I hadn't noticed this before, had to rewind a couple times to figure out what was happening 😂 Now I'm imagining a mission where Rex was frantically trying to take his backpack off quickly and failing miserably, so now Ahsoka knows she needs to just take it off of him herself

“Are you absolutely certain that this is what you want?” Tech studied the sketches as they walked, absentmindedly keeping pace with his brothers. “From what I have read, it’s wiser to start with something smaller and located somewhere less visible—and less painful.”

“Visibility is the point!” Hunter said. “Why go through the trouble to get something that’s always covered by our armor?”

“I see. All the same, your particular designs and placements of choice are…concerning.” He held up Hunter’s drawing in the hazy light of the polluted city they were traversing. “Inking almost fifty percent of your face in one session is incredibly ill-advised. Large-scale shading is lengthy and painful, especially on sensitive body parts like the face. Not to mention that its size would make removal difficult. This,” he tapped the sketch of a face covered entirely on one side with a black skull design, “is extreme.”

“We are extreme, Tech.”

(He couldn’t exactly refute that, not without being hypocritical. Regs had been giving him a wide berth since his final piloting evaluation the month before.)

Hunter held up his helmet, showing off the new paint that already mirrored his desired tattoo design. The squad had just settled on their color scheme, and he was more enthusiastic about it than anyone. “Just think how wizard a skull would look with this paint job.”

“Supposed ‘wizard’-ness aside, I feel the need to remind you that your enhanced senses will make the experience of getting tattooed especially painful. You’d do well to minimize that with something smaller.”

“Skull,” was his brother’s one-word rebuttal.

Tech couldn’t stifle a frustrated sigh. Of all the people he could have been tasked with dissuading, it had to be the two most willful clones ever created.

He held up the other sketch and addressed Crosshair. “While you wisely opted for a small, simple design, you picked perhaps the worst possible location. I have read that the skin around the eyes is one of the most sensitive areas for a tattoo. What’s more, any number of complications are possible: a blowout of ink, infection due to unsanitary conditions, or even puncturing your eye. We are unfamiliar with this tattooist, and if an accident were to happen, you would run the risk of a permanent eye injury.”

“A very sunny thought,” Crosshair said, looking almost bored.

Tech frowned at the sniper. “Given your specialty, I would expect you to take that into heavy consideration.”

“Yeah, yeah. I’ve weighed and measured it and all that. We’re doing this.”

“Understood.” Dissuading any of his batchmates was a lost cause once they’d set their course. They were almost to the tattoo parlor; practically past the point of no return for either Hunter or Crosshair. “I assume you’ve at least hydrated in preparation like I advised?”

Crosshair scoffed. “What do I look like to you?”

“Frankly? The human incarnation of a dried kelp strip.”

“And you’re the human incarnation of a wet blanket.”

Tech wanted to argue, but just then, they reached the tattoo parlor. If he hadn’t already been protesting to a brick wall, he was now.

The establishment seemed sanitary enough. Tech interrogated the owner while his brothers consulted one of the artists about their sketches, and was satisfied to learn that the inks were prepared with distilled water and the needles were properly cleaned after every use. At least Hunter and Crosshair weren’t likely to get infections from their tattoos.

“Have you heard enough, or do you need to run a background check on everyone in this shop?” Crosshair demanded after Tech had peppered the artists with questions about the possibility of an allergic reaction to the inks, which was thankfully unlikely. “We have to be back at base in a few hours.”

He supposed it wouldn’t do to rush the artists. For the second time in less than an hour, Tech gave a long suffering sigh and relented. “For the record, you will both regret this.”

Neither of them listened, of course.

Hunter blacked out halfway through.

Tattoos Wrecker was just looking for some help putting sunscreen on his back, ended up with some new sun tattoos instead.

Fantastic 😂

Look I have a one-track mind and it keeps jumping tracks

Legible version of what I wrote is under the cut:

Echo: Wrecker, when I said I needed help lifting--

[Cut to Wrecker literally lifting Echo]

Echo: --this isn't what I meant.

Wrecker: It's okay! We'll switch places after this set!

= = =

Echo: Let's try this again--

Wrecker: [Holding onto Gonky] I can lend ya Gonky!

Echo: As much as I appreciate the gesture, I think I need to start with something smaller--

[Quick pan left to Omega, ready to be lifted]

Echo: [Tiredly, through a crooked smirk] ...No.

@summer-of-bad-batch

Omega has been eager to get a tattoo just like her brothers for a long time. They kept encouraging her to wait, with Hunter hoping that the idea would fade with time, and Echo being fearful of the prospects of something so permanent. But eventually they relented, and all that thinking time had allowed Omega to create the perfect stencil.
