prologue
The hum and the sting.
The artist bent over my wrist, tracing the outline of the simple design with the needle, the gun. Filling in the lines with ebony and shadows. My skin soaked up the ink in a way that made the girl murmur appreciatively.
âThis is going to look great,â she told me. âSuper fucking cool.â
It hurt. Of course it did. Tattoos always doâitâs not like theyâre licked on by baby unicorns with tongues made of kittens for fuckâs sake. I had two others, a small Jewish star on my right hip and a somewhat-but-not-entirely regretted tramp stamp of a flaming sun on my lower back. This one on my wrist burned worse than the others had. Ink always hurts, but itâs a clean sort of pain. An on-purpose ache that lingers when the tattoo is finished and healing, and sometimes even long after, like your skin forever wants to remember how it felt to be so marked.
âWhat do you think?â She sat back and wiped my skin again of any excess color.
I didnât need a mirror to see the inside of my left wrist. Iâd picked that place because I would always be able to see it, whether I wanted to or not. The design there, no bigger than a fifty-cent piece, was simple. Black and gray. Stylized lines and curves that nevertheless clearly made a picture. The skin around the edges of the design was still a little raised and red the first time I saw it. Still stinging. Looking at it would always sting.
âWhy a rabbit?â she asked with a tilt of her head. âI donât usually ask, to be honest. I mean, itâs personal, yeah?â
I nodded. âYeah.â
âAnd far be it from me to judge,â she continued. âI mean if youâd wanted a butterfly or a fairy or a flower, I wouldnât even ask. But a rabbitâs cool. Whatâs the significance?â
âItâs so I donât forget,â I told her.
She grinned and didnât ask me what I needed to remember. âFair enough. Youâre satisfied, then?â
Satisfaction wasnât exactly what Iâd been going for. Pain and permanence, yes. An eternal reminder. But since Iâd been given those things, and the design weâd worked up together was exactly as sheâd drawn it, I had to nod.
