gaming: nose piercing and eyebrow.
the guy canonically has an eyebrow piercing so
- when you first told him it was like he had been praying for days like these
- he's the man for the job, no doubt.
- definitely been wanting to get that piercing for a while, fully knowing his parents would be against it.
- gives it a bit more thought before deciding he's ready for it on a random tuesday at 2pm.
- you did make sure to ask him whether he really wants to do this like 25 times
"You know... I don't want you to feel like you have to do this-"
- you don’t want to guilt trip him into anything he didn’t truly want to do but before you can even attempt to retreat,
"Nonsense, seriously. Do you know how cool this is? My s/o wants to become a piercer, so of course I’ll be more than happy to be your first paying client! Plus I’ve been dying to get my eyebrow done, so this is perfect timing!” He’s made his choice, now there is no going back.
“Gaming I’m-“ He won’t change his mind by the way.
- he's persistent and even suggests you two match (only if you want to ofc)
- handles both piercings pretty well
- barely felt the eyebrow yet the nose piercing really made him shed a tear.
- 'pain is temporary, swag is forever' type of guy
- maybe gold for the nose piercing
- absolutely insists on paying you even when you tell him it's free for him.
- he does NOT wanna hear that 💀
- finds a way to slide in mora without you noticing anyway
- also doesn't want to hear you say that you're not good enough to be getting paid yet
- since he has bangs, he probably ended up hiding the eyebrow piercing from his parents for the longest time and they absolutely freaked out when they found out.
- they wanted to have a word with you especially his dad😭
- but gaming kept defending you
"I'm the one who insisted on getting it done, so if there's anyone to blame, it's me." The young man shields you and even if he is telling the truth, you can’t help but feel sorry. Maybe you shouldn’t have asked him out of all people.
- his dad never really got used to it but he tries to sort of compliment it either way💀
- his mom thinks they suit him for sure
- definitely thinks about getting more stuff onto his ears now.
- maybe a dermal? (basically a horizontal eyebrow piercing but next to the eye)
- will let everyone know that he's matching with you!!
- mentions you any chance he gets
"I'm sorry what was that?...Hm? Oh! You like my piercings? Awww, thank you...you're too kind. My s/o did them for me actually. Yes, for real, they're still getting the hang of it but they're already like super professional and everything, very attentive and hygienic, I can seriously only recommend. Their address? Sure! it's..." YOUR BIGGEST FAN AFTER THIS. He already was before but still.
sort of just agrees when you mention it😭
"You want to start piercing? Uhm- on me? What… Pftttt AHA- of course I’m not scared. Uhhhhh…I mean, sure. Well…whenever you are ready, mon chérie" An arm is swung around you and that pretty much did the trick. He isn’t scared, nope, Arataki ‘ain’t scared of nothin’ Itto will be your first test subject and that’s that.
- yes, the nickname is needed.
- i mean, he already has a few on his ears are and you can never have too many piercings, right?
- HE WANTS TO MATCH WITH USHI so he goes for a septum but in black
- and bc he's always shirtless either way, the nipples
- makes them look ‘cuter’ 😭
- gets them done just for you but you didn’t hear this from me
- can’t decide whether he wants them horizontally or vertically
- for the nipples he insists on golden jewelry
- chickens out for a second when he realizes you weren't just asking for funsies and sees you with actual gloves and a full set up
- even though he had his older piercings done the old school way
- a hot needle, half an apple behind the ear and prayers
- takes a deep breath and mans up bc he remembers how he already told the entire gang about the new piercings he's getting and he knows they are NEVER going to let him live it down if ends up peeing his pants and changing his mind
- also simply because it's you and he already agreed
- itto the don ALWAYS keeps his promises
- at the end of the day he really does wants these piercings and even with your lack of experience he trusts you,
- you know that he's scared of needles so you still try to talk him out of it kinda
- forget it, too big of an ego and even though he ‘totally isn’t scared’ he really wants to be your first client too
- another 'pain is temporary, swag is forever' dude
- definitely the type of guy to scream before the needle even remotely gets into contact with his skin.
- and i mean like a tom and jerry scream
- eyes shut, nails digging into the emotional support plushy and everything
- surprisingly took the septum like a champ!
- but the second the needle passes his first nip he’s practically out of the window
- you suggest you do the other one another time before he actually passes out
- but he still insists on getting everything done in this one session😭
- the scream almost makes you jump.
- seriously, you could’ve stabbed the guy.
“Nononononono- You said that you were going to be GENTLE! YOU ALMOST MURDERED ME”
“Well news flash baby, you aren’t making this any easier...”
