongue inside my mouth and i immediately let him in. I could not believe it. I felt so weak and vulnerable but warm and fuzzy at the same time.

We parted our lips. "I'll see you tomorrow night" he said with a smile in his face. "Tomorrow night" i said. We both turned and he walked off while i stepped inside my house.
