I was sweating blood like you wouldn't believe,
Doubt body art will come with me when I leave,
Tattooed and filled with faith but yes, do grieve,
Many pieces on my arm but finally a full sleeve.

Hell yes! Congrats, My full sleeve was completed by 2022ish I believe! It's an accomplishment, I know. By the time we leave...we won't want to take them with us anyway! LOL! In the meantime, let's rock them out! LOL! 🤘😎🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Nice! Sounds good, that is a fair point yes.
An old practice, that of body art that comes and goes out of fashion. Tatoos, piercings stretched necks, lips and ears with plugs and rings jewels and things. painted nails, makeup and scarification. A good write
Indeedly so, comes and goes, thank you.
You are most welcome
Ooh! I never started! Felt woozy when they showed me the tattoo room. That'll teach me to be too curious. lol. Only full sleeve I got is from long-sleeved shirts. heehee.
Did you not want E.T.? lol.
Dunno if he has any tattoos. lol. I got a dust sleeve for a book - is that the same as a tattoo sleeve? lol.
Hahaha nice!
A very relatable write. I wrote one about ink that sounds similar in some ways. Congratulations on your full sleave and on penning this poem.

Thanks very much!
omg - congrats - i for one am too squeamish , though my daughter has butterflies behind her back, and one more on her hands...
Oh that's ok, aha. Nice, it is addictive.
i agree - it is - some sportsmen and prominent personalities here are fully covered as far as the eye can see...lol
Very clever write. I know how expensive a full sleeve can be and i guess some of it painful. Lol
Indeed, I got it done over years (:
