The breathing experiment (Jokor)

[Vanna]

Vanna smiled softly and picked up the shirt he dropped on her way to the fireplace. Her fingers lightly holding the black box and putting it on the ground next to the box with ash, the dagger-like needle and a piece of cloth. She leaned down over him, trying not to look in his eyes since she was still blushing. Her small, gentle fingers traced along his arm and turned it to the side slightly, exposing the inside. She had to look at him this time It'll hurt... and look really ugly with the ash.. but once we wash it off, it'll look good and will just probably itch a bit..

Her right hand moved to the fireplace, taking a little piece of coal, that was quite sharp and she was able to draw with it. She leaned closer, keeping her head only a few inches away from his skin as she began to move her fingers slowly but surely. Her hand pressed a bit harder, here and there, leaving a thicker line just for the sake of shadows and in about ten minutes, she was done. Lifting her gaze to his cheeks, she blushed again but managed to smile
I drew it on your skin so I don't make a mistake while getting it on permanently...

She just grinned... the same, old cheeky grin as she took the dagger-like needle and put the tip in the black liquid, leaning closer and basically scratching the skin so the ink goes deep into the pores. It must have hurt, Vanna knew it cause she had quite a few of those done to her, so she tried to be as gentle and slow as possible, stopping at the end of the first, small line and taking the piece of cloth with some ash on it, wiping the blood off of Jokor's arm and whispering with a concerned look on her face
I hope that wasn't too bad... I'm trying not to push too deep..

OOC: Tattooing technique is taken from the old Japanese AINU people...

[Jokor]

He tried to keep his nervousness under control as vanna came closer with her tools, his instincts saying that he should get away from that dagger like thing, though he just kept lying down as her fingers turned his arm a bit exposing the soft and sensitive inside.
"It'll hurt... and look really ugly with the ash.. but once we wash it off, it'll look good and will just probably itch a bit.." She searched through the coals of the fire and picked a little piece of coal out of the fireplace. She leaned closer until her head was only a few inches away from his skin, Jokor shifting around a bit, feeling uncomfortable with her being so close to him. He just focused on the roof of the room when she began to draw with the piece of coal on his arm, trying to keep as still as possible while she did it. After a chime or ten vanna looked up towards him a small blush on her face
"I drew it on your skin so I don't make a mistake while getting it on permanently..."
Jokor nodded, that made sense, it was permanent after all so mistakes would be something that would have to avoided at all cost.
"well do your worst," Jokor said, knowing from her explanation that the hurting part would probably come right now. He clenched his teeth and waited for the hurting to come. He clenched his fist as he felt a needle burry itself into his skin, he gritted his teeth so that he wouldn't cry out. He let out a sigh of relief as he felt the pain subside. Feeling vanna wipe some blood of his arm with a rag. He looked towards her, seeing a concerned look on her face.
"I hope that wasn't too bad... I'm trying not to push too deep.."
Jokor shook his head, "I can handle it, Just try not to screw it up please?" He looked towards vanna. "I would really hate to go through this only to have it look bad."

[Vanna]

Vanna grinned wickedly and as he asked her not to "screw" it up.... Shaking her head lightly, she put the needle back in the liquid, letting her fingers trace along the line she just drew Don't worry, I'm not that bad...

She just moved her hand over to the piece of cloth, picking it up with some more ash as she began drawing the second, bigger line on Jokor's skin. Biting on her bottom lip and trying to keep her head steady, while worrying if it hurts Jokor too much. This line was twice as long as the first one, but she did it perfectly as well. Sighing in relief, she wiped the blood with that piece of cloth and looked at Jokor with a wide smile You're doing great so far..

Her fingers slowly moved along the outside of his arm as her hand put some more ash on the piece of cloth and without a warning, she started drawing another line, pretty much the same size as the last one, slowly, carefully and perfectly in the end, of course. She wiped the blood off and then softly moved away, putting the needle on the fire again, to get it hot. Her face was just above Jokor's in less then a minute This will look really nice on your skin..... Figuring how close she was, she just blushed almost instantly, but didn't move. In fact, she just grinned and felt her heart racing again, like mad.

[Jokor]

Jokor was a put of by the rather wicked grin that slid on vanna's face as he asked not to screw it up.
"Don't worry," She said as she dipped the needle like thing back in the liquid. shaking her head lightly. "I'm not that bad..." She moved her hand over the piece of cloth and picked it up dumping it back in the container to get some more ash on it. Jokor just prepaired himself for the pain again. He gritted his teeth as she began again, looking at the roof again and trying not to take to much notice of the pain that was shooting trough his arm.
"You're doing great so far.." he heard vanna say as she stopped again to wipe the blood off. He blushed as he felt her fingers slowly move allong the outside of the arm, nearly screaming in surprise as she began drawing another line without warning.
I really hope this is worth it! Jokor thought, trying to not burst out in tears.
He let out a sigh of relief again when she wiped the blood back off, covering another part again in ash, and she slowly leaned over him towards the fire, putting the needle back into it.
"This will look really nice on your skin...." Vanna said with a blush on her face as she hung rather close to him, a grin on her face.
"Well it better be," Jokor muttered a bit flustered at how she was hanging so close to him. Though a little grin did manage to find his way onto his features.
"Or else you are going tohave to pay me back for letting you practice on my body."

