Bones
jagged,
scabbed up skin;
But oh that fire;
Diamond in the rough;
Faded tattoos 
bloody smile 
simply 
shine.

Katie's laugh is really funny.
I bet she makes lots of money.
Her tattoos are unique.
Her clothes are chic.
And her disposition is sunny.

my fantasies within reach

Women all know he's rinky-dink
As his antidote
He’ll rescind girl’s vote
But undressed now Peter does shrink

We never knew what was coming
Or whether it would come at all
She had a sensualness and sexiness that tattoos could not camouflage

he wore pink shorts too tight for his butt,
big tattoos on his legs,
bracelets on his arms,
he smelled of alcohol and cursed a lot.

Premium Member normally but not this time

this time the tattooing looks like henna, delicate and pretty
I have no critiques, am rather in awe this time actually

Premium Member Adversity

Your story is not just your tattoos or the scars on your skin your story is from deep in your heart made from battles fought within. Kale Brereton Jan 13/19

Premium Member ten speed grannies

they fly through the streets
on ten speed bikes
wearing tight speedos
delighting their men
showing off tattoos and *****
three well-known grannies
who have taught the town to play
age

I Hate Tattoos On Breasts

I hate when women have tattoos drawn on their breasts.
Why do women do that to their chests?
I've always seen breasts as works of art.
When women have tattoos drawn on them, it breaks my heart.

Rebirth

I realize now that the body you live in
is no longer the body I know
The scars and tattoos I once traced in my sleep
marred by age and time
A house with an attic
holding secrets I'll never know

Marked

I am marked with life's vicious scars
A blanket drawn tightly over my arms
These tattoos will never disappear
The hatred I've been drawing for a year
Open your eyes and you'll see
I'm as broken as I can be.

Ink Therapy

He said he likes my tattoos.
I said "Yes but darling can you kiss all my scars?"
The tattoos are beautiful but self-inflicted.
What about the wounds I never asked for?
Tiny imperfections, 
pinpricked from years of abuse.

Sacred Scarred Goddess

Wrapped in scars like punishment tattoos
each glance a challenge or a warning
Time stopped in slightest wrinkle
and other faucets caught in simple moment
but eyes
that told the story
and cautioned
pick a side
no falter
decide

Premium Member The Tattoo

 The tattoo

She was covered with ugly stretch marks,
So, could not bare her skin at fun parks,
A tattooist, she’d thought,
Could make her look quite hot ,
The tattoos couldn’t hide her stretch marks!

Light Is Well Night Is Hell

Tattoos 
Dropping screws
All is well it seems 
At night she screams
At night he leaves 
In the morning light she sees
In the morning light life is well 
But she fears the night for it is hell 
But he holds her tight and treats her well

Premium Member The Tattoos on His Arms

     a young boy approached me
        asked me for a dollar
     Where are your parents
        I almost hollered

      he pointed to the tattoos
        on his arms
      one of ‘mom,’ the other of ‘dad’
       “There they are,” he said

Premium Member Hedrick will Dazzle Your Eyes Out

Em had said, “Hedrick is so gorgeous now, he will dazzle your eyes out”.
We met him at a posh restaurant; both his arms were covered with tattoos. He would have looked tough if I had not known him as a baby.
floral arrangement behind him softened him up too.

Premium Member History of Tattoos

Mummy from 3000 BC
Had a tattoo on its knee
Mustache ink above his lip
Mummy from Chilie, ink did drip

In the fifties tattoos became extinct
But today’s teenagers beg for their ink
Cultural identity now often seen
Spiritual beliefs on a tat, blue green.

Tattoos By: Tom Wright 4/15/2019 Now, not possessing tattoos, I really don’t know, Will the eagle that is art someday resemble a crow? Body art is fine, and many wear it and brag, Until age begins causing their canvas to sag Caw, caw, caw

Premium Member The tattoos all over the body of that young lady

The tattoos all over the body of that young lady ~
what will they look like when she's seventy or eighty?
I'm afraid the ass of that sweet young lass
smelling flowers above her reclining lover in the grass
will slowly start squatting down on his bearded face, alas.
