mark webber x fem!tattoo artist reader

“Mark, you don’t have to get anything. They just require an adult over 21 to come in with me for some reason, they require a legal adult there, that doesn’t have to be a parent. I think it’s so you don’t bail halfway through, and you are the closest, and I didn’t want to drag my parents out and…” Daniel pleaded to Mark. This was not Mark’s plan of how he wanted to spend the winter break.

“Fine! Damn it Daniel, you really are a piece of work sometimes. As long as I don’t have to get a tattoo, sure.” Mark conceded.

“Thank you thank you thank you!”

“Let’s go kiddo, before you make me regret it.” Daniel wasn’t a kid, not at all if he was going to race in f1 next year and get a tattoo this year. But compared to Mark, who still felt somewhat young, Daniel was a baby. So he took him to the tattoo place.

Mark would’ve been slightly worried that he was walking into an elite escort club if it weren’t for the fact that he had read every review of this place to make sure it was safe and triple checked that they were at the right location before they entered and he had asked every staff if they were in the right place. He’d asked the 3 people so far who had checked his ID, the 2 who had searched his bags, the 2 who had chatted to Daniel about design and the 2 that had chatted to him about his design until they realised he wasn’t getting one, and they had all confirmed that he was in the right place. And then finally, they had emerged into a room that looked like a tattoo and piercing studio. 

While the lighting seemed to be mostly based off of lamps, it was a relatively well lit building. The aesthetic was very dark and grungy, but the place was lit well enough that the piercers and tattoo artists could see what they were doing. The tattoo reclinable chairs were all black, Mark imagined so they didn’t have to be cleaned when patients bleed.

“Okay, hey Daniel, I’m your tattoo artist for today. There’s just a few final things I need to check on, and then we are ready to go! Hey, I’m Y/N, are you Daniel’s Dad?”

“Uhhhh, no. I’m just a friend who offered to come. I’m Mark.” Mark offered his hand and Y/N shook it politely. He took note of the bats and snakes that trailed up her right arm and was about to inspect them, before realising that this handshake had gone on for way too long and now appeared borderline creepy.

“Um…okay, are you getting a tattoo today?” Y/N asked, when Mark had finally let go of her arm

“No. Definitely not.” Mark shuddered at the thought.

“Okay, back to you then Daniel. Do you have a drink bottle, or at least some way of hydrating today?”

“Yeha, I have this water bottle.” Daniel held up a small crinkled plastic water bottle that Mark was sure was max half filled. He watched Y/N cringe at it.

“Do you have anything else? I know this is your first tattoo, so I don’t blame you for being a little underprepared but based on the tat we’re doing today, and how big it is, I think you’re gonna need more water so-” - Y/N

“I have some in my bag, just to be safe.” Mark smiled at Y/N who smiled back before turning back to Daniel. Mark pulled out the backpack he had brought and pulled out some snacks, 2 big water bottles, and a smaller one for himself.

“Eaten a big meal today? We’re gonna be here a while and have you put moisturiser on your thigh?” 

“Yeah, I ate a big meal for lunch with Mark, and there’s moisturiser on my thigh, although it may need a bit more.”

“Okay, I’ve got extra, don't worry about it. Have you shown Mark your design? Maybe take off your shorts, and then while I get the moisturiser you can show him your design.”

As Y/N wandered off, Mark watched as Daniel shimmied his shorts off before lying back on the chair and pulling a piece of paper from the backpack and turning it around.

Mark had to admit, it was a very pretty tattoo. He gasped as he looked at it, and if another artist had turned round to him then and there he would’ve immediately agreed to have a tattoo done. The art was stunning and Mark agreed that while the tattoo would take a while, the concept drawing would’ve taken even longer.

It was a lighthouse and a ship, with ‘no regrets’ in a banner on top and ‘only memories’ in a banner on the bottom. The ship and lighthouse were very intricate and Mark could almost see every pen stroke that had been put on the piece of paper. As he studied it, he heard Y/N come back and pop the bottle of the moisturiser, and start murmuring to Daniel about pens and needles and colouring. Finally he heard the 2 laugh and looked up from studying the artistry.

“Sorry Mark. I do need the design to uhh tat Daniel up here and so I do need the design. Now Daniel, have you had any ibuprofen, alcohol, coffee or fish oil in the last 48 hours? These things tend to be blood thinners, and I really don’t want you bleeding out on my floor. It’s also more painful for you, as you’re going to end up with more skin irritation, which is not fun.”

