Inked in Blood

By J.M. Snyder

A bad evening spent breaking up with his lover finds Tom at Tattoo 804 moments before the parlor is about to close. The only artist is Rist, a strange guy with a fetish for vampires who agrees to ink Tom after hours.

What begins as a simple procedure turns erotic when Rist notices how hard Tom is for him. They get it on right there in the tattoo chair, giving into their primal desires. But when their tryst takes an unusual turn, Tom wonders if Rist is just into a little blood play ... or if he isn't one of the undead himself.

Inked in Blood

By J.M. Snyder

I decided to get my last tattoo on a whim. It was late in the evening, almost nine o’clock, but the red Open sign still blazed outside Tattoo 804. I could see the neon as I cruised down Broad Street, heading home from what had turned out to be a wasted night. The guy I’d been seeing on and off the past few weeks had chosen tonight to break things off with me…after I paid for dinner, of course. So I wasn’t in the best of moods as I shifted gears, trying not to hit any of the lights as they flickered from green to red along Richmond’s main drag. I missed the one just before the tattoo parlor, and my brakes squealed as I ground to a halt at the intersection a block away. As I revved my engine, I stole a glance at Tattoo 804’s large, inviting windows—the pool table inside called my name, and I could think of a place or two on my body that needed new ink. Before I could change my mind, I stepped on the gas pedal and shot through the light when it finally turned green, coasted across two lanes of traffic, and eased to a stop at the curb in front of the place.
