Psychic Tattoo

Chapter 4 The Red Lotus Yaksha
Ten thousand yuan! If I successfully closed this deal, my mother could have one more chance to be saved. But what could I do, since she didn’t believe in Yin and Yang Tattoos?

I didn’t feel so good after I was rejected by Mimi, and closed my shop around four or five. When I arrived home, I just lay on the bed, pulled the quilt over my head and fell asleep.

It was eleven or twelve in the evening when I was woken up by the telephone ring, I got the phone and found it was from Mimi. I hastened to press the answer key, and heard that she was willing to pay ten thousand for the Yin and Yang Tattoo on the condition that it would work.

It was just like “ After endless mountains and rivers that leave doubt as to whether there is a path out”, I quickly got up after hearing that Mimi was willing to get that Yin and Yang Tattoo, hopped on my electric bike and went to my shop.

When I arrived there, I asked Mimi what changed her mind. I just thought she wanted to give it up.

Mimi was still puzzled and said frankly: “ My brother, let me tell you the truth. I asked Mr. Zhang about this when I got back, and he told me that he had also heard about the Yin and Yang Tattoo, but it seemed there was no one could do it, so I just thought you…might…not be able to.

“ It is ok. To be honest, I don’t often do Yin and Yang Tattoos. I’m not so skillful right now, and I need to pick it up.” Then I asked: “ Why did you come to me again if you thought I couldn’t do it?”

“ My brother, I was forced to do so.” Mimi said she received a guest in the evening, and they slept together, but she had that dream again.

When she woke up, she always felt that there was one eye staring at her.

At first, she thought it was something like an illusion, but it really pissed her off when she had this feeling for several minutes, and then she put on her clothes and went out.

When she went out, the feeling of being stared at just completely disappeared. She dared not come back home and just wanted to call me to help her with this issue via that Yin and Yang Tattoo.

“ Brother, just give me that Yin and Yang Tattoo you mentioned. I will surely pay you the money when it really takes effect.”

“ OK, you just come to my shop, let’s have a good talk.” I opened the shop gate and turned on the light.

I told her: “ If you wanted to get that Yin and Yang Tattoo, you need to use the pattern of ‘ghost repression image’, and there are mainly three types of these patterns, the first is Arhat, the second is Bodhisattva and the third is Yaksha.”

“ Any differences?”

“ Absolutely, Arhat appears to be masculine and cannot be used for women, and you need to be extremely lucky to get the image of Bodhisattva as a tattoo, or else, you will be in trouble. You don’t seem to be a person with particularly good luck, so these two patterns don’t fit you. I will choose Yaksha for you.” I just told to Mimi.

But it was a little hard for me to tell her that it was not because of good luck that she could not have the tattoo of the image of Bodhisattva. Actually, she would be luckier if she had this image; It was a kind of tattoo which had a hundred merits and not a single demerit.

However, Bodhisattva emphasized cleanliness of spirit, and those who had this tattoo should often be upright in their behavior.

Mimi was a prostitute, and she was a wicked person according to Buddhism, or a lustful lascivious woman, and this kind of person should not have the pattern of Bodhisattva, and Bodhisattva would blame the person who drew that tattoo since she would think they had defiled her.

Mimi asked if the Yaksha pattern would be ugly. Would it be nice?

The women always focused on the face score.

I said that nobody would see the tattoo. Since yaksha meant evil, we needed the “embrace” method.

There were five methods to place a tattoo. They were to lift, to drop, to carry, to wind and to embrace.

To lift was to draw the pattern on the shoulder, it was usually the dragon over the shoulder.

To drop was to draw the pattern on the neck, for example, they were Chinese characters, etc.

To carry was to draw the pattern on the four limbs, such as the dragon around the elbow, and the wrist Buddhist ring, etc.

To embrace was a little nasty. With this method, you needed to draw the pattern on the “heart root”.

So what was the heart root? It was one inch above the nipple, and three inches below it.

Or right on the upper breast.

So why would she care, since the tattoo was there?

“ How can’t it be found? Well, where is it?” Mimi asked me.

I pointed at her breast: just here.

“ Oh, my god, I need to pay more attention to its beauty; this will impact my business if it is so ugly.” Mimi was frightened and shocked.

I patted my head, why didn’t I think about that? What was her job? She was just a prostitute, just imagine the situation when her guest would get scared when she took off her clothes once she had the tattoo on her chest?

I scratched my head, saying that this pattern could be a little artistic, and there was one kind of red lotus yaksha, which was very beautiful and it was a bright and brave woman.

Mimi didn’t believe so.

I recalled and thought about the red lotus Yaksha of the Yin and Yang Tattoo, took the pen and very quickly outlined a general appearance, then after painting with some made up details, I gave it to Mimi: take a look first.
