Week 4: Tuesday, April 23 Who: Catalina and Wes Where: Gun Smoke Tattoos What: Cat goes for her very first tattoo
Tuesdays tended to be slow in the school's kitchen for some reason and so it tended to be the perfect time for Catalina to slip away and spend some time on her own. Today she felt like heading into town, maybe doing some shopping, catching a movie or stopping by the new tattoo parlor that she'd read about on the school's journaling system. They were offering a pretty nice discount to boot and getting a tattoo was something she'd intended to do for awhile now - yet another life experience to add to a growing list. It was, after all, one of the few things she had yet to do in her ever-expanding lifespan and crossing it off the list seemed a good way to pass the time.
Cat had dressed casually for the day, not quite sure where it might take her, but wanting to be comfortable. She hailed a cab to head into town, stopped off for a quick bite at a little cafe she'd discovered soon after arriving and had grown quite fond of. It was off one of the main streets and allowed for some good window shopping afterwards, though nothing really struck her fancy. It was almost by accident that she came across Gun Smoke Tattoos. She'd simply turned the corner and there it was, staring her in the face. Had to be a sign, right? Nothing else was striking her fancy and she was bound to end up in the parlor eventually. No time like the presence.
She crossed the street and headed towards the shops front door, pulling it open to step inside. A bell sounded overhead to announce her presence, followed a moment later by the sound of her heels clicking lightly against the linoleum floor. She could hear a voice in the background - it sounded as if someone was on the phone - and so she busied herself with taking a moment to look over the impressive flash that covered the shop's walls. Some of it was more typical than she would pick for herself, but even in the most inane design there was obvious skill. She strolled along one side of the shop, eyes combing over the artwork displayed. So far the place was making quite the impression.
