The glow came from thousands of small spots a few millimeteres across on a side, and I realized I was looking at a dragon.The glow came from thousands of small spots a few millimeteres across on a side, and I realized I was looking at a dragon. The head was at her right shoulderblade looking left, it's wings across her back. The tail trailed her left leg and stopped right above her knee, and the talons were visible on her right buttock and hip. The coppery color flowed and shimmered, and the spaces between the spots became more obvious, resolving into scales. I was impressed with the technology, but more than that I was impressed with artwork. It was beautiful. "Kathy?" "Yeah?" "Can I have a photograph of this for my wall?" "You like it?" "Like it?" I said. "It's incredible. Who did this?" "The artwork is Pan's." She turned around and walked back over to me, sitting naked in my lap. "He did it for me a few months ago, as a painting, and I had Dr. Temgif transfer the image onto me." I tentatively put my hand against her back, and stroked her skin. She cooed at my touched, and it felt like normal skin. "What is it?" I asked. "It's just a light-emitting tattoo." "Does it hurt?" "What now? Or getting it?" "Both." "Well, now it doesn't hurt at all. It feels like my normal skin, and really that's all it is. I don't notice it at all, and there's no change in my perception of touch. |
