that tattoo was a riot numbers inscribed in its midst spoke of decay of a bygone era GRACEFUL WAS NO LONGER IN FASHION bygone era gave way to a decayed one numbers danced with glee rioting in that tattoo art
I have to admit I'm not at all sure what the numbers refer to. When I think of tattooed numbers, the image of Nazi concentration camps comes to mind, but I don't believe that's what you were talking about...
Great write. It makes me think possibly the tattoo has the year stamped in there somewhere, someone's memento of whatever bygone era you speak of. Very descriptive, yet leaves much to the imagination.
This makes the little shark on my arm so lame :-)
ReplyDeleteNicely done.
I hope those numbers weren't six six six!

ReplyDeleteCleverly done! Whatever one's opinion of tattoos, there's no doubt we've lost a lot of the grace of prior eras.
