Tattoo Versus Fine Art

Tattoos, the rage, are not a fine art, 
Not meant to hang on a gallery wall,
Black and white traditional, to sharp tribal plans, 
Not huge, just simple and small,

You see, in galleries of oils and acrylic artists, 
Paints are intricate, and tell a whole tale,
And these painted pieces are often worth heaps, 
Often they’re there for a sale,

But tattoos have a meaning that belongs to that person, 
Something no one else knows,
And often the person won’t share this perception, 
Hiding it under their clothes,

Because tattoos are for personal announcements, 
A permanent parade of their soul,
Not for sale to the public, like a fine art collection, 
Tattoos help the person feel whole.
