Both the suddenness and the topic of his question had Jo nearly choking on her beer. It wasn't that she had an issue with discussing it (it was quite the opposite, in fact) but she hadn't expected such a discussion whilst in her home country. The proper sort would be scandalized by such an idea, after all. Hell, even Earth or Mars might've been taken aback by such a question.
"Oh, no. It's quite alright. I don't mind." She laughed once setting her cup down. The opportunity for her to get a tattoo had risen a handful of times, but each time Jo shied away from the pain. Thankfully, the villagers hadn't forced the issue on her, though Jo sometimes believed they frowned upon her for not partaking. "No, I don't...not yet anyway. I uhm...I get a bit queasy when it comes to pain." Jo silently wished they were in the seedy pub of the ABC so that the blush on her cheeks would be less visible.
She took another drink of her beer before quirking her eyebrow at him and asking, "do you have tattoos?"
