coaxed you into paradise

Chapter Eight: Playing With Fire Description: Saera Targaryen was her father's forgotten daughter. Years following her marriage with Ser Harwin Strong, she catches him in an affair with her sister and seeks solace in the arms of her uncle. Not realizing that the consequence of their affair is just as dire as her sister's. (SMUT) masterlist

<<previous chapter

SAERA RUBS DAEGON'S BACK affectionately as they both sit down in one of The King's leather chairs. The entire fight in the courtyard had rattled the young lord, and prompted him to hug his mother in fear of it happening again. She glares at Harwin, "You couldn't have avoided it?" she spat as she continued rubbing circles unto her son's back.

She knew that Harwin was easy to anger, but she wasn't expecting him to cleverly maim Ser Criston. "He tried to stain my honor," he argued which earns him another glare from his wife. "He cannot stain what is already tainted. Do you not worry for your son?" she nagged as he rolls his eyes.

After Prince Joffrey's birth, Saera's anger for Harwin seemed to grow even further. Now the wall between the both of them multiplied and quadrupled in size.

Daemon sits beside Saera and attempts to soothe his son. "If Uncle Daemon were not there, one of you could've died." she imagined the worse and he lets out a loud exhale. It was a moment of fury, and it would not happen again.

"And none of us died. Everything was perfectly under control," Harwin asserted as he crosses his arms him a huff. There was a few seconds of silence between them, before the pitter-patter of Alyssa's footsteps drew the conversation to a halt.

"I heard about what happened!" she exclaimed as she runs towards her mother and sits on her lap. Harwin's face softened, before his anger returned once more. "Thank the seven gods that you weren't there. Heaven knows what could've happened." Daemon muttered as he hands Daegon a cup of water.

He rests his hand on Saera's shoulders, and Harwin looks at the both of them — his eyes trailing back and forth between his children, his wife and their uncle. The gears in his head turned slowly, as he comes to a dark realization.

That there had been something going on between his wife and her uncle. And judging from their gazes, it has been going on for quite a while now.

His hands turned into fists, and his palms quickly turned white. "Are you alright, papa?" Alyssa questions as she jumps from her mother's lap and touches her father's hands. But this time his face didn't soften, instead his heart thumped furiously as he notices the exchange between them both.

He clenches his teeth, and realizes that this was what he deserved. Whatever he did ten years ago, had finally come to haunt him. "Are you alright, Harwin?" Saera asked while staring at her husband's dauntless face.

The ringing in his ear stopped — and he nods reluctantly. "Yes," he lied through gritted teeth and she nods her head.

Not believing him one bit. But still deciding on letting him go.

DAEMON REACHES FOR HER HANDS, as he pins her down on his bed. She was beautiful when she writhed underneath him. He presses a kiss on her neck and inhales her lavender scent.

"Your husband is suspicious of us," he whispers as he trails kisses down her bare thighs. She reaches for his head and holds it firmly, "Fuck him." she curses out loud as she stares at him from below.

He was a conqueror — the blood of Aegon runs through both of their veins. He grins and trails his hand down her cunt, and another moan escapes from her lips. She couldn't care about Harwin now — not when a real man was about to fuck her.

"You like riding dragons, don't you?" he jokes and she glares at him. He always knows how to dampen the mood during sex. "Another one of these jokes and I'm going back to my room," she threatens as she flips their bodies. Having her on top, and him in the bottom.

He grabs a hold of her both her ass, and presses her wetness on his bulging dick. "Fuck," she curses loudly as she leans down and gives his lips another kiss. "If only your husband could see you now, a wanton whore — a little slut." he whispers on her ears and she grinds on his clothed cock.

He unbuttons his trousers, and she helps him throw it unto the floor. "I might warn you, I'm not a gentle master" she mutters as she goes down and positions her body to be facing his dick. "Better than no master at all," he replied as she leans down and licks his head.

Allowing her tongue to taste the saltiness of his penis. She allows her hands to rest on his thighs, letting herself dip in and take his cock fully. "Argh," he moans as his hips buck in pleasure.

"Demanding broad," she whispers underneath her breath. "Just get on with it," he exclaims as she chuckles and gives his cock another lick. His eyes closing from the pleasure he was feeling. She goes under for the third time and takes his length fully.

He was big and the girth didn't help — even after years of trying to get used to it. She gags but he keeps her head in place. Her head bobs, and she twists her tongue and gives him more pleasure.

He grunts and clutches the sheets with his left hand. "Fuck," he cursed loudly not thinking about the servants outside who could hear them. She bobs her head once more, and his grasp on her hair grew tighter.

She was a lewd sight, in between his legs and pleasuring him. He bites his lips, as she continues sucking him. "Stop," he commanded as she halted and looked up at him. "What?" she questioned as he reaches for her neck and pulls her up.

"I want to finish inside of you," he exhales as he grabs her neck and pulls her down with a kiss. "Ride me." he orders as she places both her cold hands on his shoulders. She inserts his penis unto her vagina, allowing him to watch the wanton sight.

"Gevie." he whispers as she thrusts down, allowing him to stretch her womb. "Seven hells." she closes her eyes as she tries to adjust to his size. He places both his hands on the small of her back. She thrusts for the second time, allowing his dick to pierce upon her cervix.

She didn't care that it pained her, she only wanted to keep thrusting. She keeps staring at his eyes - hypnotized by its lilac facade. "Daemon," she cries out as she continues riding him. "I love you." she confessed and he smiles.

"I love you too," he replies pressing a kiss on her bare shoulder. A knock interrupts the both of them, and a groan escapes from Daemon's lips. "Keep going." he smirks as she laughs lightly but keeps going.

Making sure that he would be distracted by her work. "Who is it?" he questioned as a servant clears their throat. "Something has happened in The East Wing, my prince. They are currently looking for Lady Laena." the servant announces and Saera stops her thrusting.

"Fuck," she curses as she walks off the bed and begins looking for her robes. "We need to go there, now!" she commands as he stands up from his bed reluctantly. The lust from his body still not dissipating from the news.

"They'll still be looking for her when we get there. Let's finish this ñuha dōna" he pleaded, a notion that earns him a glare from Saera. "Something could've happened to her, kepus." she replies as she desperately tries to fix her hair.

"She'll be fine, she's a strong girl." he whispers underneath his breath as she stands up and begins walking away from his room using a hidden passage.

HARWIN OFFERS HIS HAND TO SAERA, as a frown plays on his forehead. "Where were you?" he interrogated as she smiled at Alyssa who was trying not to fall asleep. "I could not sleep — I was out for a walk. Where is Daegon? Are you alright?" she questioned in return as he looks towards the burning wing.

"I could not find Daegon, but Alyssa tells me that he is with his cousins." he answered, failing to realize that Daemon was trailing behind his wife. But Rhaenyra did, and her suspicion only grew.

Saera and Daemon had always been close, even before her marriage to Ser Harwin — and even before the death of Lady Rhea Royce. Their gazes always lingered, and their jokes always made no sense. Rhaenyra often used to wonder if their father would give Saera to Daemon as bride.

But now she sees clearly. She isn't the only unfaithful one.

Aemond runs into the room clutching his eye, with Ser Criston Cole trailing behind him. "What happened?" Saera takes a step towards them as Criston calls for the Maester to aid the young prince.

"It was Lucerys, he cut my eye!" he exclaimed as he pointed his fingers towards Rhaenyra's children who were now just walking into the room. Saera frowns, this would certainly cost them.

Rhaenyra walks towards her sons and clutches Lucerys' bleeding nose. "What?" Alicent questions as the doors to the keep opened loudly. She walks towards her son and looks accusingly of Rhaenyra and Saera.

"I went to the Dragonpit and claimed a dragon, but they all worked against me." he explained his version of the story while Prince Jace scoffed. "Worked against you? Who?" Alicent interrogated her son and he points his finger at The Strong Children and Baela (Daemon's daughter.)

Alicent stands up in shock while Daemon places a protective hand on his children. "Claimed a dragon? What dragon do you speak of, child?" Saera queried and he crosses his arms in pride. "Vhagar," he smirks and her face falls to the ground.

