Indian Ink Under the Skin.

Eyes widening on her fashion tattoo
Fine black lines freshly pierce you
Faded blue scrolls on a sailor's arm
Thick black Celtic lumbar tattoo
Egyptian hieroglyphic symbols taboo
Tiny fine line rainbow and blue.
 
Mischievous eyes hinting a secret spot
High fashion models strut for the shot!
The tiniest tattoo there is so discreet..
Teeny rose tattoo inside there is so sweet.
The needle sews in another fine stitch
Forever under the skin their name on you.

Little designer angel and heart tattoo
Back of the neck, inside the ankle
Armband,lower back, tummy,inside of lip
Skull,have we missed anywhere yet?
Tribal markings to denote you belong
"They're beauty adornments"so goes the song.
