*Casper's POV*

I watched as Candy carved gorgeous designs into my left and right thigh. One was an intricate pattern of swirls, and the other, were the words, 'We all have our addictions.'

When she was done, she bandaged them, and then got the stuff for the tattoos. 

She tattooed the ever changing pattern of the moon across my shoulder blades near my neck, right above the skeleton chief back piece. Then she tattooed a black and white rose on my right hand just below my thumb. Then she tattooed a raven on my ribcage, which brought tears to my eyes. Then the final tattoo was across the back of my forearms. She did 2 peacock feathers. One on the left arm, and one on the right arm.

After she bandaged them, she got the stuff for my piercings. 

She pierced my helix, and then pierced the 4 empty spots in the cartilage of my ear. Then she pierced my bellybutton, and added spider bites on both sides of my labret piercing.

After those were cleaned, she got the tapers to gauge my ears up 2 sizes. After the new plugs were put in, she got the stuff that she needed for the dermals.

She picked the left side of my waist, and put black dermal jewelry into the shape of a heart.

When those were clean, she hugged me. I paid and walked out to the lobby where Jason was waiting for me.

He looked at me, and could tell that it was super painful to do what I just did. We got into the car and I drove us home. It took physical pain, to be able to make my emotional pain to disappear. That was my addiction and I now understood the purpose being the scarification piece Candy did on my thigh.
