Tattoo

Needle rakes through skin; in its wake – pain, blood and joy: an image preserved.

You ably describe the process of tattooing, together with the pros and cons that come with it, John. I have nothing against small arty, meaningful tattoos, but excess can turn beauty into an ugly sight! Regards // paul

Great description! If it wasn't for needles and pain I would get a tattoo too. ;)

Thanks for the positive comment... if it wasn't for the needles, the pain, the chance of infection and the permanency, I'd get one too!!
