Mary-Beth started giggling when she saw the look on Eden's face and listened to her protest getting a nipple piercing. "I'm sure they'd love it if you showed them a nipple piercing. It might boost you to the cover of a magazine, pulling a stunt like that." She paused for a minute and considered it. "Don't flash the crowd though. ...but really, they're pretty fun." Mary-Beth grinned and shimmied a little as if to try and suggest that Eden get her nipples pierced. She had hers done at one point before she got pregnant, but after Nikki was born, they were too sore and she needed to breastfeed anyways.
"I practice drawing all of the time too, ya know." Mary-Beth didn't want to be the one to crush the girl's dreams but someone had to be realistic. M-B grabbed her phone out of her back pocket and started to text her husband. She couldn't keep a poker face for much longer with Eden, before she'd have to just flat out start ignoring the girl and that would kill her. "Go back to Temple," Mary-Beth said, without any tone in her voice, entranced in the texts between her and JJ. She ignored pretty much the rest of Eden's speech and when she finally tuned back into the conversation, she had only caught onto the last few sentences about getting the tattoo on her buttcheek. Mary-Beth just rolled her eyes instead of saying anything back.
"What's so wrong with being a housewife and having babies? I do that sometimes," Mary-Beth winked at Eden. It probably wasn't going to help the situation one bit but it was kind of true when she wasn't working at the shop. "You think I would give my own kids a tattoo before it's legal? I might as well beat them when they paint on my walls then too since it'd have the same legal consequences!"
Mary-Beth quickly texted her husband back before spinning around a few more times in the chair silently. "Show me how good you are at covering up a tattoo." She rolled her chair over to the station she usually inked people at and grabbed her purse, tossing it to Eden. Which tattoo of hers should she try to cover up? There were a bunch to choose from and the hardest one to cover up was probably the one under her tits because it was thick lettering and pure black, but she wasn't about to get locked up for showing a minor her boobs if Eden decided to pull a fast one. So while Eden rummaged through her bag for make up, Mary-Beth texted J.J. again and then pulled up the back of her shirt, to show off a large, colorful floral tattoo going down her left side.