- says he needs a minute and a minute turns into 10…
"Itto..." At this point, you’re considering asking Shinobu if she’d let you pierce her instead 😭
"OW OW OW OW-" And this guy still doesn’t want to leave it alone.
"Andddd...worst part is over, big boy” You try to talk him through it in the softest manner you know only for him to peek at you. You're halfway through anyway but he's too scared to look so you swiftly do the other. Another scream yet this one is high pitched.
- you just pierce him while he's at it and try to make it quick
-og drama king yep yep yep
- claims it wasn't even that bad💀 once it's over while simultaneously still having very visible tears in his eyes
- thinks the results are super metal too!
- of course they are, his beloved is the one who pierced them after all
- will make it everyone's problem
- he's never getting his nips pierced ever again
- thinks about getting his eyebrow pierced next tho
rosaria: industrial (ear), snake bites (on the left) and angel bites (right)
- black jewelry for the snake bites and silver for the industrial and angel bites.
- YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME SHE’s NOT HIDING AN INDUSTRIAL UNDER THAT HOOD AND HAIR
- honey this woman didn't need much convincing at all
- if it can help her avoid church…
- immediately went with the industrial since she can cover it up but needed more time to think on the snake bites.
- showed 0 reaction during the whole piercing process...
- so much that you had to make sure you hadn’t pierced a wrong nerve or something
"Uhm...you feelin' alright there, my love?" You set the needle aside, finally removing your gloves while the mauve colored nun who happens to be your partner slowly flutters her eyes open again.
"You're already done? I must say, you're pretty skilled at making sure not to hurt your client-“ Your brow almost cocks uo by instinct. It’s not like you had used any anesthesia on her face beforehand. Rosaria sits up and you can only stare profusely.
"I didn't exactly do anything, you know..." Now it’s her turn to stare.
" What do you mean you didn't 'do anything'?” You ask her again whether any noticeable pain was felt but to no avail. “No, I really didn't feel any discomfort. Actually, I barely felt the needle or the jewelry pass through for that matter...Hm. Never mind, it's not all that important anyway.”
-come to think of it her pain tolerance is just really damn high
- originally only wanted to do one side of the lip first before saying fiwb "let's get the other side too”
- claimed it “isn’t too bad” at first
- another one who insists on paying you one way or another
- barbara almost fainted at the sight of the snake bites.
- and when the angel bites came into the picture rosaria had even more reasons not to appear at the church choir😭
- the kind of person that got pierced once and never looked back
-the industrial was simply an experiment
-after that she fully went crazy and you couldn't be more happier whenever she came to you for yet another piercing
- can’t stop getting more and more
-actually had a nasty habit of biting down onto her lips which is now gone thanks to your magnificent work on her lips
- ended up developing this new habit of playing with her snake bites whenever she’s in deep thought and it always makes you smile
- ngl it makes you feel proud
- when Paimon commented on it, she suggested she get herself some piercings by you, the fairy pretty quickly declined
dehya: belly button piercing
“Hm… What jewelry specifically were you thinking? As long as it isn’t too crazy I’m good with whatever you say, boss” The brunette doesn’t seem to taken aback by your request and even humors you instead.
“Dehya…” You’re not ever really too sure whether you like the nickname she gave you as most of the time, it makes you feel as if you were one of her job givers and upon catching a glimpse of your frown, your partner immediately apologizes, a sweet tone lingering on her tongue.
“I’m sorry sweet stuff, but I’m serious though…Whatever you think suits me best goes. Uhm….just take it easy on the face, yeah ?” She means it.
- the moment she agreed you JUMPED
- you felt as if anything would suit her literally anything
- trusts you with whatever you choose for her as long as it isn’t too extreme 😭
- girly has them abs and that waist and you had too many ideas, back dimple piercing, hip piercing, tongue, titties….
- but you wanted to keep it cute and simple
- and Dehya felt most enthralled when she saw your finale choice
- so you settled for a belly piercing in gold jewelry of course
- she said the pain was something like getting your ears pierced
- simple at first but, as time goes on
- she definitely tries to doll up with more dangly metals once it heals up more and when she’s not on duty
- you also had to monitor her closely and pierce it during her vacation (which is rare for her to get in the first place)
- ngl after you were done at first she wasn’t too sure whether it suited her or not
- wasn’t used to such an exposed piercing
- but she didn’t have the heart to tell you and ended up falling in love with the piercing either way
- plus she trusts your judgment, always
“Thanks! Yeah, the dove here pierced it for me. Chose the jewelry and everything, a real professional at what they do if you ask me.” The lioness nudges you with a proud smile, a simple kiss falling on your cheek and you can’t help but only chuckle sheepishly.
