Lil Man goes to school & of his friends are a little more popular than he was last week.
Puzzled Lil Man goes to his friend Knuckles (cause he's a knuckle-head) and askes what's going on. He is told that the new found popularity is rooted from a tattoo. Lil Man sees all the girls flocking to the kid, even Lil Man's now ex-girlfriend is on his jock.
Lil Man wants some of that. So one day Lil Man & Knuckles cut school & rides the city beyond where they have even ride before. The further they ride the more
they become. Shifty looking passengers board & depart until they get to their final destination. They step off and walk towards a shabby poorly lit tattoo business. They walk to the receptionist who looks like a mix of
&
who sends them to the tatoo artist. The joke here is that Lil Man makes the exact observation as they head to the back
Knuckles goes in first followed by Lil Man in the chair they see their Tatoo artist ready for them 'Which one of y'all is going first??!!
' he barks. Lil Man pushes Knuckles 'Aight playa, Imma go back up front and confrim what I'm getting. Knuckles is left about to shyt his pants
but sits in the chair. After a little bit he comes up with fresh ink on his arm. 'You only live once'
Lil Man is impressed that he went through with it. Now it's his turn. He goes to the back sits in the chair & faints
Half way through his tatoo of Praying Hands. When he wakes up he sees Daddy & Pops standing over him.
.
On the drive home Daddy is chewing out Knuckles,
you know good and well yo momma gone beat yo behind, boy I don't even know what lead you to going through with it. Pops is sitting there co-signing. After taking Knuckles home Lil Man knows he will never hear the end of it. The rest of the ride is silent.
When they get home Daddy is so mad he lets Pops take over. Pops is like
So u want to be tatted up like Fabo huh??? Well, ya daddy may not whoop ya but I sure am... *starts to take off his belt* Lil Man makes a dash for it & Pops pants fall to the floor.
I knew I shouldn't have put these big ass 2008 rap super star sized pants on this morning!!
By the time Pops gets himself adjusted Lil Man is gone into hiding. Momma finds him in Baby Girl's playhouse in the backyard. She explains to him that tattoos are a big decision that can't be removed. A reason one must be a certain age before getting them. Lil man explains that he understood and he wanted to get something meaningful since it was going to be there forever. After showing his half completed praying hands, Momma says she wish she could see the complete product.
Lil Man is like ' so you not mad??'
She tells him sternly 'Had you not fainted &Knuckles called yo daddy letting us know about everything & I weren't so tired right now I would be beating yo butt.Take yo half tattoo and get in the house and wish them dishes,sweep the floor, mop it, wax it, take out the trash... Just- just go do some chores Elliot...'
As Elliot finishes his chores he's seen heading to bed, Baby Girl pokes her head out like
'Nice tat. Is that that OkeyDokey hand sign??
The credits roll with Knuckels showing up at school barely able to sit down. And they show the kid who cause the whole thing.
What happened to your ink breh? Lil
Man asked.
It was a Henna, it wore off.
