Tattoo
A mark or a symbol put on a body
So many I see, small or big it may be
Some are permanent, maybe temporary
Each one is special or maybe the effect of stupidity
A work of art that causes pain
Some endure, some scream in agony
A process that takes a day or two
So just bear with it, you’ll make it through
A simple mechanism using needle and ink
Brace yourself, it will prick your skin many times over
But worry not my friend, you won't fall to a sleep-like death
Yes, I referenced Sleeping Beauty, get over it
A physical thing seen as a statement or from tradition
An insignia that brings endless satisfaction
Also a memoir of a fading memory
So remember to think before making a decision
