Tattoo You [for oprorsk_sode]

[hellfire_andfury]

Viktor had been thinking about getting a new tattoo recently because he'd been itching at his right bicep wanting something there since he'd already got tattoos on his ass cheek and left bicep. The one on his ass being a depiction of Lucifer's cock, albeit a very crude one. The real Lucifer saying it wasn't big enough to be his actual cock.

So now the punk was walking to find Mikkel, hopefully inside his room with the other Danes or drinking somewhere in the apartments. The Dane was good at tattoos so Viktor wanted him to do it rather than pay some fucking mug out on the Strip. Knocking twice, Viktor waited because he didn't know if Mikkel was naked with his Swede or whatever inside.

"Mikkel? You in there?"

Viktor let Mikkel take all the measurements of his arm and was happy he was soon going to get a new tattoo. As for symbolism, he knew some but not all. It would look cool, wouldn't it? To have some Nordic symbols on his arm along with the molotov cocktail. Vars would appreciate that too.

"Nordic symbols sound fucking cool."

Mikkel was working on the bottle and the flames while they spoke and considered what might be appropriate. After a moment he grinned.

"We should put wulfaz in it, and a wick of rope." That made sense to Mikkel given the Brit's partner. He wasn't sure if Viktor knew why that made sense but he did sketch out the rune on the side of the page so he could see what it looked like.

[hellfire_andfury]

"Wulfaz? Is that a wolf?"

Viktor was slowly learning the language and traditions through Vars and the others. It all seemed to make sense and the punk was smiling slightly, understanding that Mikkel knew the ancient traditions. It would be a fucking epic tattoo.

"Yeah----the wick of rope. I like that idea, mate."

[oprorsk_sode]

"Yes, but this one is for Fenrir." He was glad to hear that Viktor was learning though he wasn't surprised. Vars was the only person he could imagine being as religious as himself, Harald and Aarne.

"The rope burning is a sign of freeing Fenrir." Mikkel smiled at the Brit. "You can match Vars then."

Mikkel knew that Vars had the shoulder tattoo that showed Fenrir breaking his chains and ropes. It made sense. "What color fire and booze?"

[hellfire_andfury]

"Fenrir? I've heard of him. Vars worships him. Fucking awesome wolf."

Viktor nodded and was now thinking along the lines of what colour he wanted for his tattoo. The flames and booze colour. Well, vodka was clear so---would that be left without colour?

"Vodka is clear so would no colour be needed for that? The flames I want bright orange and reds."

[oprorsk_sode]

"Yes." Mikkel nodded. "You are protected by Fenrir."

Mikkel knew that Vars would have done that sort of thing already and there was the arm band the Brit was wearing too.

"There would be some light blue for the shadows." Vodka might be clear but there would be some color to show the sloshing of the liquid. Bright flames made sense.

He had the grayscale done with the fire and the rune in the booze bottle label. The fire trailing off like it would when it was actively being thrown, smoke and little sparks of fire trailing off the main fire. He showed it to the Brit.

"Like this?"

[hellfire_andfury]

Viktor nodded and was glad he was being protected by Fenrir as he touched his arm band given to him by Vars. It was an engagement present of sorts and much better than a ring in the Brit's eyes.

"Light blue for the shadows sounds good. It looks fucking epic so far."

The punk was pleased with what Mikkel had come up with on his design board. Fuck, it was so cool! Viktor loved the smoke and little sparks coming off of it.

"I like the smoke and sparks."

[oprorsk_sode]

Mikkel knew there were details to add but fire was so organic that individual flames were better to do on the arm.

"If you like this, you can go int the bathroom and wash your arm." Mikkel wouldn't mind working on the Brit now. "I can get my things."

[hellfire_andfury]

"Right, ok."

Viktor got up and went into the bathroom to wash his arm because the tattoo design was fucking perfect. The Dane really was good at what he did and this pleased the Brit. Wait until Vars saw it. Coming back, Viktor wondered where he should sit so that Mikkel could tattoo him.

"Want me on the couch?"

[oprorsk_sode]

Mikkel went to the kitchen to wash his hands and get his things, inks, tattoo machine, gloves and the rest.

"The dining room table will be easier for a forearm." Mikkel figured he could just rest his arm on the table and the overhead lights were bright. He brought a glass and a pitcher of juice too. He knew Viktor usually drank but juice was better, especially if someone got lightheaded from tattooing.

"I'll need to make the stencil." Mikkel had to shave Viktor's arm where the tattoo would go and put the transfer gel on. While it dried he could make the transfer for getting the design on the skin. While he was doing that, the Dane offered Viktor his ink case. "Why don't you pick out your fire colors?"

[hellfire_andfury]

"Yeah, you're right."

Viktor moved to the table, sitting down and getting ready for his arm to be shaved. The juice was on the table and the punk wondered if it was for him or for them to share. It was a good arrangement either way as the Brit began picking out his fire colours. Deep reds and bright oranges.

"I love the oranges in fire."

