The Tattoo - Part 2
The Tattoo
“Abby there’s one more thing about being a Watcher which I think you will enjoy.” Ducky smiled at her. “You have to get the official Watcher’s tattoo.”
Abby squealed. “You have a tattoo, Ducky?”
They were sitting on opposite sides of the dining room table in Mallard home. Ducky had just finished giving Abby the basics of what it meant to be a Watcher of Immortals.
Ducky laughed, rolled up his left sleeve and held up his arm. There in ugly green ink was the symbol of their secret society.
Abby stood and moved to his side of the table to get a better look. She took hold of his arm and studied the ancient symbol. “Oh wow this is so cool. But does it have to be green?” She asked as she plopped down into the chair next to Ducky.
“I’m afraid it does. It also has to be on your wrist.” He explained. “I realize it is not as flashy as some of your other artwork but it is how we identify each other.”
“Oh” Abby said quietly.
“What’s wrong, Abigail?”
She looked down at her own wrists, adorned with several thick leather bracelets. “I always wear so much jewelry on my wrists; no one will ever see it.”
Ducky reached over to grasp her hand. “That my dear is really the point.”
“Couldn’t I put it someplace else? I’m thinking on my hip or – ooh - maybe my ankle that would be so much cooler. And color. It really could use more color.” She turned Ducky’s hand over to trace the circular symbol. Mentally she was redesigning the tattoo so that it would go with the myriad of art work already adorning her body.
“Well, I suppose as long as you could easily show it to another Watcher or Immortal when needed…”
“Yes, of course I would. Please Ducky.” She gave him her best pouty smile.
He laughed. “I must confirm the idea with Joseph, but if he agrees I see no reason you can’t be creative with the location.”
She gave a little squeal of triumph. “And the color. Ask Joe about the color.” Abby reminded him as she squeezed his hand as if to seal the promise.
“Am I interrupting, something?” Richie asked as he entered the dining room followed closely by Countessa. It seemed the youngest of the four corgies had decided that she was Richie’s personal guard dog.
“I’m getting a tattoo.” She said as she jumped up to greet Richie with a hug. She then bent down to scratch Countessa behind the ear. “Taking good care of Richie, are you girl?”
The dog whimpered with pleasure at Abby’s ministrations.
“Right, the tattoo. Guess that’s not gonna be a problem for you.” Richie laughed.
She gave Countessa a final pat and straightening to face Richie. “Wanna come with me?”
“Abby,” Ducky admonished. “Please wait until I’ve had a chance to confirm your request to modify the location and color before you go visiting any tattoo establishments.”
“No problem Ducky.”
“Good. Then let’s see what Joseph has to say, shall we.” He rose from the table and went into the other to make the call.
Richie raised an eye brow at Abby, “Where exactly do you want to put this tattoo?”
Abby just giggled and let Richie’s mind jump to its own conclusions.

A/N: Just wondering if anyone out there knows where I can get a picture of the Watcher tattoo. I'd like to include it for those who may not know what one looks like.
Thanks tosophiedb for the image of the tattoo - sorry it's so dark:
