HIS NAME ON HER
He traced its outline
With fingertips fine,
Saying, “I love you”
As he kissed the tattoo,
Something she’d just got
Put on that choice spot.
Devotional mark
Tempting him to lark,
His name on her skin
Drew him deep within.

The inspiration was Tommielynn's picture showing her beloved grandma's tattooed name on her arm, about which she made a recent poem. I applied the thinking to a partner's name. (Though I understand trouble they may cause if it doesn't work out....!)

Interesting piece about a fairly recent cultural phenomenon. Let's see it stand the test of time, but then that's why they makes lasers and flesh colored ink too I guess, cheers Sol!

Nice poem mate but seems to have opened a discussion on tattoos rather than poetry.
Well poetry is supposed to contoversial no?
Personally I agree with Magdelena on this one. Strider points out the temporary nature of relationships that are "forever."
Some of my army buddies had their serial number and blood group tattooed in their armpits now have to explain everytime someone sees them. Oh well! :-)