[oprorsk_sode]

Mikkel got the transfer done and nodded at the color choice. "We need a white blue for the base."

Mikkel laughed. "Vodka burns blue." He had played around with fire too sometimes. They would need it for highlighting the vodka too.

"Ready?"

[hellfire_andfury]

"Yeah it burns blue but I meant like a big bonfire or burning cop car. Those colours are fucking cool too."

The punk loved fire generally and enjoyed throwing his "bombs" whenever he could, either at made up homemade targets or actual cop cars. Stilling himself, Viktor nodded and readied himself for the tattoo.

[oprorsk_sode]

Mikkel put the stencil on. While the black stencil dried the Dane pulled back his hair, put on gloves and started pouring out the inks he needed.

"How do you sit for tattoos?" Mikkel asked. It wasn't just pain. Sometimes people needed to stand up or move around because this would take a few hours to finish.

Once all the ink was ready and the needle was in, he waited for the Brit to be ready to start.

[hellfire_andfury]

"I sit with my other arm resting on the table while this one gets done."

Viktor was ok with sitting at the table for hours while his tattoo was being done because he didn't mind the slight discomfort or pain. The man prided himself on being one to take pain in his stride, or so he said. It shouldn't be too uncomfortable though because Mikkel was being professional.

"Don't worry about me, mate. I can take a bit of pain."

[oprorsk_sode]

Mikkel laughed as he started the blackline. "With you, I am more worried about sitting still, like Aarne."

The Fin barely stayed still even when being tattooed. He worked slowly and precisely for the black line. That could make or break a tattoo. "I was wondering when you would come for a tattoo. Most of the people who have one, have talked to me."

[hellfire_andfury]

"You calling me a fucking fidget?"

Viktor grinned and was joking around with Mikkel whilst staying still because the punk knew the Dane had to have a still hand whilst putting the lines on. How many others had come for one recently?

"How many of the others have come to you?"

[oprorsk_sode]

"You seem like you would be."

Mikkel was being honest though his focus was more on the lines than talking.

"I think you are the eighth?" Mikkel had lost count but he felt like that was right. "I don't mind. I've always liked drawing."

[hellfire_andfury]

"I don't like sitting still much but I can for this."

Viktor looked down as Mikkel worked and did his best to stay still for the Dane because he didn't want to fuck up his tattoo. So, there were quite a few before him. This didn't surprise Viktor because he knew a lot of the band members had tattoos.

"What was the last design you drew for someone?"

[oprorsk_sode]

"I don't like being still usually."

It was something he and the Brit had in common. Mikkel kept his hand on Viktor's forearm as he worked so he would have some warning before the Brit might move.

"I did some runes on Harald but I'm working on drawing something for Billy." He was working with the other Brit to design something. "I might do something small on Fredrik and Sigurd."

[hellfire_andfury]

"Sitting still is fucking bullshit, mate. Getting up and doing things is better."

Viktor watched what the Dane was doing and knew he'd have to sit still for this. The punk's desire to get up and cause chaos was stilled for the moment at least. It seemed Mikkel had plenty of work with the band members.

"Harald is a huge fucking Viking bloke. He's got a real axe that looks decent. What tattoo did he get? Something Viking?"

The Brit had respect for Harald because he was big and strong.

[oprorsk_sode]

"Sitting still is how you die."

Mikkel mentioned it off hand but he felt that so much when he was still back in Denmark. Maybe that would fade with time but not yet.

"He's hot." Mikkel kept his eyes on the work when he said that but the Brit might catch his cheeks pinking up from that admission. "The axe on his forearm."

He was sure that Viktor had likely seen it since Harald often had bared arms.

[hellfire_andfury]

"Die? Not if I get to the fuckers trying to kill me first."

Viktor knew sitting still was bullshit but Mikkel had a valid point about doing nothing when there were assholes out to get you. The punk had cops chasing his ass and authorities which could suck balls.

"Fuck them. You're a decent dancer and tattooist. No one will hurt you here, mate. We're family."

The Brit meant those words.

"Axes are fucking cool."

[oprorsk_sode]

Mikkel shrugged. "I don't think I'll ever be free of the fuckers after me."

It was what he believed. Rik's dad would chase them to the ends of the Earth probably.

"Sigurd worries about the dancing because of the men and ... boys aren't allowed. He doesn't want me in jail." Mikkel knew the Swede worried way more than he should. "But I like dancing. It's the first thing I was ever good at."

Mikkel nodded. "I've used them and bows before but I like throwing knives. I was going to ask Damien to teach me."

[hellfire_andfury]

"If any of those fuckers show their face when I'm around I'll burn them to the ground."

Viktor was serious about this. No one attacked or abused his friends and they'd have Vars and all the others to deal with too. Mikkel was still just a kid and Viktor liked how he kicked balls in all the right places when dealing with a shit world.

"Fucking stupid rules, mate. Blokes should be able to dance too. I've been in jail and it's fucking boring and shit."

How many times now? He lost count.
