Ink stained skin, a canvas of my past

Each mark a story, a memory that will last

A permanent reminder, etched upon me

Tattoos on my body, a visual diary

My first one was small, a symbol of youth

A butterfly on my ankle, a symbol of truth

But as I grew older, more tales to tell

My body a roadmap, of where I've been, where I dwell

A rose on my shoulder, for a love that has passed

A quote on my ribs, a motto that will last

A symbol of strength, on my back so bold

Each tattoo on my body, a story to be told

Some may say I'm reckless, for marking my skin

But each tattoo has meaning, a story within

They're not just decorations, or symbols of fashion

They're a part of me, a personal passion

A map of my journey, etched in ink

Each one a chapter, a page I won't shrink

From the pain that it brings, I embrace it all

For each tattoo tells a story, stands tall

So when you see the ink, on my body so bare

Remember it's not just art, it's a piece of me I share

A mosaic of memories, a symbol of my soul

Tattoos on my body, forever take hold.
