Writing Challenge Day 7 - The Tattoo

Flash Fiction Challenge, Day 7 - What tattoos you have and do they have meaning.

"Whoa!"

Robbie paused for a moment after yanking off his smelly shirt. He rolled his eyes as he grabbed another one from his drawer, trying to ignore his friend's comment.

"What the hell is that?" Jerry walked up and placed his finger on his friend's back, tracing the dotted line to the big red X in the middle

Robbie knocked Jerry's hand away, feeling his face flush with embarrassment. "It's a treasure map," he murmured.

"Well, I can see that. Uh, dude, why is there a treasure map tattooed on your back?"

Robbie sighed. "I saw it in a movie once. Pirates had been searching for this map to buried treasure when all along it was on their enemy's back. They had even ripped the guy's shirt open once and didn't see it because they didn't take it off. It was such a great moment when he revealed his back to the princess and told her he could save her kingdom. I thought getting it was cool at the time."

"Huh. That does sound sorta cool. In a dweeb-y sort of way." Jerry snickered.

"Tell me about it. I always wanted to reveal my back to some girl and have her swoon over it, since they've all seen A Pirate's Pleasure a million times."

"Just none of 'em ever wanted to get naked with you?"

"Nope."

"Well, get dressed so we can go hit the club. Maybe you'll get lucky tonight."

Robbie pulled on a clean shirt and raised his fists in a fight stance. "Arrrgh!"

Jerry shook his head.

"No?"

"No."
