Here’s this week’s Flash Fiction for the Aspiring Writer.
Ink
“That’s 49.” George sighed, letting the warmth of satisfaction pass through him. It contrasted nicely with the cold outside. So close to done.
The stinging in his leg pulled his attention back to present. The buzz of the needle was the only sound while the tattoo artist worked. The artist leaned back and admired her work. A beautiful black outline of a malamute wrapped around his shin.
“49 Tattoos?”
George chuckled. “Yes. Some people collect license plates. I get decorated. 49 designs on the car. 49 on the skin. Almost done. Just one more state to go.”
“Good luck man.”
He nodded and smiled.
Now how was he going to get the car to Hawaii?
What a great idea! (Both yours and his.) I hope for his sake he chose much simpler (and smaller) designs for his tattoos than what he could fit on the car!

Yeah, that might be awkward getting a life-size tattoo of the golden gate bridge. Thanks for reading!

Awesome! Glad you picked up something new. Most people know “huskies” but malamutes aren’t as known. Thanks for reading.

Oh, this is awesome. A tattoo for every city. I think he might be able to get the car on a ship and travel to Hawaii that way? 😉
