TATTOOS

'Tattoo' - Boris Vallejo


Someone once asked me why I have tattoos. This was my reply.


TATTOOS

Our tattoos are the stained-glass windows of our soul,
Which illuminate and animate our drab external shell
With the dreams, fantasies, and desires
Of our transient mortal existence
Within the mundane, earthbound realm of reality. 
 
 
 


UPDATE, 28 August 2026: Above is my poem 'Tattoos' in visual, animated form, its words variously presented and recited in three different video clips recently created especially for me by my good friend RebelBikerDude - thanks RBD! (Click here to visit RebelBikerDude's AI Biker Art Blog)
