I waited and waited for many a year
Was never able to make a decision
My daughter, she pushed me and prodded me on
But I just didn’t have her clear vision
She said, Dad you turn 50, it’s reason for sure
Don’t you really think it’s now the time?
I’ll call them for you and make the appointment
Will you think of a real cool design?
I pondered the idea of something I’d like
Also, just where I’d like it to be
I gave my ideas to the artist I met
And asked him to design it for me
He asked for some time to get it all ready
Said the design was not one that he knew
But just one week later when I had returned
He had shown me this real wild tattoo
Outside of my bicep, my left arm displayed
Proved perfect for this piece of art
So, I took off my shirt and gave him my arm
As this man then proceeded to start
After 3 hours, such diligence deployed
My arm had birthed a new swagger
With my new black and white, a little blood red
Displayed was my heart stabbed with dagger

Very good poem! I enjoyed reading it. I hope you love your half century tattoo!!
Thank you, I fo. Can't believe almost 10 years ago
LOL I'm not a fan of tattoos but I may get one when I'm drink on my bottom. 😆 hey your tatoo artist is the hero here, the skill to paint anything onto skin is a telent. I've seen yours and it looks amazing. I'll be 50 in 12 months time so we will see never say never lol
I got another one for my 53rd and considering yet another when I turn 60 next April. Thank you!
Now that's what I call a tatoo! A true work of art, I'm sure it has great significance for you. I applaud your bravery, I was too squeamish even to get my ears pierced. Good write, and congrats on a 10 yrs going strong.
I really appreciate that. I got an additional on my 53rd, a large Celtic cross and may even get another for my 60th next April. Thank you