- she loves it and not only because you’re the one who did it
- her s/o did it for her how could she possibly not absolutely like it?
- she kept getting compliments from everyone else and wouldn’t stop mentioning you anytime she could
- and so thanks to her you ended up with a whole new bunch of clients (lots of mercenaries!!!)
arlecchino: wrist piercing
- an odd one but still an elegant one
“So, you want me to be your ginea pig of sorts?” That’s definitely one way to put it! But yes! That’s more or less what you tell her
- silver jewelry (I almost want to say obviously)
- she doesn’t look like the type to get piercings except for the earlobes I know I know but
- it is you AND with the black fading seals on her wrists and forearms you knew it would simply add onto her look
- edgy and even if not everyone could see it it still has something
- you should definitely be proud of your work
- you ended up getting her approval with the condition that it’d be something minimal and easily hidden
- knowing how your partner always wears long sleeves
- you figured the wrist would suit her the best
- surprisingly (or not so surprisingly) she did not feel any pain whatsoever,
- funfact in general it isn’t a painful one at all!
- says it was very easy on her
- during the healing she had to make sure to not get the piercing caught up in pieces of clothing
- it was absolutely a struggle but luckily it did not end up getting infected 😭
“My dear, I was wondering whether I could interest you in the potential adornment of my other wrist? Oh? Most unexpected coming from me I am sure, but you must not fret. I somehow cannot help but feel that more sharpening on one’s practical skills is never too bad of an idea. Experience is cumulative after all…So? Is that a yes?” YES
- baby she ends up eating it up too actually
- two wrist piercings it is
- sadly that’s as far as it goes 😞
- she does end up getting very attached to them
- it serves her as a reminder of how cool and talented her s/o actually is!
- lyney thought that it suited his father a lot,
- lynette thought it was fine
- and freminet didn’t really have a fixed opinion :x
- which means that the knave’s kids more or less approved 💯
mavuika: back dimple piercings
-I feel like this one is sort of self explanatory idk
- but for the sake of this I’ll explain
- shes a baddie now come on-
- nah I’m just playing with you no I’m not
- she did have to second think this because
“Sweetheart, I don’t know…” She’s perplexed at first because on one side, you’re her partner and she’d love for her to be your first client but on the other…girl….
- she doesn’t know whether piercings would even suit her in the first place (the ears don’t count)
- she asks you for a night to sleep over it
- ends up agreeing because it’s you😭 but with the one condition that you keep it cute and lowkey
- when you tell her about back dimple piercings…
“That’s…creative. Is it because I drive a motorcycle? Or how exactly did you come to this conclusion?” Now you’re scared you chose the wrong piercing for her but she reassures you just in time.
“No I like it…Oh sweetie…I like this a lot actually” You thought that since she’s always wearing that tracksuit and yes because she drives a motorcycle and because she aesthetically has the body for it, it’s a goal.
- plus it’s sort of a treat for yourself too
- you take that however it resonates with you
- black jewelry since she’s so pale so it sticks out much more
- another person whos pain tolerance is so goddamn high
- she doesn’t even flinch, makes a face when she turns you look at them in the mirror
She looks over her shoulder “Hm…Most impressive…You really outdid yourself sweetie. I love it.” A simple turn and the face her reflection reveals isn’t even worth all the riches Teyvat has to offer, you try to memorize as fast as you possibly can before the moment flees. The beads look stunning on her. Horizontally and ingrained into the small valleys of her back dimples. Perfection.
- it makes you twirl your hair ngl 😭🙏
- be prepared to get a horde of customers in the next few days
- being who she is the lady has her ways
- to sum it up you’re pretty much the only person that gets to see these
- and she likes to keep it that way
xiao: hip piercings and venom
“Do humans really enjoy pain and discomfort so much that they are willing to go through it for something as futile as aesthetic fulfillment?” Did you just get stabbed?
- so you explain him the concept of a piercing from a ‘humans perspective’
- something he obviously already of knew about kinda but he never really spared a second thought to it
- what he’s even more confused about is that you think he could rock one of these
- he’s really hesitant and so
You only bothered to ask once and since Xiao is a yes or no answer type of guy, you obviously don’t want to force him into anything when you see the lack of enthusiasm in his response, being rather perturbed at the fact that you’d pick him for your task. But before you can turn on your heel and let the conqueror of demons vanish- “Wait, s/o. I suppose I lack the understanding as to why you would think that I am the right candidate for your request, and I strongly doubt that I’ll would perform to your satisfaction but…if it’s with you…I’ll do it.”
