Ink

 
A dream etched in skin
A nightmare drawn out with nowhere to…hide
A picture
A verse
Any representation of the self no matter how simple, eclectic or diverse
The ink gives you a sense of individuality and pride

It’s the long-term commitment to self-expression
The enthusiasm that will try the test the rest of time
It’s the desire to standout from everyone else
Even when many are the same
     The visual illustration of the mind

How do we decide?
What makes us unique?
What does a tattoo say about you?
How do we show the universe we are well versed in our own ken
How do we perceive ourselves
In comparison to how others see us
Maybe the ink gives you time to think and meditate to find your Zen
