Scarred For Life

The needle hums silenced only by the whispers of pain it chews upon my naked skin and it's there, my flesh will never be the same another story told in a picture, begins to unfold thought of by my imagination drawn by another, so my story can be told Sadly, in the minds of others, judgement comes swift for those who are inked the narrow-minded refuse to see it as art rather something unclean that should remain hidden in the dark Finally finished, I stare at my creation that's perfectly drawn and shaded that I can't help but wonder what will be next on my flesh

Interesting take on tattooing Kurt. I don't have any myself, but as Sharon mentioned below. They can be works of art >> James

Interesting thoughts that you have penned in this one.Not sure exactly what you're talking about..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my poem "Gushing Destruction"..John the writer of Revelations was from a different day and age seeing into the future by revelation of God and he had no way of knowing exactly what he was seeing since he had not seen things like cars, trucks, army equipment, A-bombs, H-bombs,etc..So it is possible that some of the things that we are experiencing is that.SK

Great poem, and some tattoos are most definitely art. Never plucked up the courage to get one myself though. Enjoyed the read ~ Sharon :)
