Inked is a 26 page erotic short story. It's pretty much a couple of scenes between a woman who gets a tattoo and the tattoo artist that gives it to her.
It's not a bad idea or necessarily a bad story, the characters are reasonable - if a little flat, but one expects that of titillation reads - but the execution was what killed it for me. There was some very basic writing things wrong with this, things like a lot of adverbs and adjectives that did nothing for the story. Also, there was a lot of repetition of the same words, a poor grasp on moving past the most basic sexual references and a lot of the content was cliche and has been done to death in the erotic industry.
I wouldn't bother with this one if you can't look past the above mentioned flaws, if you're keen for a super quick read that's reasonable (but does include anal on the first 'date'), give this a try.
