I pulled out of Gingers' driveway with music blasting. It was currently 12:15 am, black people were never on time. Well in my defense, he didn't give me any time. Everyone was turning up in the back seat and drinking as I had opted to be the designated driver for the night.

We pulled up to the parking lot of the tattoo shop and it was completely packed with cars. The tattoo shop was on a strip so there was a parking space for other cars behind the buildings on the strip with signs in the front directing people to where they were based on their parking. I finally decided on parking on the other side of the street in front of a cupcake shop that was under construction.

The tattoo shop's blinds were closed and the sign read closed as well.

"Yo. Does anyone even have this nigga number?" Ginger said as she stared at the empty shop. Alexis then looked at Shy.

"What are you looking at me for?" Shy said as she looked back at Alexis.

"Uhh you was the one who had this nigga holding your phone and all smiley and giggly last week...that's what.." Alexis said

"Girl please, I ain't got that man's number, he was just a very charming guy. I needed him to hold my phone since I was literally biting the fuck out of my nails while he was tattooing my arm..that shit hurt." Alexis sighed and rolled her eyes as she took the lead to walk to the shop.

Alexis was like me, very quiet and soft-spoken, she was deemed as the "meaner" one since she had an RBF but she was really nice, she was just an introvert. But don't piss her off. That's all.

We walked up to the door and knocked, we didn't hear anything but we saw the cars, so, there were people. She then began to pull on the front door which was locked.

"Let's try the back way guys..." We began to the back and saw two dudes smoking a cigarette, one with tattoos all over his face and wearing a purple durag, while the other had platinum-colored hair that was pushed into a ponytail, he was Asian with tattoos all over his face and chubby cheeks, I noticed he was one of the ones walking down the strip with Jahseh.

"Yo! Y'all know where the underground shit at?" The two guys looked at each other and the one with the durag put out his cigarette so that he to talk.

"We'll take ya'll to it...who invited ya'll tho?" He asked

"Umm Jahseh...the tattoo artist..." The guys chuckled and the other guy put out his cigarette as they walked off signaling a come-on motion.

We walked to the back of the tattoo shop, one of the guys pulled out a sharp and tiny silver gadget that opened the door. He let us in and it was these stairs that led down to this huge basement-type area. White lights were flickering as the smell of alcohol, musk, and weed filled the air. I heard one of the guys mutter, "scuse' me" as he went in between us and led us down the stairs.

I looked back at the girls as they were looking around and observing the area. The music got louder as we walked further down, alternative rap music blasting through the speakers. Once we finally got to the floor level it was almost as if the guys had disappeared, smoke was everywhere, mosh pits were forming, and people were sweaty and wet. A couple of chicks were topless, pale white boobs flinging everywhere.

"Girl. Bitch. What the fuck is this?" All I could do was stare. We had all huddled close together since we didn't know anybody nor' was this our scene.

"I don't know let's just try and find this boy...before we fucking leave..." We tried our best to slide past each and every one of the mosh pits without getting thrown in, we found an area where people were standing, talking, and drinking. My eyes landed on the guy with the indigo locs as he was crowded by people and talking.
