More Metal

Ruby kept looking at me, grinning as she watched me twist and turn, trying to see what was happening as I felt the cool sensation crawling up along my back. A shudder ran through me as the sensation reached the base of my neck, soon followed by a sharp pinching sensation in my bottom lip.

I brought my hand up to the cold metal hanging from my lip, feeling the ball of metal on one end. Stopping as I realized that swarming ink was running up along my arms as well, holding them both out in front of me as I watched two full length sleeve tatoos form, while the ink seemed to refuse to settle on a design, constantly shifting.

''Something got your tongue?'' Ruby asked with a giggle.

Crossing my arms, I stuck my tongue out at her, only for my eyes to go wide as I felt a familiar pinching sensation followed by a cold chill on my tongue, quickly pulling it back into my mouth and feeling the metal clack against my teeth slightly. Moving my tongue around confirmed my suspicions and I had to move my jaw around, trying to get comfortable with the foreign piercings.

''You know, that's actually a lot of work. I know a girl who spent a couple thousand just on the sleeves''

Not wanting to talk, I gave Ruby the finger in response

''Sorry? I don't speak sign language, you're going to have to tell me what that means?'' She was leaning forwards gleeful expression clearly showing how much she was enjoying this.

''Fhhk...'' My retort was cut short as the sensation of my lip piercing hitting my bottom teeth made me stop and curl my lips.

Ruby however, just started to laugh.

''Fuck you. Roll'' Readying myself to deal with the piercings, and being more careful with my movements, I managed to respond. Pulling up a seat next to Ruby and nodding towards the machine.

''Okay, okay. Here goes'' She said, reaching out and pulling the lever.
