A friend of mine needed skin to practice on for her internship at a tattoo shop in the city, she did an amazing job. This was her 6th tattoo and it is incredibly detailed and clean. I could not be happier. Quote is from The Lord of the Rings written by JRR Tolkien. Done at Doc Yager Tattoo Co by Colleen Kaster in Rochester, ny.
Masquerade
Shed your face
Put it on another way
No one minds
You’ll be fine
Lying’s stylish these days
Though after time most people see
They understand that, possibly
The masks they wear
Were always there
Just now they let their demons free
It’s seems to me in every town
The wanderlust comes raining down
I feel the urge to leave again
Road as paper, feet my pen,
Until I find a place at last
When the wander storms once more
When to a rock I may hold fast
Held by walls and roof and floor
But the wander never leaves
Forever anyway,
It pushes men into the streets
And there they ever stay
All the lovely deadly things
I put inside my only mind
Only make me less inclined
To find what I am meant to find
A summer fad or phase or fling
A wad of gum or piece of string
I lack what I was meant to bring
Is this all I am?
Is this what I’ve become?
a lovely deadly broken thing
No kingdom but is called a king
His crown contained in everything
And on his back he feels the sting
Of memory and bickering