Rhaenyra walks towards her sister and pulls her away from Alicent. "Vhagar? But that would mean— " she trailed off and stared at the East Wing, which was still burning.

"Oh no."

Bulletproof

oc pov the 100 divergent au

On choosing day, Alyssa is given the chance to escape the life of the factionless that she was born into, and find a place to belong.

But Dauntless is a dangerous place for people like her, and she's probably the worst at not drawing attention to herself.

i think hell is something you carry around with you. not somewhere you go.

sydney sweeney ; 18 ; she/her —— wow, ariel mackay sure has changed. i guess she is feeling isolated from the other slytherin members. guess you can’t really blame them. i still remember them being so dauntless & vehement now they just seem crude & self-destructive. guess being a muggleborn isn’t helping matters much either. i’m hopeful though. they’ll be just fine.

links: stats, pinterest, tag character inspo: eleanor shellstrop (the good place), effy stonem (skins), rebecca bunch (crazy ex-girlfriend), annie landsberg (maniac), alyssa (the end of the fucking world), rue bennett (euphoria) triggers: depression, substance abuse, parental death, suicide

ariel mackay never knew her father. in fact, her mother ( isabelle mackay ) isn’t even quite sure who the man is. the late fifties proved to be a tough time for poor old isabelle mackay, and it resulted in excessive alcohol consumption, a string of one night stands, and eventually the birth of her one and only daughter, ariel winter mackay, on april 3rd, 1960, when she was only twenty years of age.

ariel’s childhood was fun, but at the same time kind of rocky. i mean, issy didn’t have any family left, she was a single mum in the early sixties working a part-time secretary job and she had no idea how to raise a child. ari and issy spent a lot of time with issy’s friends, who became like aunts to ariel and allowed her to grow up surrounded by strong, independent women.

but ariel had a bit of a troublesome streak. it seemed as though chaos and destruction followed her everywhere she went, and it caused her to jump from school to school until she’d eventually been expelled from eight primary schools by the age of ten. issy could not understand what was wrong, she couldn’t explain certain things that happened around the little blonde girl because they were seemingly unexplainable, and she was starting to grow seriously worried until a tall woman with a big hat knocked on their door and introduced the mackay family to the world of magic.

ariel was honestly ecstatic to go to hogwarts. she’d always known that she was different to the other kids, that she was special, and this only went on the prove it. and now, surrounded by other kids the same as her, maybe she could finally find a place that she fit in - a place that she could call home.

she was sorted into slytherin after a minute of the hat sitting on her head, and at first she slotted right in with the rest of her housemates. they were all just as fun, ambitious and intelligent as her and she was excited to find a place that she belonged. but slowly she started to notice that still she was being treated differently - there was something about her that had other kids turning their noses and left her unable to befriend many of her housemates for the pure reason that they wouldn’t talk to her. the first time she was called a mudblood, she cried for days - she’d expected hogwarts to be welcoming and instead she was still that weird kid that everyone wanted to avoid.

of course, as she grew up, it became obvious that not everyone hated her. she started to hang out with more of the gryffindors in her year and sought out the people who weren’t disgusted by her ambiguous ( ‘tainted’ ) lineage. moving through her first, her second, her third year, she became quite popular amongst the student body, and her fun-loving, easy-going attitude attracted many boys and girls who wanted to befriend her.

a small hiccup arose in her third year, when a pattern of violent, depressed and manic behaviour began to show in her every day life. at the tender age of fourteen, ariel was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and at age fifteen was prescribed lithium in order to keep it in check. her tendency for manic episodes meant she had to tone down on her usually adventurous nature and had to keep a check on how many people she surrounded herself with - too many and she could be sent over the edge. though she was still widely popular and incredibly fun to be around, she wasn’t known to have many close friends and was sometimes noted to disappear for days without explanation and return as if nothing has happened.

PARENTAL DEATH TW: everything was all pretty smooth sailing for miss mackay until a few months before the end of her sixth year, when she received a letter detailing the horrific death of her mother, isabelle mackay, at the hands of a drunk driver. devastated could hardly begin to describe how ariel felt — it was as if her whole world was crumbling around her. her mother, her one true rock throughout all the pain and misery and heartache of her life was gone and now she had no one.

DEPRESSION/SUICIDE TW: after the death, ariel fell into a deep depression into which no one could pull her out. for a while she relied on substance abuse to even keep her going, but it was never enough. she completely isolated herself from everyone around her and allowed herself to fall deeper and deeper into her own depression. over the winter break of her sixth year, during which she had moved to her mum’s friends place in dublin, ariel finally completely broke and attempted suicide. of course, she was not successful, but after spending months in the hospital after this attempt, she finally spoke to a professional and started on the slow and bumpy road to recovery.

alycia ( her mum’s friend and now ariel’s caregiver ) was reluctant to allow ariel to return to hogwarts after the traumatic few months they had endured, but after much begging on ariel’s part, she finally relented. returning to hogwarts for her final year, it is clear that ariel is all but a different person. once the life of the party, the sassy and adventurous and fun-loving girl of her year, ariel is now much quieter and a lot less adventurous. she is still ever so dependent on alcohol and still talking to a psychologist within hogwarts ( as was requested by alycia ), and though it is clear that ariel mackay is all but a different person, she is trying her very best to once again be happy.

#incantareintro #i ! love! her :(

Alyssa Carson: First Person to Land on Mars

Summary: Alyssa Carson, as most American youngsters, has huge dreams, however the thing that matters is that she didn't just dream about it yet is making an honest effort to accomplish it. Her fantasy about visiting Mars could before long work out as expected. The fantasy could appear to be inadequate like numerous other adolescent dreams yet her arrangements demonstrate that she is as a rule intense about venturing a foot on Mars.

She is the most youthful individual to move on from Advanced Space Academy and the first to finish the NASA Space Camps in the United States, Canada, and Turkey. She is quick to visit every one of the 14 NASA's guest habitats in the USA and hence, she is right now the main individual to finish NASA Passport Program. She is chosen as one of the seven ministers for Mars One, the mission to go to Mars that is planned to be held in 2033.

The decision and the way towards accomplishing the fantasy has not been a smooth street. While the greater part of her kindred age mates are anticipating school, settling on subjects to do a Major, pondering effective vocations, their family, love-she has her objectives clear. She knows quite well, she probably won't return once she goes to Mars. Sources say that she is even prepared to go through physical and wellbeing difficulties to satisfy her iron-willed objective. Specialists say that she could go through surgeries for the expulsion of her tonsils before she sets for the mission to Mars.

The condition on Mars is unwelcoming and the solace would be a good way off 40 million miles away. The excursion would be to some degree like going through a passage that is stunningly quiet. Haziness, vacancy and frosty temperature-the circumstance is known to Alyssa.

According to her dad, Bert Carson, she had this fantasy since early on of 3. However the association with the current aspiration was rarely envisioned. He said in an interview,"Really I only sort of got that since she had this huge "Mission to Mars" Backyardigans banner in her room, so I can accept that that is the place where it came from,". He likewise said, "I simply don't have the foggiest idea what other place she would have been told with regards to Mars at such a youthful age." He informed that his girl isn't pursuing her fantasies indiscriminately however she knows about the brutal real factors. She wishes to be the voice of an age that has the dauntless soul that is relentless and is prepared to defeat any hindrances that come in the middle of their fantasies. Alyssa said that the advantages of her fantasy will ultimately offset every one of the dangers.

Her Career: In 2013, Carson was the primary individual to finish the "NASA Passport Program" visiting every one of NASA's fourteen guest places across nine states. She was then welcomed to take part as a specialist at the MER (Mars Exploration Rover) 10 Panel at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. In 2014, Carson was included as the Youngest Female Groundbreaker on the Steve Harvey syndicated program. Carson was included in the 2017 narrative The Mars Generation.

Carson independently published So, You Want to Be an Astronaut about her energy for space flight and has composed for The Independent. She has given TEDx talks empowering youngsters to seek after vocations in STEM in Kalamata, Greece Bucharest, Romania and Klagenfurt, Austria.