[Vanna]

Vanna laughed as he said "Or else you are going tohave to pay me back for letting you practice on my body.", shaking her head lightly and placing another peck on the tip of his nose. Her fingers pulled the needle out, letting it cool down as she gently wiped the blood away again, with that piece of cloth
You're such a meanie sometimes, you know

Her hand touched the needle to see if it's cold enough before putting it in the little box where the liquid was and then going back to drawing on his arm. This time she drew three little lines before wiping them off and dipping the needle once again, for a big line this time. After she wiped that blood off, she left the needle in the liquid and moved his arm slightly up That actually looks pretty good..., she added, grinning playfully. Her fingers traced along his arm and up to his shoulder, chuckling I'm going to let you relax a bit... this must have hurt a lot...

[Jokor]

Jokor blushed as she pecked him lightly on the nose. Before she pulled the needle out of the fire and let it cool down a bit as she gentily wiped the blood on his arm away with the piece of cloth.
"You're such a meanie sometimes, you know" She touched the needle carefully with her hand making sure that it wasn't to warm to begin stabbing it in his arm, it already hurt enough without that!
Before Jokor could even open his mouth for his retort to that remark she quickly dipped the needle back into the liquid and drew three quick and short lines though they still hurt like hell. Jokor's eye twitched as she did it not expecting it.
He was glaring at vanna as she dipped the needle back into the liquid
"Hey, you didn..." Whatever jokor wanted to follow with was drowned out in the yell of pain as she just draw another line, a larger one this time.
She set the needle in the box ignoring his yell of pain. She lifted up his arm and looked at her handywork.
"That actually looks pretty good...," she said a playfull grin on her face, her fingers tracing along his arm until they rested on his shoulder.
"It better be, I am not going through this for an ugly scrabble on my arm." Jokor muttered under his breath.
"I'm going to let you relax a bit... this must have hurt a lot..."
Jokor just rolled his eyes and leaned back into the pillows.
"It isn't like I couldn't go on or something you know."

[Vanna]

Vanna giggled as he blushed. Once he started making silly faces and noises she thought were really silly, she just stopped, trying not to laugh."It isn't like I couldn't go on or something you know." Jokor said and she just shrugged, adding "OK... if you say so", before dipping the needle back in the liquid and drawing more then 4 lines along his arm. She wouldn't even let him breath at this point. Her fingers were holding his skin while her right hand moved along the lines with the needle. She kept doing that till only the bottom of the tribal was left. Dropping the needle back in the fireplace, she took the piece of cloth and dipped it in the ash, like she has been doing after every few lines to wipe the blood off
Well, since you were such a big boy, I think we'll have to award you with something, don't you agree?, winking at him, Vanna took the needle out, gently pressing the finger against it. It was warm, but not too much. Dipping the needle back, she just grins before leaning down and finishing the tattoo.
Once the tribal was done, she wiped it with the same piece of cloth and took a look
Wow, I actually did better then I though I would... The tattoo was dirty, but you could actually see it. It was perfectly drawn, with just a few shadows, but not too detailed. Not amazing, but damn good for a free one.

[Jokor]

"OK... if you say so"
Vanna took the needle again and began again, not even giving him pause to breathe. Jokor just gritted his teeth and looked at the roof trying to get his mind of the pain, his eyes beginning to tear a bit when she was almost done.
"Well, since you were such a big boy, I think we'll have to award you with something, don't you agree?" Jokor just let out a breath of relief thinking she was done.
"Well if you want to give me something I won't mind." Jokor said a small smile on his lips. Tensing again as she buried the needle back into his skin, letting a string of rather harsh words lose as she continued her work.
Once she was done she wiped the her handywork off with the ash covered cloth.
"Wow, I actually did better then I though I would..."
Jokor smiled a bit as he heard her happy tone.
"Well I am glad you did better then you thought?" He gave her a friendly pat on head.

[Vanna]

She chuckled as Jokor started cursing, or well, however else he'd like to call it. It was so cute to see him get all frustrated about stuff, when she knew he didn't mean it in a bad way. The mean part at the begging though, she didn't like, not one bit and just thinking about her made her shiver lightly. When she finished and he pat her head lightly, she leaned in as close to him as she could, whispering as their noses almost touched
Hmmm, and what would you like to get Jokor?

A cheeky grin appeared on her face as she winked at him, letting her fingers trace the tattoo she has just done lightly. It was sensitive, so she made sure she was really gentle, almost too gentle for someone who's trying to check if the skin is too irritated. It seemed fine though, with as much as she could feel, which of course wasn't much, so she'd have to check it again.... without trying to be that gentle... somehow... Her eyes never left his as she whispered again, softly Care to relax a bit more and then go wash it off, and see it yourself?

[Jokor]

Jokor leaned as far back into the pillows as he could when vanna leaned towards him, trying to get some space between the two of them. Not really working though, she just kept going until jokor couldn't back away, their noses almost touching.
"Hmmm, and what would you like to get Jokor?"
She smiled at him again with that cheeky grin, winking at him. Jokor just blushed at that, not really sure about what to do right now.
"I don't really care." Jokor stammered out, Looking away from vanna, not really wanting to look inside her still pink eyes. Blushing even more as he felt her fingers brush over his tattooed skin.
"Care to relax a bit more and then go wash it off, and see it yourself?"
Jokor just nodded, happy to have a way out of this confusing mess he was in for even a short while.
