WHO Natasha Romanoff & Cassie Banner-Romanoff WHAT Tattoo time WHEN Friday afternoon WHERE Indiana Gun and Tattoo Studio WARNINGS TBD, possibly just language STATUS Closed | Incomplete
It was pretty much three months to the day since she'd sent her mom the tattoo that she was going to get herself to remind her of her mom. Cassie would sit for her tattoo afterwards, but right now she was eager and nervous to begin work on her mom's tattoo. She'd settled on a spiderweb design with a small sized black widow spider to honor her mother's past as a superhero, much as Cassie hated the fact that said superhero life had led to Natasha's death. It was still bullshit and she was still mad as hell about it, but there wasn't anything she could do to fix it and ignoring it was impossible. Within the spiderweb was the outline of an eye along with her's and Alex's first names. Even if her potential future little brother never showed up again, Cassie thought it was only fair for her mom to remember both her kids.
She had the design in her notebook as well as on the transfer paper, though she was fully prepared to have to make a couple of changes on the fly if her mom had any adjustments now that she was seeing the tattoo idea for the first time. It had a lot of line work, which she was most comfortable with thus far, though she was definitely pushing herself in regards to the realism and black and grey approach she was taking to it. Cassie was confident that she could pull it off, but she was starting to feel some of the pressure.
"So, what do you think?" she asked her mother once they'd moved into one of the tattoo rooms. The thing was, Cassie really wanted her mother to like it, to think it was perfect and then she really wanted to knock it out of the park. All she ever wanted from her parents was validation that she was doing the right thing, even if they didn't fully agree with it. She had no doubt her parents wished she'd go for a traditional degree in college or something, but that wasn't her thing. Tattooing was more her speed. This was her first real opportunity to prove that.
