We’re in the dungeon at Cool Runnings. Yes. It’s ACTUALLY called the dungeon. Which is appropriate, cos this is the monthly meeting of a bondage and discipline group. It used to take place at Merlin’s Pub a block and a half up the road, but that place is being sold, so Burning Lash, our alpha dom, has negotiated a new space.<\/p>\n
Tonight’s topic is tattooing. Shani is the guest speaker, and she’s set up a computer showing some of her proudest tats. <\/p>\n
I’m here with Karen. Yes, it’s true that we’re no longer a couple. But we’ve agreed that we’ll be seeing each other “extramurally”. And it’s working very nicely. Now that we’re not doing coupledom, there’s no pressure to fall in love or anything mushy. Which makes things very pleasant. Especially when she’s on my bed and I bring out the chains. Chains are our friend. We love chains.<\/p>\n
The talk starts, and Shani is clearly heavily passionate about tattooing. “People ALWAYS ask me, ‘Does it hurt?’ And I always tell them, ‘HELLLLLL YESSSSSS!’ But then I also tell them that it’s a good pain.”<\/p>\n
Several of the submissives in the audience start giggling, and their doms give them affectionate pats on the head. I give Karen an affectionate hard tug on the hair. “Hmmmmm!” she says.<\/p>\n
When question and answer time comes up, one of the doms asks, “What’s the MOST painful place to tattoo someone?”<\/p>\n
Shani points to the top of her head. “That’s bad,” she says. “But a lot of people say the base of the spine is really hectic.”<\/p>\n
“Ah, cool,” says the dom. “Base of the spine it is then!”<\/p>\n
I say, “Is there any way to make the tattoo hurt even more?”<\/p>\n
Shani just rolls her eyes at me.<\/p>\n
Just then, there’s a weird drunken chuckle from the back of the room. It’s in shadows, so it takes a while to notice that we’ve got visitors. A trio of very smoked-up rasta guys. They’ve slipped in through the back door, and they’re now getting heavily entertained by these odd people. My bum is lifting off my chair to help get rid of them when Burning Lash steps up to the plate.<\/p>\n
“This is a private function, I’m afraid,” he says. And it’s clear he’s afraid of nothing. “So you guys must leave.”<\/p>\n
One of them says, feebly, “Oh, sorry, man, hey, like, we didn’t, like, know, hey? Cool brother? One love.” And they leave.<\/p>\n
Shani tells us about ultra-violet tattoo ink. “Invisible under normal light,” she says, “but amazing under ultra-violet light. A bitch to work with though, cos you’ve got to do the tattoo in the dark.”<\/p>\n
Burning Lash exclaims, “Bar codes!!!” Several of the doms echo him. From his enthusiasm, and from his rushing up to Shani at the end to get her business cards, it’s very clear that his slave may very well have his ownership barcode drilled into her skull sometime very soon.<\/p>\n
While we’re milling around, someone whips out a handmade flogger. It’s basically a stick with a dozen or so light leather thongs attached to it. A bit like a cat o’ nine tails, but without the embedded bits of lead. Buring Lash orders his slave to bend over, and he gives it a test. It swishes like a martial arts move, and connects like twenty thunderclaps. <\/p>\n
I’ve never used one before, so I’m curious. I watch his technique, and when he’s finished, I ask if I can try it. He hands it to me, and Karen bends over without needing to be ordered. I give her a couple of hard strokes, and find it a little bit puny. “How was that?” I ask her.<\/p>\n
“Very light. But you got me warmed up a bit there at the end.”<\/p>\n
She’s spending the night at my place tonight. Looks like we’re both a bit warmed up.<\/p>\n
