An Ode to Tattoos

I love my . A beautiful art hard fought for and won. In a world that is cheap, a tattoo is less easy. I feel something, and not only from what I can see. My is painful. Intrusive. Permanent. I am forever wed to it and to those parts of myself.

As I age, so they will age—with splendour or revulsion, not unlike myself. And when I am dead, rotting in the ground, my art will vanish with me.
