Summary:
When first time Ray saw Fraser’s bare arms he was taken aback. Not because Fraser had nice looking arms (which he did) but because he had a tattoo of a Canadian flag on his forearm.
‘Cool ink,’ Ray said with a grin because while the tattoo was unexpected it was still nice; the colors were bright and the red maple leaf stood out against Fraser’s pale skin. Usually white ink faded away, like what happened to Ray’s tattoo, but the white on Fraser’s tattoo was still bright probably because he wore long sleeves even out of his uniform and kept it out of the sun.
Fraser look down at his ink. ‘Why thank you. I was working on a case with Ray Vecchio that involved a suspect with a tattoo on his neck and we went around to several tattoo parlors. In the last one a met a tattoo artist that while knowable about tattoos he was going to put an oak leaf on my tattoo.’
‘Oh yeah, that’s much better than my story,’ Ray said as he rolled up his sleeve to show Fraser his Champion ink. ‘Me and my cousin Duck got matching tatts while we were drunk.’
‘Oh, dear. Do you regret it?’
‘Nah. It reminds me of my dad because he used Champion spark plugs.’
‘Oh, that’s very heartwarming,’ Fraser said as he rubbed his ink.
‘Yeah. Yeah. Do you regret yours?’ Ray asked because Fraser didn’t seem like a tattoo kind of guy.
‘Not at all. I know it sounds ridiculous, but every time I see it I’m reminded of my love of Canada.
‘Cool,’ Ray said because while he had been drunk while getting it, he liked his tattoo too.
Years later, after they got married they got matching ‘Marriage is a partnership.’ tattoos.
