Author Note
I'm not sure where this idea came from, probably from my other McDanno story where Danny was thinking about tattoos. Personally I love them and I like the thought of Danny having them and the others not knowing about them because they are hidden away from view, I like people having sides to them that others don't see.
I'm feeling depressed at the moment hence why I wrote this to try and cheer myself up. I think it will be three chapters long so it will probably be end up being more like six chapters lol.
Hopefully you'll enjoy it!
Overall summary
It was just a simple tattoo and yet Steve couldn't think of anything else. He was pretty sure Danny had got it just to mess with him so he was going to make sure that he messed with him back. Two could play that game after all.

Prologue
Just get it done already
"I don't get what the big fuss is Dan, if you want to get it done then just get it done, you've been going on and on about this for the past two years so just grown a pair and do it. To be frank with you the whole will you, won't you is getting a bit tedious"
Danny Williams rolled his eyes, twisting his head on the back of the sofa to look at his younger sister Becca. He had come home to New Jersey for a week just needing to experience the cold again, to remind himself that there were other seasons out there that weren't just made up of sunshine and warmth. It had been snowing when he had arrived and his heart had soared at the familiar sight, one day he would need to bring his partner Steve McGarrett with him when he came back just so he could see what December was really meant to be like.
"I know, I know Becca" He said waving a hand at her before he lifted his beer bottle and took a swig of it, relishing the peace. His parents were off at a Christmas concert of some kind. They had offered to stay and keep him company but Danny had waved them off. He loved them, he really did but three days straight of their company, being taken around shopping with them as well as countless dinners with his siblings had taken his toll leaving him with a desire to be alone for a few hours. He had happily helped them out of the door, telling them to have fun before he had gone back into the living room and collapsed on the sofa, turning on the TV and finding an ice hockey game.
He had been fifteen minutes into watching it when the living room door had opened and Becca had walked in, wrapped up warmly and holding the welcome sight of a twelve pack of beer in her arms. She had dumped them on the coffee table, thrown off her coat and settled down next to him, her dark eyes fixed on the screen.
Danny liked all his siblings but if he had a favourite it was probably Rebecca, they were the closest in age of each other with only two and a bit years between them and they just got along even though they looked different from each other, Becca having inherited the dark hair and eyes of their Dad while Danny had their mother's blond hair and blue eyes.
"If you know then why don't you do it?" She asked "I'm a tattoo artist Dan, I would do it for you for free if you just said the word" She stated, crossing her arms over her chest as she met his gaze with a challenging look.
"It would need to be designed and-"
"And nothing" Becca interrupted with a roll of her eyes. "Did you not hear me when I said that you had been going on and on about this for two years? Dan I've already designed the tattoo for you and for the record I'd like to say that I've outdone myself with it" She said proudly. Danny raised an eyebrow at her.
"What have you done?" He asked curiously. Becca shifted on the sofa so she was facing him, long legs curled up beneath her.
"A Tribal Dragon" She told him, brown eyes glinting excitedly at him "Turn round"
Danny stared at her for a moment before he rolled his eyes and turned on the sofa so his back was facing her.
"Now what?" He asked, smiling when she lightly hit his shoulder with her hand.
"Hush up and I'll tell you" She told him before she began speaking, her voice warm with barely suppressed enthusiasm. "It's going to be a large one, bigger than your other one, probably about this wide" She said thoughtfully places one hand on either of his shoulder blades "So it would go across the whole expanse of your upper back" She remarked, running her hand across it to show him what she meant. "I don't think it should be in bright colours so I made it black and red like your other one. Figured you might as well keep the same theme going. The dragon is going to be in a tribal design, so the vertical length of it will come just below your shoulder blade. I've designed it so that it can't be seen unless you strip down and go topless. If you've got a t-shirt on or a shirt then the material will hide it from view, obviously if you're wearing white though and you get it wet then its possible it will be seen but that would be a risk you would have to take" She told him, "You can turn back now" She remarked, smacking his shoulder lightly.
Danny moved on the sofa looking at her, thoughts whirling through his hair as he weighed the pros and cons of it. Steve had plenty of tattoos which were regularly on show and no one had said anything to him about them. If Danny's was kept hidden from view then he didn't see what the problem was. He trusted his sisters designing skills since she had been the one who designed the other one for him.
"How long would it take?" He asked, breaking the silence which had descended between them.
"You mean could I get it done before you went to Hawaii?" She asked him, glancing towards him. He nodded. "You're going back in six days right?" She asked.
"That's right" He answered.
"Well in that case the answer is yeah, I could get it done in time, you might have to come back in a month's time for a weekend for me to do any touch ups but as long as you don't mind that then we would be good to go."
Danny looked at his sister before he smiled.
"I think you should book me in" He told her watching as a large grin came to his face.
"I've been waiting two years for you to say that" She answered, holding out her beer bottle towards him, he grinned clinking his against it before he turned back to the game, only half watching it as he imagined what the teams reaction would be to it. They hadn't discovered his other one yet but that one in fairness was easier to hide but this one would be impossible to hide especially when they went to the beach on a rare team day out.
He grinned, picturing their faces.
They'd soon find out that there was another side to Danny Williams that they had no idea even existed and it was something he was looking forward to seeing.
He shared another grin with his sister before his gaze went back to the TV, this time focusing.
This was going to be good.