You almost want to hug him and tell him that it is never that deep. Plus, you feel that he might have misunderstood something. So you berate him.
“Xiao, you won’t have to do anything” It’s more or less an attempt to relax him. Whether it worked or not, is to be guessed.
- as soon as you mention that you even pierced Zhongli’s ear as a test before asking the adeptus, he’s good to go😭
- pretty much reassured and goes which ever way the river drifts
- you’re the one deciding on that
- another one who insists on having you choose the piercing in question
- he wants to have it somewhere you can’t see easily
- since the only parts that are uncovered are his arms, face and ears
- you go for hip piercings because it’s not something just anyone has
- if you were going to pierce him you’d go for something unusual but still discreet and that suits him *cough cough mans wearing a tight ass shirt 24/7 idk*
- also he just has the body for it
- and the pain was minimal, at least that’s what he claimed
- he’s gone through worse obviously two small piercings don’t even begin to compare
- and the tongue piercings….well it’s because I said so damn it
- you tell me how you convinced him on that one idk
- also decided to get a simple ear piercing on the left ear like Rex Lapis to wrap it up
- that woman is BOLD ok?????
- IM BEGGING YOU hoyo knew she’d be too powerful with a tongue piercing
- she’s flattered when you ask her and she already has her own wishes
“Hey sure thing…What do you think about…tongue?” She suggests and you’re about to pass out but hey…you want to do this job, remember? So regardless whether it’s your partner or not…you gotta stay professional.
No but she’s serious with the request. She also thinks it gives sort of a risky look and your reaction tells her everything she needs to know.
“It’s a date then.” The captain smirks at your pretty obvious face, you can’t wait to get the work done.
- bruh you were nervous as hell the whole time while she was pretty chill and compliant obviously
- like she’s staring at you while you’re setting up the needle and jewelry and everything and she can’t help but chuckle at your red cheeks and trembling hands.
- but after 30 seconds it actually worries her
“Relax rookie…I promise I won’t bite you. You got this, ok? And if you don’t feel like doing it today, or ever actually, then that’s fine too…Don’t sweat it, love.” Beidou can be a friendly tease but when it comes down to it, she cares about your well-being and never wants you to rush anything.
- but you said that you wanted to pierce her, you asked for this and even though you’re nervous, you still push through
- you wanted to give her that tongue piercing and honey, you delivered
- silver jewelry! although I also see her with silver but ruby bells.
- takes it like a champ only hissed and hummed a little when the jewelry passed through but she claimed it was manageable so yeah
- curses at the fact that she can’t eat properly and speak too much for the next two weeks😭
- once it’s fully healed tho…
- she thanks you in more ways than one and tbh
- i see her with an eyebrow piercing as well!
- also won’t stop promoting you, her crew members all want a piercing done by yours truly
- he’s also a yes or no type of guy so yk
- his opinion is quickly voiced
“Not happening.” You’re not surprised but the reflex to sulk is stronger than you. “Not even your ears?-“ “Forget it” Fair enough
- he cynically tells you to ask sethos and funnily enough you do end up piercing both his ears!
- sethos starts wearing dangly earrings right after and makes it everyone’s business so obviously
- after a few days wanderer sees it and idk
- it’s not like he’s jealous or angry about it but he still didn’t think you’d just go and do it
“Fine…I’ll let you do it” You try to tell him that this isn’t obligatory and that he was literally the first person you were thinking about because he’s your partner and you’d find something that suits him.
- you don’t want him to feel forced to go through this but he halfheartedly insists
- at least that’s what it seemed like
- he does assure you that he’s serious and not for the reasons you think
- after that he decides that he’s willing to get a piercing…
“If it can somewhat cover up the base of my nape…that would be nice.” He didn’t need to elaborate, it takes a nod and you understand. His wish is your command, so you try your best to make it happen, you pick out a strand before returning a simple beam. But promising.
“I’ll see what I can do.”
“You have my thanks…for this and…for keeping up with me.”
- he means the electro mark obviously, you know why
- and what do you know? great thing nape piercings exist!
- even if they didn’t you would’ve invented them just for him
- he also simply wants something that isn’t too showy
- black or silver jewelry!!
- said the pain was tolerable but wouldn’t do it again
- thinks it’s actually really pretty afterwards and he does end up showing his gratitude
- this man will always be grateful for you 🙂↕️
a/n: sorry if the end seemed a bit rushed. Anywayyyy this pretty much the amount of characters tumblr will me to post so I’ll see you in the next one folks!! Take care luv sic!!!
