Tots ‘n’ Tats

In which Pistol inspires a new generation.

GRACIE: It’s good you got them to put it there [taps Pistol’s wrist tattoo] because it’s sort of like a secret. A good secret.
BABY: I want one. [Taps own wrist.]
SAUCY: You have to be a grown-up, dummy.
BABY: And it go bzzz-zzz-zzz. At the tattoo shop. Right Pistol?
GRACIE: Saucy called Baby dumb.
BABY: Bzzz-zzzz-zzzzzzzz. [Gives self air-tattoo.]
GRACIE: But it would be a bad secret if you got a big one on your stomach and then you went to the beach and you had a bikini, because that would be ugly. Right?
PISTOL: Uh-
BABY: It go bzzzz-zzzzzz-zzzzz, right?
PISTOL: Right.
BABY: At the tattoo shop.
PISTOL: Uh-huh.
BABY: It hurted?
PISTOL: Yeah.
BABY: I want it.
GRACIE: Do you want the same picture Pistol has, or do you want a different picture, Baby?
BABY: I want a dragon.
SAUCY: But he can’t, right? He has to wait until he’s a grown-up.
PISTOL: Yes.
BABY: When I a big boy I get a dragon.
PISTOL: Let’s wait and see what happens when you grow up. Let’s not tell Uncle just yet. Okay?
BABY: Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
GRACIE: And you know where you should never, never get a tattoo?
PISTOL: Where?
GRACIE: Your face.
