BEHIND THE SCENES
Getting a tattoo
This chapter is very visual and therefore lends itself to a lot of images. It is also a long chapter, almost as long as chapters 1 and 3 combined.
On their way to the tattoo shop
I like the mental picture of the submissive holding the umbrella above her Mistress head, while getting soaked as a result of that. Yes, within a “normal relationship they would have used the umbrella to keep them both partially dry, but not Sylvia. With a grace similar to a halo’s gentle embrace, she positions the umbrella to shelter Jutta from the rain.
Her reaction to the guys hanging out in front of the tattoo shop shows she is used to these situations. She has been a teacher all her life in a high school. You don’t have to tell her how to handle a situation like that.

Alexandra
I bet you did not think she looked like this, huh?

Alexandra, the queen of the needle, is a very appropriate name. The name of the King of the Netherlands is Alexander.
Waiting room
In the waiting room, Sylvia gets from a girl (14 going on 40) a tank top to replace her wet shirt. This is what she got:

Overcome your fears
The rest of the chapter is about being afraid and not being scared to share that with others.
Is it possible to get a tattoo when you are scared to death of needles? Yes. I have seen it from someone very close to me personally. She was scared to death of needles. They needed a couple of nurses to hold her while she got her injection, and now she has several tats on her body. All of them adding to her self confidence and a symbol of how you can overcome your fears.
To all vanilla readers, the method of Jutta may be over the top. Yet this is the language Sylvia understands and appreciates. Not sure if Jutta feels the same way, though.
