SKIN ART

Revived as a recent Renaissance of styling
embodying all Chinese /Japanese/anime coloring
Sailors used to have an anchor-or a mythical blonde
or the name of someone you once loved
Johnny Depp changed his tattoo from WINONA FOREVER
to WINO FOREVER!Laser removal now a growth industry
as the markings of drunken adolescence cede to corporate careers
Parlors persist in mushrooming gallery design rooms
Films are made,artists become rock stars
Every band has a visual emblem or name
to be inscribed on hidden parts of anatomies
What happens when you run out of skin?
Alter/add on/make more coloring/erase-like a canvas
Art is a temporary tattoo..
