her back hath its new ink,
though seldom ever seen.
she had months to ponder and think
and to come up with the green.
she wrapped herself in her cloak
with her customdesign in hand
and ventured to the parlor of smoke,
looking for the inking man.
yes! she had conquered this year-
when her heart was crushed,
as God held her & her wombfruit near
while numerous cries were hushed.
oh, time beats and the wind blows.
this girl doth not moan nor wail.
she patiently waits once more for love to show.
'tis apparent, she is as tough as nails.

Great design and sentiments.
You should be proud of what you have achieved this last twelve months.
Happy New Year.

It's beautiful and tough at the same time. I love it!
Wow!! What a talent. Love the poem and the ink.
Good golly! Did it hurt?
Jack and I were watching the Amazing Race a few weeks ago and they had to get a tatoo. I asked him if he would have done it and he said "NO"!
You've got cohones my friend lol.
I'm with Ginni Dee - where is that? Looks to me to be just above what we lovingly refer to around here as the Great Divide. :)
Hats off to you, girl - I'll have to go back and read about your year, as I'm new here. But, I have a sneaking suspicion that you and I have much in common.
I am 52 and have been desiring a tattoo and motorcycle??!!

Lovely Tatoo! Bravo it's unique.

Sorry we didn't make it down tonight - J went to Alex's and I went to the movies and another buddy's house. Hope y'all had fun!
Dawn, you are amazing! Your poem is so wonderful, and your design for the tatoo is simply inspired. So glad your "inking man" is talented enough to make your designs a reality.
