I laid in the chair
I knew what was coming
I anticipated
The pain
The hurt
The blood
I could see the tattooed man laying out his tools
He knew what was in store for me
He knew all about
The pain
The hurt
The blood
He tested his machine
He measured out the stains
Here it comes
The pain
The hurt
The blood
I heard that familiar buzz
That awful annoying buzz
I missed that familiar buzz
Reminds me of
The pain
The hurt
The blood
  Now the time has come
It’s all led up to this
It’s time to face
The pain
The hurt
The blood
2 hours went by
He never did stop
Every minute I felt
The pain
The hurt
The blood
Finally he was done
The job was finally done
I had dealt with
The pain
The hurt
The blood
I had survived another tattoo
I loved my new tattoo
And turns out I missed
All the pain
The hurt
The blood
