He sits down in his tattoo artist chair
She walks in
She says" I want to get a tattoo of this gothic fairy"
He takes the drawing
He asks " Where would you like this?"
She says "I want it on my right shoulder"
She sits down on the bench
He goes to trace the tattoo
She waits impatiently
He transfers the tattoo to her skin
She held her breath
He started the lining
She sighed
He continued to tattoo her
She started to feel like she had a drug running through her veins
He asked her " Do you want it colored or black and white?"
She said "Shade it please"
He did as she asked and he taped her up
She paid and she left
When she got home she grabbed a butcher knife
She went upstairs to her sister's room
Her sister wakes up
She says "Amy what are you going to do with that knife?"
Amy says " I'm going to gut something"
Emily asks "What are you going to gut?"
Amy said " You"
Amy then grabs Emily
She takes her to the basement
She stabs Emily
Emily screams
Amy slits Emily's throat
She continues to gut her sister
She plays in her blood
She then goes to her parents room
She lifts the ax over her head
She decapitates their heads
She then goes outside and places their heads on a spike
She goes to her brother's room
With her dagger in hand
She walks up to the bed
Chris wakes up
He asks " Amy what in the hell are you doing in here?"
She grabbed him and before he could scream
She slit his wrists and his throat
She goes to the roof
Stands there for awhile
Tears streaming down her face
She jumps off of the roof
The coroner said "That's a nice tattoo that she had"
The C.S.I lead said "Its a shame that no one will ever see it"
"This massacre was bloody"
"The writing on the wall said this" said the coroner
Fuck you all
I hate this world
I'm the one that did it
You'll never find me
I'm skin deep
Running through your veins
"What am i?" you ask
I'm your tainted soul
I'm a souless body
I'm poisoned ink

i think that the last stanza was truly amazing. if the whole poem was like that.. then just wow. i do like what you had to say but the way in which you said it could be tweeked. it's a very interesting write.
by the way you seem to be a pretty chill person. it's kind of a shame you couldn't take two seconds to comment on my featured poem- even though i had teh decency to read and comment on yours. yeah. -
hmm, ok. I guess I just don't get it.

That was morbidly dark and very Lizzie Borden! Great writing too!
