"I can just draw it myself. I'm okay enough at art. I did a ton of the detailing on the Shellraiser and stuff."

He tapped one of the tattoo artists on the shoulder. "Can you give me something to draw with? I want to have something done custom."

The tattoo artist handed him a little tablet and a stylus to work with and he made quick work of drawing what he wanted. He didn't have any of his original shuriken because Benedict had taken all their original gear, but it was easy enough to draw from memory. He'd pretty much seen the symbol he wanted every day of his life.

"Can you do this one but with this in the center instead of the yin yang? I want it on my right upper arm."

"Yeah, sure. Have a seat."

Raph hopped into the seat very enthusiastically.

The man prepared a little pad attached to wires rather than a typical tattoo artist's needle, pressing it against Raph's arm. He hit a button and there was a brief whining noise and a warm feeling on Raph's arm. Then he peeled the pad away, revealing the tattoo.

"Wait, that's it?" asked Raph, disappointed. "I thought you had to use needles for tattoos."

"Maybe a hundred years ago," the tattoo artist laughed.

"Aw, come on, if it doesn't use needles, how'm I supposed to brag about how hardcore I am?"

Look at that disappointment.