While often depicted by the media as an "space explorer in preparing", Carson isn't partnered with any public space program. NASA has freely expressed that the association "has no authority binds to Alyssa Carson", and independently that "in spite of the fact that Ms. Carson involves 'NASA' in her site name and Twitter and Instagram handles, we're not associated at all."[26] In 2019 Newsweek remedied a feature that had inferred that Carson's preparation was subsidiary with NASA. Snopes.com likewise has devoted a page to explain claims saying "Carson isn't in preparation with - or being prepared by - NASA to turn into a space explorer, or to partake in the principal human mission to Mars.

In 2019, Carson showed up on an episode of Ryan's Mystery Playdate. She is additionally much of the time talked with to examine her youth objective of turning into a space explorer and heading out to Mars. Carson has likewise been associated with a few space-related items including "space baggage" planned by Horizn Studios and support in the group in testing Final Frontier Design's spacesuit for the Canadian Space Agency central command. Carson advances footwear for Nike and home apparatuses for SodaStream.

Rae of Sunshine- Chapter 4 Halo

Pairing: Eric/OC

Fandom: Divergent

Rating: M

Summary: Rae thought Amity was where she belonged. Even with her dark past fuming inside of her, she had always done her best to suppress it. With Choosing Day approaching she was confident in her decision to stay in Amity. That is until a certain Dauntless Leader came roaring into Amity's gates. Once Eric has Rae in his sights he is willing to do anything to have her, even if that means breaking her and destroying the world she lives in.

I just started back at college and it seems this quarter’s gonna be a bitch so please bear with me! I will not give up on this story. I plan on seeing it through. I hope I tagged everyone who has asked to be tagged. If you want to be tagged please don’t hesitate to ask! Okay enjoy!

word count: 4,282

Tibby had asked Rae if she wanted to go make flower halos with her and a couple of the other girls. The Festival was in two days and the women had already started on preparing their attire for the event. Rae was thankful for Tibby’s invite, she needed some girl time and she had always enjoyed halo making. It was custom for the women to wear flower halos as a sign unity and love.

After their shift, most of the women headed to the greenhouse to start the halo proceedings. The greenhouse was absolutely spectacular around festival time. The florist paid extra attention to their supply of flowers knowing this was their busiest time of the year. Not a lot of the other factions called for flowers that often. Usually only Erudite made frequent orders to Amity’s greenhouse, but only for foliage plants, they claim that flowers are a distraction to the human brain.

As Rae and Tibby entered the greenhouse they were astonished by the array of flowers that cluttered the walls and shelves. The greenhouse was compacted full of Amity women running around gather roses, lilies, and daisies to adorn their halos.

The girls were thankful some of their other friends had saved them seats at their table when they entered. Alyssa, Fay, Melony and Nilly were gossiping over some Amity boys, when Rae and Tibby arrived at their table. “It’s about time you two showed up we’ve been waiting for hours.” Fay giggled. “Sorry got caught up talking about my new Dauntless boyfriend.” Tibby teased. The squealing that came from the group of girls was so loud it was deafening. Once they had calmed down the girls started roaming around the room to obtain the perfect array of flowers to decorate their halos.

Amity has never been physically competitive, but when it came to halos, the women go all out. Many would embellish their headpieces with huge hydrangeas, orchids, sunflowers, and roses. There was no prize for the most mesmerizing halo but everyone pretty much gave their opinion on which halo they think is the best. The women flocked to the brightest colored flowers in hopes of getting the prominent flower that was in that year. This year the more exotic the flower, the more notice you would get.

Rae never gave much thought into her halo, while others stressed over theirs year round. She liked not planning and being spontaneous in picking her flowers. She had eyed the orchids when they had walked in and thought they would suit her well this year. As Rae made her way through the flower-crazed mob she was arms length from the chosen flower when a hand swooped in snatched the orchids from their vase. Rae looked up to see whom the culprit was only to be faced with Cara’s wicked smile.

“I just love orchids. Don’t you? Oops did I… Did I just take the last one? Well, I probably did you a favor, orchids just don’t seem like your type of flower. So you're welcome.” She boasted, throwing Rae a vile grin. Rae watched Cara walk away towards other flamboyant flowers. Rae grazed over all the other popular flowers that were quickly disappearing.

Once the crowd of women had demolished the assortment of flowers, Rae was left with only a few choices. She looked throughout the whole greenhouse before settling on tiny white flowers. She liked the simplicity of them, and the calmness they brought when looking at them deeply.

“Baby’s breath a personal favorite of mine. It means everlasting and undying love.” A soft voice said from behind her. Rae turned to see the sweet voice belonged to one of the oldest florist named Mabel.

“Ms. Mabel, how are you?” Rae said cheerfully. “I’m wonderful, dear. How are you?” she asked.

“I’m great just getting ready for the festival you know ‘halo time’” Rae joked.

“Oh yes! I know its one of our busiest time of the year. How your grandfather? Will he be at the festival?” Mabel asked. “Yes he’ll be there I’ll mention, you asked about him.” Rae said with a knowing smile.

“Oh don’t bug him about little old me. But tell him I do expect a dance or two. I want to see if the old man still has some moves left in him.” She surmised. “I will let him know his duties for that night.” Rae smiled trying to contain her laughter.

“It will be a night to remember. Oh! I’m very excited to hear you sing. Your mother used to sing all the time.” Rae’s smile softened at the mention of her mother. “I think baby’s breath is perfect for you, you’re already so radiant why try to overshadow that with some dull flowers.”

“Thank you. I think they’re absolutely lovely.” Rae added. Mabel nodded and moseyed towards a table full of overly excited adolescent girls.

When Rae made it back to her table, Tibby was already spilling about her twenty-four hour relationship with Zeke. The other girls were captivated with Tibby’s story on how Zeke had found out where she had lived and had taken her on a “walk.”

“He has two piercings.” Tibby cooed. “I only saw one.” Rae claimed. “I know he told me he’d show me the other at the festival.” Tibby articulated with a sly grin. The girls around the table squealed with giddiness. Rae groaned in disgusted at the proclamation.

“So what about you and Joshua? Will the festival be a “big night” for the two of you?” Alyssa asked.

Rae smiled at the question and continued to work on her halo. “Oh come on Rae don’t leave us without the details!” Nilly begged.

“It’s not Joshua you should be asking about.” The whole table jerked to Cara who was leaning on the table fiddling with her halo. “You should be asking about a certain Dauntless leader. I heard he got pretty hands on with a certain Amity girl. Rumors of course. Unless you have a confession to make.”

Rae was fuming and wanted to reach across the table a sling Cara across the room. “There’s nothing going on between me and Eric.” Rae defended. “Already on a first name basis. Rae I never took you for the type, but then again there’s probably a lot of things we don’t know about you.” Cara asserted. “I mean I don’t blame you for wanting something a little more adventurous. Joshua was pretty adventurous with me so I understand where you're coming from. Anyway, do you like my halo?” She then added, pointing to her flamboyant array of flowers.

Rae felt her eyes water at Cara’s words. She knew Joshua and Cara were a couple at one point in time but she didn’t think he would ever sleep with her. Tibby knew the comments had hurt Rae deeply and decided she wouldn’t let it stand.

“Oh yeah! I love your halo! Maybe if you add a banana you make your own ecosystem on your big fat head.” Tibby barked. Cara just grinned, “I love how plain you went with your's Rae. It matches you perfectly.” She then sauntered away from the table leaving Rae on the verge of tears and Tibby fuming.

“She’s lying. We all know she’s lying. You okay? She just said that to be a bitch. Joshua would never touch her Rae.” Tibby assured her.

“I think your halo is really pretty, Rae.” Nilly confessed, giving Rae a comforting smile. “Thank you, Nilly.” Rae said pushing back her tears.

After the girls completed their halos, Mabel had them put their halos in a special room to preserve the flowers until the festival. Rae needed to get to Joshua and ask him about Cara. Tibby walked with her towards the dome so they could talk about their plans for the day of the festival.

“So you’re still coming over to get ready right?” Tibby asked. “Yeah of course.” Rae said quietly still thinking about Cara and Joshua.

“Rae stop! She’s a bitch and just said that to upset you. You know Joshua, he would never do something like that, especially with Cara. He'd been crazy about you for years he would fuck that up for Cara.” Tibby proclaimed. “I know and your probably right but I need to hear him say that.” Rae said.

