It's Thursday - Lets Go Get a Tattoo!
Jan. 7th, 2016 05:45 amHello, everyone. I’m
squidgiepdx and today's theme is all about tattoos! Someone getting ink done? Or maybe you've got a crimefighting duo, and they see the perp they've been looking for sitting in the tattoo artist's chair. Maybe it's someone you least expect it - and they're wearing a temporary rub-on tattoo. Or maybe it's a public figure with a story behind each dash of ink on their skin. Whatever the case, if it has to do with getting, ogling, enjoying, licking, being around, or just plain contemplating getting a tattoo, then lets prompt together and get some writing done!
Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above mentioned spoiler cut.
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ due South, Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski, When he finally gets Fraser naked, Ray finds a tattoo on Fraser's alabaster skin.
+ Stargate Atlantis, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, John gets a tattoo in Pegasus, which because of his ATA gene does some interesting things to his skin.
+ Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams, For all the tattoos that Steve has, the one that means the most is the one Danno gets after they start dating.
We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2016 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Date: 2016-01-07 02:42 pm (UTC)And then there was Ben. He was one of the new Marines, nothing too showy about him except his tattoos and his almost zen-like attitude even when bullets were flying at his head. Word quickly spread that Ben was just as handy with a tattoo gun as he was with a P-90, and suddenly he was bombarded with requests for body art.
John had initially scoffed at the idea. He’d never been one for body adornment of any kind, be it ink or piercings. But the more fresh ink he saw people flashing around, the less sure he became. Atlantis had changed him, in too many ways to count, and the thought of having some sort of physical representation of that started to become quite appealing.
“You’re an idiot,” Rodney said when John finally drummed up the courage to sit for Ben.
Still, Rodney was there to keep an eye on proceedings and make sure all the equipment was properly sanitized so that John wouldn’t contract Hep C or tetanus, or any other number of blood-borne diseases that he’d researched and told John about in detail.
As it turned out, Atlantis had changed John in ways that not even Rodney could’ve foreseen. Carson couldn’t say if it was the strength of the ATA gene, or after-effects of the Iratus virus, or any other number of things that John had been exposed to in Pegasus, but his tattoo was different from everyone else’s.
The Ancient letters, tattooed in blue on his wrist (where he could hide the tattoo under his wristband) glowed. In the dark, the tattoo was luminescent. In the daylight it seemed to shimmer and shine as if it were crafted from foil paper. Of course everyone wanted to see it, and so John kept it under wraps almost all the time. He didn’t like the attention, or the speculation about why his tattoo was so different.
The only one who got to see it now was Rodney, who’d been so dead set against it in the first place. He’d gently pull the wristband off when they were alone in their quarters, and run his fingers over the glowing letters, tracing each one with the tip of his finger. He’d place a kiss to John’s wrist, before moving up to kiss the man himself, and John didn’t care why the tattoo ink had reacted to his skin the way it had because Rodney thought it was beautiful. And his opinion was the only one that mattered.
As soft kisses turned heated, and John and Rodney’s attention turned to physical pleasure, the tattoo pulsed with blue light as it spelled out the word that matched what was in John’s heart. Home.
