She wears on her sleeve what she could think in her head,
It's a statement but perhaps only to herself,
She'll be wanting it off in 50 years, considering in 20, still thinking it looks cool in 10,
Skin sheds and rebuilds but needles made their mark,
Old granny with tattoo; rebel without a cause.

Thanks, yeah my poems have been getting increasingly smaller of late, not sure if it's a good thing or not. I find tattoo's probably one of the worst mistakes you could make, you might always like it and that's fine, but it's perminence means you have to have it your whole life. I always think of being in a care home with one, just puts you off.