Once they made it to the Dome Tibby met up with Zeke who was waiting for her. Rae left her friend to her own demise to go find Joshua. She went to where they usually rehearsed to find him playing his guitar.

“Rae I’m glad you came I thought about sending a search party.” He said with a warm smile. Rae couldn’t help but feel light at his greeting it was like Cara’s words had melted away. It was now just Joshua and her playing their music. Rae felt whole with Joshua and Cara couldn’t change that.

After their short rehearsal, Joshua started messing with Rae’s hair running his fingers through her hair. The feeling was sensational but then Rae remembered Eric’s warning and jerked away. “What’s wrong?” he questioned at her sudden reaction. “Nothing its just I have to go.” She poorly lied.

“Is this about Eric? Did he tell you not to come near me?” He asked. “Not necessarily.” Rae said. “Look I just don’t want him to hurt you because of me. It’s only temporary, once he’s gone everything will go back to normal.” Rae added.

“I just don’t see why he thinks he has the right to control you. We shouldn’t have to hide.” Joshua said pulling Rae into him with her pushing against him. “Joshua, please. Not here, not now. Not while he’s roaming around. You’re not safe with me. Please just try to keep your distance from me. I can’t see you hurt.” Rae begged. “We still have a song to play Rae.” He objected. “I know that’s why we’ll sing the song then go our separate ways after. Stay away from me at the festival Joshua. Please.” Rae commanded.

“Alright.” Joshua answered shortly and made his way out the room leaving Rae cold and alone.

Walking out of the building Rae felt drained of all energy. She kept telling herself that Joshua understood what was at stake, not only his life but also her happiness. She could never forgive herself if something were to happen to him on her account.

As she neared the warehouse, she heard a sudden commotion and what sounded like gunshots followed by screaming. Rae ran as fast as she could to the crowd of people that formed a thick wall from the scene she so eagerly wanted to see. After pushing through the crowd, her eyes rested on a starved, frightened man. The Dauntless soldiers held him on the ground at gunpoint. The man was so dirty and tattered he looked to be older, but behind the grime and unkempt hair was a younger man, who was barely twenty-five.

Rae watched on at the brutality that was being put on display for all to see. The soldiers aimed millimeters from the poor man’s foot causing him to move in a frantically. They laughed at his movement yelling at him to “dance” for them. The battered man fell to the ground from exhaustion. Rae watched as two apples roll from his tattered rags. The man scattered to grab the two pieces of fruit that meant life or death to him, but was stopped by a big black boot that crushed his hand. The screech that came from the man’s throat made Rae cringe.

“Please! Please! I have a family! They need to eat or they’ll starve! Please!” he screamed.

“Now you know the five factions have set a side enough rations for you and the rest of the Factionless.” One soldier sneered.

“You mean scraps! You leave us so little! We barely have enough strength to fight over the rubbish you call food. There are people dying out there, women and children starving to death!” the man preached.

“Well it’s not my fault you guys decided to reproduce.” The soldier laughed. Rae could hardly contain herself. She wanted to stop this. It wasn’t right, all the man was trying to do was feed his family.

Before Rae could voice her opinion Eric, along with two other men, were marching towards the crowd.

“Ah Eric look what we have here.” The soldier called out to him before kicking the already battered man. “A thief! He’s already confessed to his crimes and we took it upon ourselves to demonstrate what happens to thieves.” He said proudly.

Eric’s face was blank to the emotions that were coming in every direction. He whispered to the man that stood beside him. The man then began walking over to the factionless prisoner with the other man following. Both of the men bent down and took the poor creature by the arms carrying him away from the buzzing crowd.

“Hey! Where are they taking him he hasn’t gotten his deserved punishment!” the soldier yelled and began to follow until Eric stepped in front of him blocking his way.

“I’m going to suggest that you not follow suit and return to your duties.” Eric said calmly while looking deep into the soldier’s eyes. The soldier complied with Eric’s demands by nodding his head slowly and began to step around him. Eric reached out to the man’s shoulder pulling him roughly into him. “If you ever pull a stunt like that in front of other civilians again, you’re going to regret the day you ever stepped foot into Dauntless. Do I make myself clear?”

“Yes sir! It won’t happen again, sir!” the soldier answered. “Good now get back to work.” Eric commanded. As the terrified soldier walked off the crowd dispersed with him. Rae stared at Eric and was surprised he didn’t continue the cruelty with his fellow comrades like he usually did. Eric gave Rae a nod causing her to continue in her direction she was heading before stumbling on the unfortunate mishap.

It was nice to be back in the stables with Poppy. It had been a while since Rae had enjoyed the company of the thorough breeds that stood around her. The smell of hay and manure tickled her nose as she furthered into the stables in search of Poppy.

“Poppy? Are you in here?” Rae called out gazing upon the magnificent creatures that rested in each box stall.

“Over here Sweet pea.” Poppy hollered from one of the last stalls. Rae peered into the stall to find a very pregnant mare and Poppy feeling around her swollen womb. “Wow is that Daisy? She’s huge! When is she due?” Rae asked, stepping into the stall cooing at Daisy, while gently stroking her neck.

“It should be in the next two weeks. I’m amazed she hasn’t popped yet, honestly, she’s as big as a whale!” Poppy said making Daisy snort to his comment. “A pretty whale,” Poppy assured her, letting her relax.

After feeding Daisy they left her to eat and moved on to one of Rae’s favorite riding horse, Luna. Rae first learned how to ride Luna when she was little and has since then had a special bond with her. She had always loved her porcelain white coat contrasting with her gray muzzle and legs. Rae entered her stall cooing at her, slowly approaching her from the side. She began stroking Luna’s neck just as she did Daisy. Once Luna had recognized Rae, she started nudging Rae with her nose allowing Rae to caress the bridge of her nose.

“I missed you too, girl.” She whispered getting a gentle nickering sound from Luna in return. Rae smiled as she continued petting her beloved Luna. “It’s been a while since you two went riding. Want to take her out for a spin?” Poppy asked. Rae looked to Luna and smiled. “What do you say, girl? Want to go for a ride?” Rae asked getting an approving sound from Luna.

It was nice to go riding again for Rae. She hadn’t done it in so long she forgot the feeling of freedom she got when riding. The faster Luna went the more Rae felt like she was escaping from all her problems with Cara, Joshua, Dauntless and Eric. She could tell Luna was enjoying the fresh air and the freedom to roam around the compound. As the fresh air filled their lungs, they kept going, letting out all the worries and struggles they were facing. After a successful ride, Rae and Luna made their way back to the stables.

When they got back, Poppy was gone and left a note for Rae saying ‘There was an emergency out on the cow pasture. Seems that some old bull is having his own rodeo with some of the heifers. I’ll be back as soon as I can.’ Rae decided she would brush and feed Luna while waiting for Poppy’s return.

After removing all of the riding gear, Rae brought Luna over to a water trough and began brushing her. In a soft soothing voice, Rae began to sing as she brushed Luna.

*Once there was a way, To get back homeward.

Once there was a way To get back home.

Sleep, pretty darling, Dot not cry And I will sing a lullaby.

Golden slumbers, Fill your eyes Smiles await you when you rise Sleep pretty darling Do not cry And I will sing a lullaby.*

Rae came to an abrupt stop when Luna started to become skittish and snort. Rae did the best to calm her, but Rae became aware that she wasn’t the only person in the stable. She turned to who she knew was already there.

“Eric.”

“Hello Sunshine.”

Rae rolled her eyes at his chosen nickname for her and turned back to Luna who had calmed down when seeing that Rae wasn’t scared of the new intruder. Eric watched with extreme supervision as Rae she handled Luna, leading her back to her stall.

“What are you doing here? You know horses are extremely good judges of character, right?” Rae sneered at him. “Oh Sunshine, you don’t know me well enough.” He rejected. “Oh I think I know you well enough.” Rae said.

Eric started walking closer to where Rae was but stopped when a copper-colored horse poked its head out of its stall curious of the new intruder. He obliged the horse and began caressing under its jaw. The horse seemed to be enjoying the attention and for a split second so did Eric, Rae noticed. Eric then directed his attention to Rae, “They are good judges of character.”

