The Tattoo

Covering her entire back

The intent artist is putting

The finishing touch to his masterpiece

Never had tattoo been so revealingly beautiful.

The girl had been thinking and designing

Her tattoo for the best part of ten years.

It had taken him a full week to catch her intention

And another to train his wrist to the perfect movement.

Now is the time to prove his mettle.

And the girl had fever breaking after the first three hours,

And they have to do it in one sitting,

No other option, nothing else matters.

It is obviously painful. And the level of detail is boring into her skin.

In about an hour, this girl will have,

Etched onto her back, into her soul,

The greatest overcast one ever saw,

Down to the smallest, darkest billow.