“Why are you doing such a big and intricate tattoo to start with? Surely most people start with smaller tattoos.” Mark curiously asked

“Yeah but I figured if I get one big one, I’ll only ever get one so it’s fine.” Daniel said sheepishly

“Yeah, you keep telling yourself that kiddo. That’s what I thought, and now look at me. I personally like my smaller tattoos better, but it’s all personal preference.” Y/N smirked before she grabbed the needle and began the long process.

Mark tried to watch with interest, wanting to absorb everything Y/N was doing. But he ended up having to turn away as Daniel got a needle stabbed into him multiple times.

“Why’d you bring a squeamish one, Danny?” Y/N laughed from seeing Mark’s reactions

“Haha, I didn’t know. Maybe you should give him a tattoo, see how he reacts?” 

“No. No tattoo.” Mark chanted as he stared up at the ceiling, hands clenched into fists on his legs.

“How about a piercing? It can just be in your ear, you won’t even see the needle, and it’ll be painless, mostly. A lot less pain than this tattoo, hey Danny?” 

“Yeah, come on Mark! I did my ears when I was 13. Very painless, at least compared to this.”

“Fine. When are you gonna do it?” Mark conceded, done with their antics and persuasion.

“Probably in about an hour, when Daniel needs a break from this tat. Do you want me to do it, or would you prefer someone else to do it, like Jayden, or Alex or Leo? They’re all specialist piercers, as opposed to me, who’s technically a specialist tattoo artist. I can pierce your ear, obviously, but if you’d rather someone who’s probably a bit better, and if you just want to get it over and done with, then you can do someone else!”

“Uhhh, no, no. I’d rather you’d do it, if that’s okay?” Mark shuffled awkwardly, unsure.

“Yeah, yeah, of course, that’s fine. I may get Leo to just talk you through everything, cause I can’t multitask, and he’ll take your notes on preferences. LEO! Get over here.” - Y/N

Mark ended up getting quizzed by a man with more piercings and tattoos than Mark could care to count. He quizzed him on piercing placement, what earrings he wanted in and the care required afterwards, until finally Daniel asked for a break.

“Alright, all good by me. I’ll get Jayden to grab you some food and some drink to get you through while I…” she spun around to face Mark “pierce Mark’s ears.”

Mark gulped. He was certain that this was a bad idea.

And yet Y/N was so soft with him. She sanitised his ears, and put numbing cream on it. She talked him through everything and what she was doing, and the actual piercing of the ears was unnoticeable. Because she was talking the entire time, about motorsport and any random things she could think of. Mark was happy and content, at least until she pulled back and turned back to Daniel.

“Are you ready to resume, Daniel?” - Y/N

“What happened to you piercing my ears?” - Mark

“Mark…I have pierced your ears. You’re all done.” - Y/N

“What?” Mark put his hands up to his ears and felt the small pieces of metal stuck in his ears.  “Oh, sorry, I didn’t even feel it.” - Mark

“Good, you’ll start feeling it soon, don’t worry, particularly the more weight.” - Y/N smiled before turning back to Daniel’s thigh and kept going with his tattoo.

Mark smiled and watched as her hands delicately worked on Daniel’s skin. The tattoo looked even better than it did from her sketches. He tried to not be too creepy but he loved watching the planets on her fingers crinkle while she concentrated. She brushed some hair out of her face and Mark was drawn to the bee behind her ear, looking ready to buzz away.

Way too soon Daniel's tattoo was finished and they had to leave. Mark did give Y/N his number and they started talking, as Mark begged her to come to a race. She came for Daniel’s F1 debut race down in Melbourne and kept texting Mark throughout, asking what certain terms she heard thrown around were.

BONUS SCENE

“Nice earrings Mark, when’d you get them?” Seb asked as they met before pre-season testing.

“Oh over the winter break you know?” Mark grinned, determined to not spoil his secret of Y/N

“Nice, you planning a tattoo next?” Seb grinned. He could always tell when Mark had a secret.

“Ha, nope. Just taking Daniel on more expeditions.” Mark said ‘i hope’ he added in his head

“More piercings then?” Seb grinned mischievously.

