'What's ya wanna do today Rich?' JC asked. Kevin raised his shoulders.

'Let's go do somethin' outrages! Somethin' impulsive?!' Mike said.

'Great idea Mikey. Let's eh... get a tattoo down town at Tony's!' Kevin suggested. JC's face lit up. Jake Muldoon shook his head.

'Mum 'll kill me!' he said.

'So? Mine 'll skin me alive! Let's do it!' Mike added smirking.

'My folks don't care shit.' Kevin said. 'They won't mind.'

'Cool! Let's go!' JC suggested. Kevin and JC persuaded 8 kids to get tattooed that day.

They hopped into their cars and drove down town.

'Hey Tony!' Kevin said as they entered the shop.

'Kev! Brother of mine!' Tony exclaimed. 'How've ya been?'

'Excellent Tone.' Kevin smirked. 'I'm gettin' a too today.'

'Oh really...' Tony said and glared at Kevin. 'Ya sure?'

'Yeah positive.'

'Your gonna get your ass whipped by big J.!' Tony knew.

'If you think, for one sec, that I'm scared of that animal they call my brother... My man you're wrong!'

'Kay then. Pick one.' The guys walked over to the picture books.

'This one is cool!' JC exclaimed. 'Tribal signs!'

'Neh, too eh... flashy!' Mike said.

'Tribal is good.' Kevin mentioned. 'A cross would be nice.'

'How 'bout this one?' Tony said and showed him a picture. 'A tribal cross!'

'That's it!' Mike exclaimed.

'I love it!' Kevin yelled.

'Where would you like it?' Kevin thought deep and hard.

'My upper arm.' JC said.

'Shoulder.' Mike figured.

'I'll take it on my shoulder blade. Right... there.' Kevin said and reached for the spot on his back.

'Kay. Take your cloths off.' Tony said. Kevin nodded and stripped until he was wearing only his jeans.

'Sit down right here. This is gonna take at least... 4 hours. So sit back and relax you guys.' Tony said and picked up his pen to draw the picture on Kev's shoulder blade. DING DONG

'Yo Tonester!' Craig yelled.

'Yo Craig-myster!'

'Craig-man!' Kevin yelled.

'Kevy-boy! Long time no see kid, how's ya bother?' Craig asked.

'Doin' cool.' Kevin replied.

'Craig. You're the one I needed!' Tony exclaimed.

'Why?' Craig wondered.

'These 8 guys want this picture tattooed. All of 'em. I need all the help I can get, or they'll be here all day.'

'Sure. Let me call J and Trin as well. They're free.' Craig added.

'Sure. Kay Rich. Here goes.' Tony said and placed his needle in Kevin's skin. Kev flinched once but stayed cool through out the whole 6 hours.

Tony, J, Craig, Trin and Noel finished the last tattoo at 5 PM that day.

'Pay time boys.' Tony said. The guys paid as they checked their new pride in the mirror.

'Thanks Tone! It's awesome!' Kevin exclaimed as he traced the red lines with his index finger. 'Very nice.'

'It suites you.' Trin said. 'I like my men dangerous.'

'You do, don't cha.' Kevin said flirtatious. 'Then let me be your man Trinity.' Trin smiled devilish and licked her lips.

'Here's my number.' She said and handed him a card. 'Call me.'

'I will. Come on guys. We're leaving. Bye Tone, thanks again.'

'No probs Kev. Say hi to Tim for me.'

'I will. See ya Trin!'

'Kiss, kiss Kevy-boy.' Trin exclaimed as she blew him a kiss. Kevin turned around, "caught" the kiss and walked out.

'You did what?!' Ann exclaimed. Kevin came home and immediately showed her his new pride.

'Isn't it cool mum?' he asked as he took of his shirt. Ann carefully touched the red lines.

'Doesn't it hurt baby?' she wondered.

'Yeah, it burns a bit.' Kevin replied. 'Let me put something on it to stop the burning.' She suggested. Kevin nodded and sat down.

A door flew open and Kevin's brothers came in.

'Ey Kev!' Tim said and smiled broadly. 'What have ya been up to?'

'Nothin' much.' Kevin replied. 'What do ya think?'

'What?' Tim wondered. Kevin turned and showed him the tattoo.

'This!'

'Wow!' was all Tim could say. 'Very nice.'

'I thought so too.' Kevin smirked. 'It's my pride.'

'If that's your pride...' Jerry smirked. 'Then you are the pathetic loser I figured you were. '

'Jerald.' Ann said. 'Behave!'

'No mother!' Jerry shouted. 'If Tim doesn't tell him the truth, I will.'

'Okay, then tell me!' Kevin yelled.

'Dad is gonna kick your butt!' Jerry knew.

'Yeah, and if he doesn't... Jerry will. Won't ya Jer?!' Tim added.

'It would be my pleasure.' Jerry smirked, stood up and walked away.

'Ignore him Kevin.' Tim said as soon as Jerry was gone. 'He's an animal.'

'You know, Tony said the same thing.'

'Tone did this?' Tim figured.

'Yep, he says hi. And wants to know when you're planning on dropping by.' Kevin added.

'Cool. Return the favor if you happen to bump into him.' Tim said.

'I will.' Kevin said and stood up. 'I'll be upstairs working on my history essay if anybody needs me.'

'I'll walk with ya.' Tim said and followed his brother.

'So ya really like it.' Kevin said as they walked up the stairs.

'It's nice. But you knew that Jerry was gonna freak.'

'Yeah, so.'

'Why did ya do it?' Tim wondered.

'I dunno. We where bored and needed some fun.' Kevin said and smirked.

'I've got Trinity's phone number!'

'You did!' Tim exclaimed. 'You lucky bastard!'

'Thank you.' Kevin said opened his bedroom door. He walked inside and yelled. 'What the fuck?!'

The place was a mess!

'My God.' Tim whispered. 'It's even worse than last time... He's challenging you.'

'I know.' Kevin walked in and sat down on his bed. 'The tattoo really pissed him off.'

'That's for sure.'

'But I'm not scared of him. Teach me some more karate moves Tim. I might need it later.'

'Sure.' Tim said and they practiced martial arts for hours.

Dinner was at 6 o'clock. Kevin and Tim where watching TV in the living room waiting for their mother to call them.

'What are you gonna tell dad?'

'I don't know. I guess I'd start by telling the truth. What do ya think?' Kevin replied.

'The truth sounds good. Do that.' Tim replied.

'I thought so too bro.'

'Boys, dinner!' Ann called.

'Ha! Dinner is served!' Tim exclaimed and shot up. Kevin did the same, pushed his brother aside and sat down at the table first.

'Don't do that again Kev!' Tim growled. 'Or I'm gonna hafta kick your ass!'

'Please do. I can't wait.' Kevin replied smirking on his own comment.

'Boys, be nice to each other for a change!' Ann begged.

'Sure mum, we...' Tim said but stopped when his father walked in. Jerald smiled, kissed his wife and sat down.

'How are my favorite people doing?' he asked.

'We're doin' great dad.' Tim said.

'Nice to hear that.' Jerald smiled. 'And you Kevin, how was your day?' Kevin looked up to his father and forced a smile on his face.

'Great dad.' He answered, took a deep breath and continued.

'Check this out.' Kevin rolled up his sleeve to reveal his tattoo. Jerald looked at it, eyes his wife then stared at his son. The room was quiet.

Everybody was waiting in shock, for their fathers reaction.
