"VIRGIN SKIN"
Impatiently sit
and think the worst,
your blood begins to flow,
Wondered what the pain was like,
A break in silence, time to go...
The one behind the metallic point,
The desire inbedded in,
A swoo of colors all laid out,
Buzzing starts , ink begins...
The first prick is like a shock,
a feeling you cant believe,
you tell yourself only one,
Yeah right !! Probably sleeved..
Thresholds of pain are high and low,
Depending who you are,
Outlines done , Shading starts,
looking great so far...
Shadings fine , outline hurt,
Colors left to do,
Done the red , purple , black,
One more left is blue...
Finished up , times gone by,
you pause to stop and think,
A virgin you were an hour ago,
Not now your finally inked...
You leave the shop, thinking back,
The remark you made before,
Said you would only get just one,
But already picked out more.....