“What are you doing here Eric?” Rae questioned. “I saw you riding earlier. I didn’t know you could ride.” He said in an interested tone. Rae was surprised Eric had taken an interest in her hobbies. “I’ve been riding ever since I was little it’s like walking for me now.” She stated. “Interesting. I also didn’t know you could sing that good.” He mused as he kept getting closer to her. Rae felt her cheeks turn red from his comment, he had heard her sing the very last thing she wanted. “You’re good really good not shit like the other Amity girls who seem to think they can carry a tune.” Rae couldn’t help but let out a small laugh and realized what she had done.

Eric stepped closer, she knew where this was going. “You have a nice laugh.” He said seductively. Rae could feel the riding crop behind her and went to grab it. As Eric tried to close the space between them Rae stopped him by hitting him in the chest. Eric looked down at the riding whip and grinned. “Now how did you know that’s my favorite toy.” He smiled.

Eric leaned in close to Rae’s neck moving his face along her skin taking in her scent. Rae was frozen to the sensation he was causing her. She focused on keeping her breathing deep and slow trying to keep her heartbeat down. “I can feel you. Your heartbeat. You can’t hide from me sunshine.” He whispered. Rae grabbed his bicep not knowing to bring him closer or to push him away. She gripped his solid, hard as stone muscles and was amazed by the fitness of his body. He was straight up muscle, a wall of hard solid tissue. Rae looked up meeting Eric’s gaze, wondering what he was going to do next.

“Well, I’ll tell you what! If those idiots down at the cow pasture could learn how to properly barb-wire a fence then maybe we wouldn’t be having cow orgies every night!” Poppy yelled as he entered the stables. Rae slide away from Eric to make it seem like what just transpired did not happen. Poppy entered the stables looking at the two faces staring back at him. There was an awkward silence that stood for a couple of minutes until Eric was annoyed.

“You must be Poppy. I’ve heard so much about you. I’m Eric one of the leaders at Dauntless.”

“Ah yes. You the one everyone’s buzzing about. Well nice to meet you, Eric.” Poppy greeted sticking his hand out. Eric accepted the friendly gesture and reached out to shake Poppy’s hand.

Eric had heard of Poppy from numerous amounts of people. Poppy wasn’t quite what Eric expected, when he was told Poppy was one of the oldest Amity members, he pictured an older, frailer looking man. But the handshake he received said other wise. Although Poppy could match Eric’s strength fully he could keep up, the handshake was strong and unwavering just how Eric liked it.

“Well, I hope my Rae has been helpful showing you around the stable.”

“Oh yes. She has she was just showing me the riding crop.” Eric said smiling at Rae. Rae was still gripping the crop tightly, embarrassed by the whole meet and greet. Poppy was about to continue the conversation when a raucous came from one of the stalls. “Damn it! Let me tell you that stud has caused me more problems than he’s worth.” Poppy confessed.

They all moved the stall where the stallion was held. He was a beautiful creature jet black with a small white diamond on his forehead. “He’s a beautiful animal.” Eric complimented. “Oh he beautiful and strong too. The type of horse a man could only dream of, but he so god damn stubborn and reckless.” Poppy huffed.

“Sounds like someone I know.” Rae chimed while getting a glare from Eric.

After Poppy had calmed down the black beaut he told Rae to head home because he would be working late. “If you don’t mind I’d like to escort Rae home if that’s alright with you?” Eric asked out of courtesy even though he really didn’t care for Poppy’s answer.

“Of course! I’ll feel quite relaxed knowing my Sweet pea is being escorted home by a Dauntless leader!” Poppy answered making Rae feel even more embarrassed. Eric smiled at the nickname, which Rae knew she would hear about later. Rae said goodnight to Poppy and gave him a hug and a peck on the cheek.

“Well, Goodnight Poppy.” Eric said shaking Poppy’s hand again.

“Goodnight and thanks again for taking Rae home.”

As Rae and Eric walked out, Poppy couldn’t help but chuckle to himself.

“Nice guy. Hmm well, I like him.” Poppy said to himself.

The walk home was mostly silent until Rae’s house came into view. She wanted to ask Eric about the Factionless man and what would become of him.

“So what happen to that man you arrested this afternoon?”

“He was taken in for questioning and will receive the appropriate punishment,” Eric said not looking at her.

“It wasn’t right what your men did. He was only trying to feed his family.”

“Do you even know how many times that card been pulled? A lot and when you excuse them of stealing they continue to do it, making them think they can get away with more harmful crimes like murder or rape. You can’t give these people an inch or they’ll use and abuse it. That’s why Amities full of bullshit. You all are so naïve when it comes to people. You let anyone walk all over you.”

“That’s not true! People need help but can’t get any because of people like you! You and your men just want to cause pain because it entertains you! You're sick! All you cause is violence and chaos! You don’t help anyone out!” She yelled as she ran to the door. Rae opened the door halfway before it was shut by Eric’s massive hand.

“Hey! Do you actually think I want a rebellion on my hands because of what those idiots did today? No. I don’t have the patience for it. I want control. I have control. I keep the order that’s needed for everyone to survive. Because as hard as this is for your pretty little head to believe, not all people are nice. Amity needs Dauntless around so that when someone does walk all over you, we’re here to stop it. Face it Sunshine we control everything.”

“You don’t control me!” Rae said defiantly.

“That’s what you think. Why don’t you go to bed sunshine, you look a little frazzled.” Eric said grinning as he turned and walked away.

Rae turned to open the door once again before hearing Eric call out to her again.

“Oh and Sunshine! I’m really excited about the Festival. I have a feeling it’ll be a night to remember!” he yelled making Rae cringe.

• 30 years ago in white supremacy, we had a strategy called leaderless resistance. The concept was: stop shaving our heads, stop getting tattoos and instead try to blend in as much as possible. It was a really concerted effort to try and tone down the rhetoric and make it a little more palatable to the mainstream. And it certainly has penetrated the mainstream now. We’re seeing people who were supportive of our cause back then also supportive of Donald Trump’s cause, certainly with the recent cabinet appointments. – Christian Picciolini • A cool tattoo design is any drawing that would also look good saggy. – Demetri Martin • A good tattoo always has a story that runs deeper than the skin, and Inked tells that story. – Tara Dakides • A label is a soul-tattoo that is ingrained deep in our hearts, so much so that it determines how we see ourselves, And how we see ourselves determines how we live… A destructive label leads to a destructive life. There is a soul thief, a dark enemy, who wants to nail ruinous labels to your heart so that he can steal your life. Jesus wants to give you life giving labels that release your potential for the good of the world. – Derwin L. Gray • A lot of my friends have tattoos; I realized that it’s not only just a part of pop culture, but a bit of a map on someone’s body, which says something about people. A part of their life, like an armor or a crest. – Christian Louboutin • A tattoo doesn’t make you look like an individual. – Tony Parsons • A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye. As a tattoo is grounded on living skin, so its essence emotes a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition. – V.

Leave a good-looking tattoo. – Ed Westwick • Bikers, in general, have just been so attractive to people.

He made a big impression on me as a kid. And I have pretty big earlobes. – J Mascis • I don’t think there are any songs that I’ve written in the past that I now disagree. It’s kind of like tattoos; I would never regret a tattoo, because it was how I felt at that time in my life. I don’t think I’ve ever said anything that I would take back. So far, so good! I would probably change the music, or change how I sing it, maybe do it a little bit cooler, or a bit more grown-up. But I don’t think that there are any lyrics that I regret. – Emeli Sande • I dropped my pants in a tattoo parlor in Amsterdam.

When my pants hang low, it looks like I’m wearing a dagger! – Angelina Jolie • I feel like the last tattoo you got is usually your favorite. – Nico Tortorella • I felt bad about myself because certain people were relentlessly attacking me and my reputation.

I’m a diehard Dylan fan, and my dad and I joke that if I ever met him, I’d have him sign his name right under my tattoo and then I’d run to the parlor to get his signature tattooed. – Carly Chaikin • I have no love for myself as a human being, but I have immense pride in the music I make, and I believe it has an important place.

