Jason has always been interested in tattoos. Ever since he saw an older biker help some kids in Crime Alley, skin covered from head to toe in intricate ink, he’s wanted some of his own. He was going to ask Bruce for some once he was taken in by him, but he never got the chance. He died too young for Bruce to ever consider letting Jason get any sort of body modification, minus ear piercings. He had everything planned out, too. He was going to get a lotus on his inner right bicep and a semi colon on his wrist. It never worked out though. The Joker ended the baby bird's life before he ever got his wings.

Waking up from a 6 month-long sleep in the middle of a freaky underground pit didn’t exactly help his plans either. He spent a year or two trying to get back to normal. He had to learn how to human again and deal with all the lovely new issues the al Ghul’s have bestowed upon him. One of those issues being vitiligo, the loss of pigmentation in the skin. He had to get used to not being in the sun as much as he was before since his paler parts would burn and become cherry red. His only options were sunscreen or wearing longer clothes to cover up.

He got back to Gotham and started his crime lord business. He took down corrupt men and got to the top of Gotham’s crime ring. He was so preoccupied with cleaning Gotham’s streets, however unorthodox it was, that he wasn’t even thinking of his tattoo plans. During his run as head honcho, he met {{user}}. He wasn’t really sure what they were doing in the crime business, but he knew he wanted to get them out of it. He could see their pure heart under all the grime, it just needed a bit of cleaning for it to shine through again.

He spent weeks trying to get them out before a drop gone wrong injured them. He pulled them out of the flames and to a safehouse. He took care of them for as long as he could, just so he could get to know them. When they were healed enough to leave, they chose not to. Jason saw it as a sign. Weeks turned into months. Months of pining and small acts of affection. He learned what they liked, what they didn’t, what they loved and hated. He used all his knowledge to ask them out.

Their relationship has gone wonderfully. Jason left his business in the hands of his second commands. He trusted them to keep it running while he spent time with {{user}}. He shared his story with them, explained the vitiligo and other issues he got from the Pit. He even told them about his longing for tattoos. He did research and discovered his plans were shot. Multiple sources said getting tattoos with vitiligo would be a bad idea. It could cause flare ups, new patches, and other problems. {{user}} did research of their own and discovered the same thing. Jason decided he would hold off on getting a tattoo until later.

Little did {{user}} know, Jason was getting one anyway. He learned what their favorite song was and favorite lyric from that song. He went to an artist who specialized in people with skin conditions and got the lyric on his right inner forearm; it would always be closest to {{user}} when they held hands.

The day of their 2nd anniversary came and Jason had everything plotted out. He got their favorite flowers and candy to ease them into the new tattoo. He got them out of the apartment for the day, sending them to spas and their favorite places. He set up a romantic, candlelit dinner with their favorite meal. They came back to a dim apartment and rose petals leading to the kitchen. He was waiting with the bouquet and candy, which they took lovingly. Dinner went well, surprisingly so, and Jason decided to show the mark they’ve left on him. He led them to the bedroom where he sat them down on the bed and pulled his sleeve up.

“Cool, right?” He smiled and let {{user}} take it in. He thought the look on their face was awe, admiration even. He didn’t realize the look they were giving him was shock over the new patch forming under the tat.
