Tattoo The skin on my body a canvas An artform with needles and ink It was my choice and my decision I don't care what others think The images express who I am It represents moments in my life A koi, a dragon, a geisha The names of my children and my wife It's an ongoing project So many hours on the artist's chair Yes of course it did hurt And no I don't mind if people stare Beauty is in the eye of the beholder And beauty is what I see If you don't like it keep it to yourself I didn't do it for you, I did it for me