The problem is that if I have that one beer, I wake up in Tijuana four days later with a tattoo and a sore ass. – Craig Ferguson • I just feel like this skin is mine. It’s aging every day and the tattoos are aging with me. So, I’m going to be an old piece of paper one day with a lot of work on it. – Maria Dahvana Headley • I know people say ‘what about when you’re old and you’re covered in tattoos?’ – so what. Anyway, in time to come everyone will have them and it will be all the trend, won’t it? ‘Cuz you don’t know how the times are gonna change. – Cher Lloyd • I like the bad-boy types. Generally the guy I’m attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He’s usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar. But my serious boyfriends are relatively clean-cut, nice guys. So it’s strange. – Megan Fox • I love math. I have little secret number tattoos everywhere. I design them. – Pauley Perrette • I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm. At a subconscious level, I connect to this warrior and model myself on his discipline, skills and honour. There is also a tribal tattoo and a Chinese symbol of faith. I have seen a lot of people getting tattoos just because it’s a trend. – Virat Kohli • I love Tinkerbell because she’s feisty and about it. She’s got swag! She’s going to do what she wants to do. I even have a Tinkerbell tattoo, and she is wearing Adidas flip-flops! – Kidada Jones • I love to make music, I love to get tattoos…That’s just what I love. If I wasn’t getting paid I’d still do it. – Kevin Gates • I need to know you believe me when I say I love you. That is all.” “I believe everything you say,” Tessa said with a smile, her hands creeping doen from his waist to his weapons belt. Her fingers closed on the hilt of the dagger, and she yanked it from the belt, smiling as he looked down at her in surprise. “After all,” she said, “you weren’t lying about the tattoo of the dragon of Wales, were you? – Cassandra Clare • I never had any desire to get a tattoo. If I was ever going to get one, I would get a plain anchor with a rope around it, the most unimaginative possible tattoo, like Popeye had. – John Waters • I never thought about getting any tattoos removed. – Henry Rollins • I never watched those Spice Girls. I didn’t enjoy that at all. So I didn’t know Victoria Beckham well. But she came out with this pretty boy, got married, and the boy got more tattoos and more tattoos. And then I met her a few times, and we started work, and something happened. You know, she wanted it. She loves what she’s doing. – Manolo Blahnik • I probably have the crappiest tattoo — not only in country music — but maybe the world. – Blake Shelton • I really think if you have a tattoo you have to wonder about what kind of future you have ahead of you. As an employer, I wouldn’t employ someone with tattoos as I would wonder what customers would think about them. For me, tattoos are just a way for people to find attention who haven’t found another way in their life to achieve it by conventional means. – Katie Hopkins • I removed the window [tattoo] because, while I used to spend all my time looking out through windows wishing to be outside, I now live there all the time. – Angelina Jolie • I sort of tend to equate tattoos with prisoners, punks or people with a high level of self-confidence. I don’t necessarily have a covered-in-tattoos personality. – Lena Dunham • I think I have enough tattoos for now. If I get any others, I’ll probably do my kids initials. – Niki Taylor • I think if you’re gonna get a tattoo, just get one: the words, ‘I’m dumb.’ That’s it. That way in 10 years, when you go, ‘Why did I get this?,’ you can be like, ‘Oh, I’m dumb!’ – Daniel Tosh • I think when tattoos are new and colorful, they look bad. But they look better the older and more bleached out they become. – Urs Fischer • I try to really capitalize off of what other rappers really can’t do. There are opportunities that rappers I love simply can’t get, because… you know… I don’t have the tattoos; I have a different image. – Drake • I used to have a sister, but I never got to meet her because she died after two days, I think. So if I got a tattoo, it would probably have to be something to do with my sister. – Chloe Grace Moretz • I want to get married but I look at husbands the same way I look at tattoos. I want one, but I can’t decide what I want, and I don’t want to be stuck with something I’d grow to hate and have surgically removed. – Margaret Cho • I wanted alot of tattoos but I never thought I was gonna be this rediculous. – Synyster Gates • I was a prefect at school, I never had a tattoo, got a detention or pierced my ears more than once. – Amanda Holden • I was just a big fan of tattoos always growing up, and I wanted something cool that symbolizes what I’ve been through in my life, and everything on my chest and my back is like a collage. – Kevin Durant • I went to this tattoo parlor in the East Village and I got an outline of a violin on my lower back. They call them tramp stamps now. – Katherine Moennig • If the body is a temple, then tattoos are its stained glass windows. – Sylvia Plath • I’ll never have a tattoo – I just don’t like them, and when you’re old they can look a disaster. As for piercings, I don’t like them on men. – Rafael Nadal • I’ll tell you this, lad: A tattoo says more of a fellow looking at it than it can do of the man who’s got it on his back. – Sarah Hall • I’m a big fan of zombies, and I have a zombie tattoo on my leg. – Tyler Posey • I’m a tearless clown. If I were to get a tattoo, it would be the two masks, and they would be both smiling. – Andy Samberg • I’m addicted to tattoos. I can’t stop; I love them. – Adrianne Palicki • I’m celebrating my love for you with a pint of beer and a new tattoo – Billy Bragg • I’m definitely in the market for being uncool. There was some funny stuff, like the thing about making sure I show people that I have tattoos and cigarettes so that they know I’m badass. But really, I do have tattoos! And I do smoke cigarettes sometimes, and I can’t change that. But I am not badass, by any means. I do some stuff that’s tongue-in-cheek, and some stuff that’s on the line. And it could be funny, it could be serious, and I never even know myself, because it could be funny that day, and the next day it’s totally embarrassing. – Ryan Adams • I’m not enthused by these rap dudes. All in they videos, posin’ half nude, with all of them tattoos, Til I blacken they eyes and have them lookin’ like raccoons. – Trife Diesel • I’m such a profound believer that timing is everything; I would tattoo that on my arm. – Drew Barrymore • I’m waiting to get old – I think old guys with tattoos look good.- Ryan Gosling • It wasn’t the tattoo that had changed her, had given her repossession of her body. It was her actions, her choices. It was finding the path when it looked like there weren’t any paths to be found. – Melissa Marr • It’s hard to say conversation has become a minimal thing, because look at the rise of mobile communications in the last 10 years. It used to be only the President had a mobile phone. Now everyone on earth, even if they have nothing else, they have a cell phone. It’s a larger anthropological shift in my mind than even the tattoo age in the United States. – Padgett Powell • Its interesting, the things you learn when youre 21. I learned never to get tattoos in the middle of shooting a movie. Because if youre not Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox, they will fire you. – Katee Sackhoff • It’s more likely I’ll dye my hair green, get a bunch of tattoos and go on tour with Amy Winehouse. – Mike Huckabee • I’ve always described parts as tattoos. For actors our tattoos are in the form of films. – Eric Bana • I’ve come to realize that Barack Obama is the tattoo president. Like a big tattoo, it seemed cool when you were young. But later on, that decision doesn’t look so good, and you wonder: what was I thinking? But the worst part is you’re still going to have to explain it to your kids. – Tim Pawlenty • I’ve got nothing against tattoos. I don’t have one myself. If I did, it would be right there next to my watch. It would say “Your wife’s birthday is August 2nd, your anniversary is September 18th, don’t let Ron White drive your car again.” – Jeff Foxworthy • Johnny Depp is like a brother to me. We have matching tattoos on our backs – Charles Baudelaire, the flowers of evil, this giant skeleton thing. It’s kind of a secret. People say to us, ‘Why did you get that?’ And we say, ‘No reason.’ – Marilyn Manson • Just saw a woman with a big tattoo of Jesus on her back. I guess it’s an ixnay on the oggy style-day. – Dana Gould • Man, I’m messed up right now. My best friend is my father? The man I idolized as a kid… whose tattoo is on my arm… And he’s younger than me. Yeah, I don’t think I can handle this. Mindwipe me, somebody… please! Where’s that dragon from Sanctuary? Simi, go get Max. I need him. – Sherrilyn Kenyon • Marriage is supposed to be permanent. It’s like a tattoo that yells at you. – Dov Davidoff • Maybe. Although I doubt most Shadowhunters get a tattoo of Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on their left shoulder. – Cassandra Clare • Mildred waves Carlos over. ‘Let me look at you.’ She eyes him up and down. ‘I saw you when you walked in. What’s with all those tattoos? Makes you look like a hooligan.’ ‘I suspect I am a hooligan,’ he says to her. ‘Whatever that means. – Simone Elkeles • My body is a journal in a way. It’s like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist. – Johnny Depp • My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story. – Johnny Depp • My favorite action movie growing up was ‘Supergirl.’ It wasn’t good by any stretch of the imagination, but it was my favorite because I wanted to be her. I have a Supergirl tattoo. – Adrianne Palicki • My favorite tattoo right now is the one on my lower stomach that reads “Almost Famous” because as my career grows I’m still humbled every morning when I look at that tattoo, and I’ll always remember how much it sucked to ALMOST be famous. – Machine Gun Kelly • My first tattoo is a full-on Sailor Jerry situation on my hip – it’s a swallow with big spread wings. When I got it I was 20 on St. Mark’s Place in New York; I just walked in in a frenzy. It’s still there 17 years later and it’s not a terrible thing to look at. – Maria Dahvana Headley • My friends are coming up – they run this tattoo parlour out there and they’re gonna ink me up with the tattoo I’ve been wanting since I was two, right here, upper arm. – Charlie Benante • My ideal guy is my future husband. Not sure who he is yet, but he’s out there. What impresses me in a gay guy? A warm smile, stubble, easy to talk to, thoughtful tattoos, kind eyes, wit, positivity, wanderlust, ambition, and a cute ass. – Tyler Oakley • My mom actually took me to get my first tattoo when I was 15. She highly regrets that choice now, as I have a lot more. – Nico Tortorella • My new one (tattoo) says ‘Never a failure, always a lesson’ and is kind of my mantra to life, just a reminder. My life is just a crazy rollercoaster every day and whenever I read that it just reassures me. – Rihanna • My new tattoo is Jesus being carried by three cherubs. Obviously the cherubs are my boys. At some point they are going to need to look after me. That’s what they’re doing in the picture. It means a lot. – David Beckham • My only advice is don’t tattoo some guy’s name on yourself. Ever. I’ve done it twice. Twice! I’m in the process of getting both removed. It’s the most painful thing imaginable. – Diora Baird • My tattoo is a phoenix. I got the first when I was 16. I hid it for years. – Ashley Scott • My tattoo is of a cannon in Vancouver that I got in a fleeting moment of stupidity maybe 14 years ago. A lot of people have really beautiful tattoos, and I get real tattoo envy. But then other people basically just treat them like bumper stickers for their bodies. – Ryan Reynolds • My tattoo is that I don’t have a tattoo. – Michael J. Fox • My tattoos are like a scrapbook of my life. Sometimes you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin, so covering it up with pictures helps – Frank Iero • My tattoos are reminders to hang in there when things get rough. – Demi Lovato • My whole thing was, just being me. Now, you look around the NBA and all of them have tattoos, guys wearing cornrows. Now you see the police officers with the cornrows. I took a beating for those types of things. – Allen Iverson • No one wants to see a tattoo on a stomach. – Lena Dunham • Not one great country can be named, from the polar regions in the north to New Zealand in the south, in which the aborigines do not tattoo themselves. – Charles Darwin • Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo. But it’s a real beauty, a Mexican cutie, how it got here I haven’t a clue. – Jimmy Buffett • One of the beauties of ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ is the very delicate and strange relationship between the two main characters. – Stellan Skarsgard • One of the series I like is D.M. Cornish’s ‘Monster Blood Tattoo,’ in which he creates a whole language. Kids who are reading that are building a language in their heads. There’s no real cognitive difference. I think kids are excited by language, and they’re not always given credit for that. – Matthew Tobin Anderson • One person’s tattoo is nobody else’s business – Don Ed Hardy • Painting and tattooing the body is a return to animalism. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe • Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality. – Salvador Dali • People are proud of their tattoos. It’s like a modern coat of arms. -Christian Louboutin • People have asked me, what about your tattoos when you’re ninety? Why would it bother me then? I would still want to get tattooed even when I’m a grandmother. – Nicole Miller • People like to come up to me and tell me that I’ve got nice ink. Except these tattoos aren’t just decorations. They are declarations. Every tattoo I have tells its own story about who I am. Drug-free. Honor. And a war against the system. – CM Punk • People who don’t like me talk about it as though I’m trash because I have tattoos. I find that insane because it’s 2008, not the 1950s. Tattoos aren’t limited to sailors. It’s a form of art I find beautiful. I love it. – Megan Fox • Previously unseen boo-boos come at you like tattoos on a teenage girl. – Robert Genn • Put tattoos all up and down our thighs, do anything our parents would despise. Take uppers, downers, blues, and reds and yellows, our brains are turning into jello. – Joan Baez • Quirky is sexy, like scars or chipped teeth. I also like tattoos they’re rebellious. – Jennifer Aniston • Right,” I scoffed, “Alpha Yam Ergo.” Adrian nodded solemnly. “A very old and prestigious society.” “I’ve never heard of them,” said the girl who’d claimed the first shirt. “They don’t let many people in,” he said. In white paint, he wrote his fake fraternity’s initials: AYE. “Isn’t that what pirates say?” asked one of the girls. “Well, the Alpha Yams have nautical origins,” he explained. To my horror he began painting a pirate skeleton riding a motorcycle. “Oh, no,” I groaned. “Not the tattoo.” “It’s our logo,” he said. – Richelle Mead • Say my shoe game nuts so I call em cashews Every other city it’s another Nicki tattoo – Nicki Minaj • Score a touchdown, kiss your tattoo. Kaepernicking! – Colin Kaepernick • She gets on you under your skin like a tattoo she’ll always be there! – Jason Aldean • She was clean”: no piercings, tattoos, or scarifications. All the kids were now. And who could blame them, Alex thought, after watching three generations of flaccid tattoos droop like moth-eaten upholstery over poorly stuffed biceps and saggy asses? – Jennifer Egan • She’s a classy girl though, at least all her tattoos are spelt right. – Chic Murray • Show me a man with a tattoo and I’ll show you a man with an interesting past. – Jack London • So that the monotonous fall of the waves on the beach, which for the most part beat a measured and soothing tattoo to her thoughts seemed consolingly to repeat over and over again. – Virginia Woolf • Some people pay a thousand dollars for a tattoo. This scar cost me twenty grand. – Mat Hoffman • Some say his droppings have been found as far north as York, and that he has a full size tattoo of his face, on his face. All we know is he’s called the Stig. – Jeremy Clarkson • Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage. – Drew Barrymore • Tattoo on the lower back? Might as well be a bullseye. – Vince Vaughn • Tattoo. What a loaded word it is, rife with associations to goons, goofs, bikers, tribal warriors, carnival artists, drunken sailors and floozies. – Jon Anderson • Tattooing is my social life, too, so most of my time is taken up with that. People like Henry Lewis, Mike Davis at Everlasting Tattoo. – Margaret Cho • Tattoos are a right of passage. They’re a marker of bravery, of maturity, of cultural acceptance. The tattoo represents not only a willingness to accept pain – to endure it – but a need to actively embrace it. Because life is painful – beautiful but painful. – Nicola Barker • Tattoos are like stories – they’re symbolic of the important moments in your life. Sitting down, talking about where you got each tattoo and what it symbolizes, is really beautiful. – Pamela Anderson • Tattoos are my way of expressing myself without the need for words. – Jay Park • Tattoos are permanent and a lifelong commitment, the same as marriage. – Chester Bennington • Tattoos are so widespread, so ugly and so very, very permanent. You can, in theory, have them removed – but a large chunk of your living flesh will go with it. – Tony Parsons • Tattoos aren’t meant for everybody and they’re too goddamn good for some people. – Lyle Tuttle • Tattoos exude pain and pleasure all at the same time. – Chester Bennington • Tattoos tell stories of crime and passion, punishment and regret. They express an outlaw, antiauthoritarian point of view and communicate a romantic solidarity among society’s outcasts. – Douglas Kent Hall • The ‘black metallers’ will probably continue