INKED IN BLOOD
self-expression of art
tattoos come in many forms
adorning one’s body
old tribal rituals
images of dragons and snakes
just to name a few
they were inked in blood
reminders of someone’s pride
somebody begs to differ
shadows of the past
keep hovering in the present
haunting him in dreams
names of dead targets
clearly etched on his skin
reminders of evil deeds

So true, tribal tattoos tell a lot of stories: of struggles, joys and pains - a celebration of life!
Thanks for the read Grace.

Not all tattoos are bad yet some are for evil purposes, my tribal markings are not bad, I carry my own for religious reasons and I am very proud of the heritage that birth them.
