Ink Disease: Ode to the Tattoo

Come on baby bleed for me

Show me where you want to be

Dot my skin repeatedly

Make me ache and make me scream



Feel that needle in and out

Feel the pain and see my pout

Worry not, I won’t shout

I know exactly what I’m about



Come on baby make me roar

Feel the need inside me soar

You saw me coming through that door

I had an ache for your chosen chore



Come on baby make me burn

I feel the blood inside me churn

The rivers of blood are no concern

Soon enough I’ll see and learn



There’s a design for me to own

Painted on my body’s bone

I’ve torn to flesh and all is shown

How much the ache inside me has grown



I’ve felt the pain all over me

Soon you’ll know, soon you’ll see

That for a one time, sizeable fee

You too will knowing the ache and disease
