- Aaron slowly getting into piercings and tattoos and stuff like “andrew would never pierce his ears so I’m gonna pierce my ears”
- (Andrew /does/ pierce his own ears just to piss Aaron off, but he let’s the holes close shortly after)
- Aaron gets drunk and makes Kevin drive him to a little tattoo parlor in Columbia at like 2am and he ends up getting a shoulder tattoo of like a rose or something
- he’s surprised when he wakes up and sees it the next morning but not displeased
- he’s also really relieved when a couple weeks pass and Andrew still doesn’t have the same tattoo
- it becomes like a thing though, like he starts to genuinely likes piercings and tattoos, so he keeps going
- it’s easy to hide his new tongue piercing while it’s healing because everyone is used to him going long periods without talking to them, they just assume he’s being bitchy
- they don’t actually find out about it until like a year later when he’s getting his lip ring, and they only find out because Nicky goes with him to get the new one and he sees the tongue piercing and forwards the news to every single person in his phone
- Aaron finds an old unsent letter that Tilda wrote (probably addressed to the twins’ dad or something) at the house in Columbia in an unpacked box of her stuff and the letter has “baby” written in it at least once, so he takes it to the tattoo parlor with him and has “baby” tattooed on his wrist in her handwriting and people think it’s like a cute bf/gf thing or something but it’s actually to remember his mom because you know that no matter how badly she treated him, Aaron still loved his mother
- consider Aaron Minyard with one of those nose rings with the really tiny gem,, oh, my god,,, I’m dead rip, Kevin is dead too, small blonde boy is so hot with the tiny nose gem
- he expands on the shoulder rose tattoo and pretty soon his entire arm is covered in flowers, it’s amazing
- and then there’s that one fox tattoo on his hip that he manages to keep secret until the cousins’ graduation when the older foxes come back to celebrate and he gets roped into a game of truth or dare and Allison dares him to take his shirt off because they’ve all got money on whether or not he has one of his nipples pierced
- (he does)
