Why this must be read: Because everyone who saw the movie wondered where the boys got their tats. This story gives us one plausible explanation that rings true in a sad and bittersweet way.

Pre-film, this gives us a glimpse into men who are set to become more than the sum of themselves.

Author's Summary: Of tattoos and partings.

It's the last stop they make before they leave the country, and they can't even say which of them first turns in the right direction, the other follows almost on the same thought. It's coming on twilight and the shop's properly closed, but Siobhan's their cousin, and the last work she did on them was afterhours. She'll do this now, as a way to say farewell.

Siobhan's flat's above the shop, so she sees them coming and goes down to meet them. She opens the door as Connor's about to raise his fist and pound on it. He grins and cuffs Murph instead, who thumps him in turn. It turns into a scuffle and they enter her shop brawling.