to ‘get loaded,’ ‘get high,’ and in all other manners too behave like the stereotypical Negro; they will probably continue to get foreign tribal tattoos, dress, walk, talk, look and act like homosexuals, and so forth. – Varg Vikernes • The ‘believe’ tattoo is because my mom always told me to believe. – Ashley Tisdale • The biggest misconception about me is the bad-boy image that everyone stuck me into due to my tattoos, drug days and the constant changes I make with my hair color. – A. J. McLean • The conservatism is extraordinary to me; just compare the way they dress to the way their parents dress. There are still no tattoos or piercings, which is interesting to me. Why does everyone who lives in one place dress alike, look alike, eat the same thing, and decorate the same way? – Tina Barney • The first five years of my career, I was Inmate #1, Bad Guy #1 and Mean Guy #1. I had a great career going, until somebody told me that I was typecast. I said, “Well, what’s typecast?” And they said, “Well, you’re always playing the mean Chicano dude with tattoos.” I thought about that and I said, “Wait a minute! I am the mean Chicano dude with tattoos, so somebody is getting it right.” – Danny Trejo • The first tattoo I got was when I was 17, and it’s a cross on my bicep with ‘Only God Can Judge Me’ underneath. – Trey Songz • The first time I showed the tattoo it was big news in the newspaper. ‘She has a tattoo with a snake.’ It’s not a snake! – Li Na • The funny thing is that my husband couldn’t be sweeter. He looks like this bad boy. He’s got tattoos and earrings and a mohawk, but when you talk to him and he’s around you, he’s such a gentleman. He holds doors for ladies. He pulls out chairs. He cooks. He cleans. – Malin Akerman • The funny thing is, when a Harley-Davidson guy full of tattoos comes out with a Maltese, they’re trying to soften themselves out. When a very soft, single lady with a tailored look comes out with a Rottweiler, she’s looking for protection, for strength. Society automatically views the guy as too strong so he brings a Maltese. It’s just a natural way to balance your situation. It really depends. – Cesar Millan • The justification for rap rock seems to be that if you take really bad rock and put really bad rap over it, the result is somehow good, provided the raps are barked by an overweight white guy with cropped hair and forearm tattoos. – John Jeremiah Sullivan • The muffled drum’s sad roll has beat; The soldier’s last tattoo; No more on Life’s parade shall meet; The brave and fallen few. On Fame’s eternal camping-ground; Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards, with solemn round; The bivouac of the dead. – Theodore O’Hara • The one album I can’t live without is called ‘Cumbolo’ by a band called Culture. Every song on their album is deep, but there’s one in particular called ‘This Train.’ I have a tattoo of the lyrics on my left arm. – Idris Elba • The one in the movie is not real, but my Casper tattoo is real, and it is my only one. – Casper Van Dien • The other day, I got a henna tattoo that says “Forever.” – Zach Galifianakis • The tattoo can only exist as part of the skin, as a drawing always is an incision in the material and therefore cannot be parted from it. – Antoni Tapies • The tattoo has a profound meaning: the superficiality of modern man’s existence. – Anthony Daniels • The tattoo of the History is permanent; once a nation or a man is marked by this tattoo, erasing is impossible. – Mehmet Murat Ildan • The universality of tattooing is a curious subject for speculation. – James Cook • There is something in the act of having tattoos done that I love. It can be quite addictive. I’ve got a few on my back because my friend is an artist, and a few on my arms. Every time I pass a tattoo parlour, I think, ‘Maybe just a tiny one. – Lena Headey • There is something vulnerable about showing your tattoos to people, even while it gives you a feeling that you are wearing a sleeve when you are naked. – Lena Dunham • There’s never the right last moment. Even if you get to say good-bye, even if you get to say “I love you”, even if you jump off a plane and get a tattoo and hug everyone you’ve ever met right before you drift off with a smile, it is never the right last moment. There is always more to say, somewhere to go, something to remember. Another discussion, another fight. There is always supposed to be another day. – Pamela Ribon • This is so cool,” I said loudly as Dad walked away. “Have you met the tattoo artist? Is he hot?” “He’s a she,” Mom said. “Is she hot? Cause I’m still young, you know. My sexual identity isnt fully formed.” “Your father can’t hear you anymore, Maya.” Mom sighed. – Kelley Armstrong • This was a place where tattoos outnumbered teeth. – Harlan Coben • To many people, dramatic criticism must seem like an attempt to tattoo soap bubbles. – John Mason Brown • Usually all my tattoos came at good times. A tattoo is something permanent when you’ve made a self-discovery, or something you’ve come to a conclusion about. – Angelina Jolie • We all originally came from the woods! it is hard to eradicate from any of us the old taste for the tattoo and the war-paint; and the moment that money gets into our pockets, it somehow or another breaks out in ornaments on our person, without always giving refinement to our manners. – Edwin Percy Whipple • We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe; the record may seem superficial, but it is indelible. – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. • We have certain rules for traditional lyric poetry in Korea. I twist my body, confused by what to say and how to act, facing these rules. Confronting traditional lyricism, I speak with a bare body without the tattoos of culture on it. – Kim Hyesoon • Well, I love tattoos and have been drawing them on my binders in school since I was little. – Kimberly Caldwell • Well, these tattoos aren’t really rebellion. These tattoos are all tattoos I’ve had since I have been a pastor. – Jay Bakker • What we’ve said to the girls is: ‘If you guys ever decide that you’re going to get a tattoo, then mommy and me will get the exact same tattoo, in the same place.’ And we’ll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo. – Barack Obama • When all the people covered in tattoos turn about 70 years old, they’re going to look like a strange race of melting clowns. – Dana Gould • When I came to New York and I opened the window of the thirty-fifth-floor apartment, there’s light pollution and fog, and I couldn’t see my star. So I drew it on my wrist with a pen, but it kept washing away. Then I went to a tattoo parlor on Second Avenue and had it done. – Gisele Bundchen • When I’m good, I’m very good. But when I’m bad I’m better. – Mae West • When you’re young, you’re stupid. You do silly things. I did it (the O-Z-Z-Y tattoo across his knuckles) when I was 14. I was in jail for something. I could have had it removed, but why? It’s my trademark. People stop me and say, ‘Let me have a look at your hand.’ – Ozzy Osbourne • White folks are not going to come to see a bunch of guys with tattoos, with cornrows. I’m sorry, but anyone who thinks different, they’re stupid. – Charles Barkley • You are such a chick.” I widened my eyes in mock surprise. “No way. Are you sure?” Sighing again, he rubbed at the tattoos on his wrist. “Mackenzie was right. You aren’t slayer material.” Before he had time to register my intentions, I threw a punch. My sore, swollen knuckles slammed into his cheekbone, thrusting his head to the side. Pain shot up my arm, but I bit my tongue to stop a moan. “You were saying?” He popped his jaw, rubbed at the reddening skin-and slowly grinned. “Okay, so now I understand why Cole likes you. You’re worse than Kat. – Gena Showalter • You can’t judge a book by its cover, though. People think I’m bad because I got tattoos or snort a little cocaine here and there. They think I’m a killer. But what if I wasn’t a killer? Then what? Don’t be tripping on me. I pay my damn taxes, OK? Chill.- Gunplay • You have to have your face in the food. These days people think a tattoo and a bottle of Sriracha equals success. – Bobby Flay • You have to think hard with a tattoo. ‘What will I love for the rest of my life?’ – Kate Upton • You may be right. I think it was round about Christmas when I got my Welsh dragon tattoo.” At that, Tessa had to try very hard not to blush. “How did that happen?” Will made an airy gesture with his hand. “I was drunk…” “Nonsense. You were never really drunk.” “On the contrary—in order to learn how to pretend to be inebriated, once must become inebriated at least once, as a reference point. Six-Fingered Nigel had been at the mulled cider—“ “You can’t mean there’s truly a Six-Fingered Nigel? – Cassandra Clare • Your tattoos are supposed to be some connection to your personality. That’s a lot more important than going in and just picking one off a wall. I’ve never understood why people get butterflies tattooed on their bottoms or whatever. That’s really weird. – Ville Valo • You’re like a philosopher with tattoos. – J.A. Redmerski
