Tattoo Pain
I've been in pain before
But this time I chose in advance
To get a tattoo you see
I wanted to take a chance
It turned out beautiful
I am thinking of my next one
But the pain I felt during the process
Is something I can't wait to have done...again
So I sat there breathing in and out
Again and again the needle hit the bone
My head thrown back so he could reach
I was in the zone
And he wiped, and he swiped
Oh he wiped me clean
Each swipe, he did wipe
Removing extra ink from my skin
And the needle like Morse code
It kept taking me back
It punctured and ruptured
My collarbone now black
And in the end I was relieved
And in the end I was upset
That the high I had during the time
Left nothing, no regret
I have only so much canvas
I can't wait to go back in
I want that feeling of pain that I had
All over my skin