“Ha, maybe, maybe seb, maybe.” He smiled thinking about getting more piercings, letting Y/N touch his body with her surprisingly soft hands, maybe he’d get a piercing in a more intimate spot next time.

Liv: Green beer is the devil I think

Frannie: We're still alive?

Frannie: Green beer is cheap beer, it's definitely the devil

Liv: Cheap beer is like the way to go out though. To me anyways

Liv: nothing feels better than waking up from a night of 2 dollar beer :slight_smile:

Liv: feels like a big fuxk you to the man

Frannie: Personally I hate cheap beer

Frannie: But uh, you do you

Liv: I just really like doing things in spite of the the bubble I feel forced in sometimes

Liv: cheap beer makes me feel powerful LOL

Liv: and brains are weird

Liv: You were very cute last night

Liv: thanks for letting me third wheel

Frannie: Cheap beer and I get along about as well as wine and I do, which is to say, we don't

Frannie: But I don't mind Guinness, and I rather like craft beers.

Frannie: I'm glad someone thought my drunk ass was nice

Frannie: Thanks for coming along

Liv: Bad hangovers ?

Frannie: Makes me physically ill

Liv: Yeah, staying away is a good idea then!

Frannie: Mmhmm

Liv: I thought you were awesome! I was sad when we parted ways

Liv: I wanted to take you home and snug

Frannie: You did?

Liv: I did!

Liv: would have been really nice to hold you

Frannie: Why's that?

Liv: you’re holdable and I like being near you because I like you a lot

Frannie: You do?

Liv: I do!

Frannie: I like you a lot too

Liv: That’s really nice to hear

Frannie: I like that you're safe to be around

Liv: I really try to be

Liv: I’m glad I’m safe for you

Frannie: I like having someone else who is safe

Liv: It is really nice to find people you can let in

Frannie: It was just Arin for a really long time. I lost a lot of people at once. She was the only one who believed me.

Liv: I’m so thankful you have her. I’m thankful I have her. She’s really good. But so are you

Liv: I’m sorry you had to lose

Frannie: She saved my life.

Frannie: It was so bad, but it taught me a lot about people.

Liv: Most bad things do

Frannie: I suppose

Liv: In my experience bad things have always shown me bad people or people worth keeping

Frannie: I just wasn't expecting to lose basically everyone.

Liv: It sucks. It’s better to have no one though then have bad

Frannie: Yeah, I guess so but it makes it hard to open up, y'know?

Liv: I know

Frannie: Sometimes I feel more like Medusa than Athena

Liv: I don’t really know what that means but I don’t think Arin would call you Athena if you weren’t Athena, you know?

Frannie: She was calling me Athena long before what happened.

Liv: Right. Good to know.

Frannie: Yeah

Liv: I’m sorry I probably didn’t response properly

Liv: but like you’re Athena

Frannie: I don't feel like it

Liv: Maybe one day you will

Liv: you’ll feel beautiful the way others see you

Frannie: I always wondered how people got over stuff like that. You don't.

Liv: I can’t put myself in your shoes. I can’t. You’re probably right but I don’t want you to believe that you’re just like hardened forever. I don’t want to believe that

Frannie: I don't know how to move on from it. From what he did.

Liv: I wish I knew the answer

Frannie: I mean, I know I'm getting there, the tattoo is part of that, but... I don't know what my next step is.

Liv: Step by step I think

Frannie: I'm not good if I'm not a few steps ahead of where I am now

Liv: I want to help

Frannie: I don't know how you can, that's the hard part. You're already doing so much anyway

Liv: I want to know you forever

Liv: It’s all I know for sure

Frannie: You do?

Liv: Yeah, totally

Liv: I like you a lot

Frannie: Yeah?

Liv: Yes

Frannie: Why?

Liv: I like your face and your voice and your hands and your weight in my lap and I don’t know you make me feel like I’m on fire but instead of it being angry and overwhelming it feels warm and comforting

Frannie: Really?

Liv: omg frannie

Liv: yes

Liv: I’ll scream it from the tallest mountain if you want me too. I like you so much it makes me wanna twirl around

Frannie: OH

Frannie: I'm dumb

Liv: all humans are dumb

Frannie: But I'm like REALLY dumb

Liv: I’m not following

Frannie: You like-like me and I didn't think you did

Liv: I feel like I have said this before am I making this up?

