#and johnny realizes simon is actually just a big dork

[akai-akai]

tattoo artist simon doing a piece on the back of johnny's thigh and then when he's finished he pats johnny's ass like how a dad pats something and goes "yep. that's not goin anywhere."

and Johnny just sorta accepts that that's what just happened, doesn't even mention it. until the next session when simon doesn't do it and he turns on his side and props his head up "seductively" on his elbow and gives Simon a wolfish grin and says "what? no slap on the arse this time?"

Simon just glares at his station as he cleans it up and ignores the way his ears get red and his face feels hot underneath the plain black facemask. Doesn't make eye contact as he rings Johnny up and schedules his next appointment, just hides his eyes under the brim of his black baseball cap and hoodie.

inspired by the interaction with my tattoo artist today while doing my second session of my leg sleeve 😭 I think he did it subconsciously and it shocked us both. Nb4 you worry about the interaction, I've gone to him for 4 years now and I know he wasn't doing it to be a creep. he's genuinely just that awkward and doesn't think before he does something.

he'd purposely blow out the ink next session if he knew I was posting soapghost inspired by him.
