Arabella the tattoo artist
It is Friday evening. Shortly before 6 p.m. Arabella sits in her tattoo studio and says to her tattoo trainee Maria: I think we can close the shop for today. The customer with the 6 p.m. appointment has just canceled.
Arabella Bereit opened her tattoo studio 7 years ago. Now 32 years old and the shop is doing well. Arabella has been a tattoo artist for 11 years. Six months ago, Maria, who is only 22 years old, started working for Arabella as a tattoo trainee.
Suddenly the door opens and a very pretty woman comes in. Arabella greets the pretty woman and asks her what she wants. The pretty woman replies that she would like to get a new tattoo now. Arabella looks at her and says: Well, we have time. The pretty woman smiles and introduces herself as Alexandra. Arabella introduces herself and Maria. Arabella tells Maria to close the shop door, Alexandra is the last customer today. Maria closes the door.
Arabella asks Alexandra what kind of tattoo she had in mind. Alexandra answers: I want a tribal with small flowers from the shoulder down, over the chest to the hip, past the groin and the tattoo should end on the thigh.
Arabella thinks about it and says: We can do it. This takes about 4 to 5 hours. Is this okay? Alexandra answers: yes, absolutely. Arabella asks Maria if she is willing to stay longer today. Maria nods.
Arabella prints out the tattoo template and draws everything.
Maria prepares the bed, sterilizes everything, sets out the colors and gets the tattoo machine ready for use.
Arabella asks Alexandra if she is ready. Alexandra nods, then suddenly looks thoughtful and then says to Arabella: I forgot to mention one thing. I am a transgender woman. Is this a problem? Arabella and Maria look totally surprised. Arabella then says to Alexandra: Well, I would never have looked at that. Well, I've never tattooed a tranny before. But I can manage it. Arabella winks. Alexandra nods with a smile and says: I just wanted to say it. Alexandra looks at Maria and says: I hope it's okay for you too. Maria smiles and nods.
Arabella then asks Alexandra to strip down to her underwear and lie on the lounger. Arabella says to Alexandra: Well, we'll start like this now, you can stay in your underwear. So that I can get to some places and tattoo them, you have to take off your bra and later also your panties. Of course you can have cloths from us to cover what you need. You should feel comfortable here with us.
Maria gets two small, thin white cotton towels and puts them aside for later.
Alexandra lies down on the lounger.
Maria looks at Alexandra and thinks: Wow, she looks really good.
Arabella asks Alexandra: Ready?
Alexandra nods.
Arabella turns on the tattoo machine and starts tattooing.
Maria looks on with interest.