Frannie: I don't know! I'm dumb!

Liv: :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

Frannie: I've never been into someone before, much less thought someone would be into me

Liv: Self worth And perception of self and trauma responses are weird

Frannie: You're telling me

Liv: are you gonna come over

Frannie: I can

Liv: please

Frannie: Then yes, I am.

Liv: Thank you

[secretsofthemasquerade]

A while ago you mentioned that you are working on an "Awesome game with awesome people", please, give us a glimmer of hope

I’m sorry I’ll have to crash your hopes dude :/

It flopped because of artistic differences; they had contacted me to be a creative writer, aka the artist and sound designer wanted a linear minimum background story for a shooter-like game, which, to me, is a stupid stupid idea, you don’t license a rpg if you’re not giving at least a minimum of rpg elements such as, you know, choices, affecting the story and so on ; there was no true project leader and little to no communication by any of the parties (I always kept everyone updated on characters and global setting and so, and atrblizzard always kept posting what he was doing with the unity engine, but other than that…). When we sent the first pitch (which was incomplete ofc) some people just plain chickened out and blamed it on me for wanting to do something bigger (which was imo a good idea, and i always kept checking with the devs what was feasible, i mean, the concept artist shouldn’t care right?)

So yeha, it flopped.

The general idea would suit perfectly a visual-novel style game, if I find a team/funds I might go :) but I can’t be project lead cuz while I know my share of games, I’m no programmer, no artist, and I sadly can’t work for free.

After it went a bit kaput, and while I still talked to atr, i reworked the pitch to what I believed the game should be like.

Here’s a little something just to turn counter-clock wise the knife, alright?

The Hunter game will take the player on the roles of hunters in theWorld of Darkness setting, a modern contemporary world, dystopian copy of ourown, filled with the supernatural lurking in human society.

Mere mortals themselves, the hunters have begun to notice theexistence of these creatures influencing or controlling the different facets ofthe world. Where the others cannot notice these creatures and refuse to believeit is something real, the Hunters have decided to tackle their influences andtake their city back from these monsters.

Coming from all backgrounds and all fringes of society, each hunterhas found a reason to fight the supernatural they know so little of, with theirunique abilities but limited resources. Some have adhered to helpful structures,sharing ideologies and goals, while others are lone wolves.

The city of New Calpe is a turning point for commerce, military andimmigration and is one of the many entrance and exit points between Africa andEurope. Its people are cosmopolite, diverse, but tensions between communities,organizations, local government and world affairs are easy to dig through. Itsunique situation draws certain interests and its localizations, a recentman-made urbanized city on antique foundations hide many secrets. Neighborhoodsare clear cut in appearance, security is high, but so is corruption,trafficking of all sorts and syncretism of different beliefs and fears in allfringes of society. 

Hunters know their weaknesses and are aware that a directconfrontation will most likely end in their dismissal, for which they havelearned to use other assets in order to strike down the supernaturalinfluences. Cunning ways and group formation is key to succeed.

Ultimately, each character will have different endings depending ontheir meaningful choices in their own storylines, going from a vampire takingtheir fancy in them as potential slaves or future childer to sacrificingthemselves to strike one last blow to their enemies. There is no right orwrong, there is no good or bad, just different nuances and paths that can betaken in a gruesome world where the hint of hope drives them to believe theywill change the world.

Themes

Hope and hopelessness, secrets and truths that mustn’t be found,relatable characters with flaws. Players will want to discover the truth behindthe facades and live the stories through their characters’ eyes. Hunter:Pandora’s box unveils many secrets and sanctions or rewards players’ curiosity.

The message is about diversity in all kind: people’s motives andactions, mindsets and past. There is no perfect warrior, there is no pure evilnor pure good.

Game pillars

 Replayability:we want players to never truly put down the game through engaging mechanics

 Mindtwister: get people thinking about modern stakes, who is the monster, and whatthey consider to be the moral, the “good” choice.

 Maturethemes: The World of Darkness isn’t a world of heroes, it’s a world of thedirty, the soiled and yet everyone thinks they are doing what must be done.There are few mature games that do not rely on gore or scare.

  Easyto play and enjoy, hard to master and know: we want to let everyone play andface the consequences of their choices, but we also want to encourage to tryagain, try some other way, some harder way
