I have never heard of a tattoo being called "getting inked". But then, I live in Missouri. I enjoyed this lighthearted poem. I made laugh to think of walking into a tattoo parlor and then right back out again! Great, cheerful write, Sue. Excellent, as usual. Blessings to you, Linda

Glad you didn't, this is a fun piece. The art work is really interesting. I never understood why people wanted to use their bodies as billboards.

Tramp stamp- I love it, Sue. I have always wanted to get a tatoo of a ladybug on my butt. Have never had the courage to do it, but would love to and see the reactions one day in the nursing home. LOL this was a well written and fun poem. Joyce

LOL!! In the nursing home! HA! They'd say, "Yep, she must've been pretty cool in her day"! Thanks for your review! Sue

I go out to Vegas every July to spend a week with my sister, and we have talked about me doing this for years as my nephew knows a reliable tatooer. Might just have to do it this summer. Will let you know. Joyce

Hi, Sue
I dunno what a 'tat' is, but can I have free membership, and perhaps audition you first in person? LOL

'Why not--they're hot
The goods? I got...
Who cares about my age.' - BRILLIANT!! as are all the other matcing sections of internal rhyme and alliteration.
Oh, dammit, I just read on and you chickened out. Sob!
Funny and clever. Great write. Love, Ray xx

Yes you DO know what a 'tat' is!! It's a tatoo, you clown!! I lied in the poem. That's me wearing the tramp stamp! LMAO!!! Sue

reply by Domino on 01-Apr-2009

I honestly never heard a tatoo called a 'tat'. Over here we use 'tat' as slang for rubbish. Mind you, I think most tatoos on women as looking rubbish. ;-) Unless delicately placed (wink). Those ones above their bums ('buts') I find really tarty. There ya go - more tatood friends on here lost! LMAO. If you've got any, Sue, I'll make an exception. ;-) xx

reply by the author on 01-Apr-2009

Not a drop of ink on me, Ray. And that's the way it'll stay!!...unless I change my mind! LMAO!!!

reply by Domino on 01-Apr-2009

And if you 'change your mind'
I hope to never find
A 'tat' upon your butt
If ever have the luck
To check out sexy Sue
As I quite fancy you.

Only joking, just for fun, as i don't wanna make my universal fan club jealous.
Sh*t, how do I get outa this?
Oh, I don't care, as I'm making myself laugh! ;-) xx

You are in so much trouble now! HA!! Your rhyme sounds like a rapper! LOL

LOL! I had my daughter read this and she said 'Mom, that's you!" I have wiffle waffled for years and have promised her to get one with her when she graduates this year. Thanks so much for this fun read.

I'm not a prude. But, the only piercings I've ever had in my life were one in each year. Just didn't want holes everywhere. But, one day, while my daughter and I were in Paris, I said, "Let's go get our belly buttons pierced!" HA! We did it. I wear a little round one that looks like a small earring hoop. I'd feel naked without it. But a tat on my ass? I don't think I could do it! But, never say never. HA! Thanks much for your great review. Sue :-))

Cute and funny! Nice flow and rhythm in this one. I loved the lines:

The goods? I got...
Who cares about my age.

Backed out--had doubt
Walked in, walked out

Nice message too. Go out and do what YOU want to do (within reason, of course), don't let your age or other people influence your decisions . Really enjoyed it. Nice work!

Okay....you just put me over the edge. Because of you, I'm going to go out and get a wild tramp stamp! HA!!! Thanks so much for your review. Glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for highlighting the lines you liked. Sue :-))

reply by Psychonaut X on 01-Apr-2009

Go for it! But then...wouldn't I be influencing your decision? ; )

Great rhyming here. It kind of bounced down the page. I have heard these called Whale tails and now tramp stamp. Glad you didn't do it. At 80 yrs. old it will be in a different place all together!

It use to be a tattoo was for life. Now, they can remove it. Very well written with a good rhyming scheme, imagery and descriptive sceme.
