it seems art eloped with science
in a powerful alliance
for a futuristic genre has been shaped
.
for the tattoos, once so quiet
will now gallivant and riot
for the whims of vibrant colours has escaped
.
they are creatures, animated
and your skin grows so elated
as you start to sense the rhythm of their dance
.
all the hula girls will giggle
as their hips begin to wiggle
and your battleship sails off to sunny france
.
that red heart inscribed to mother
will pulsate just like the other
that is buried in the cavern of your chest
.
from the top down to the bottom
and those places you ain't got 'em ?
you will start to feel the urge to fill the rest
.
it's so grand to grace your body
with an image rich and gaudy
when the pattern comes to life before your eyes
.
your tattoos will be eternal
spinning tales as if a journal
yes, a canvas filled with forms of every size

I love the rhythm and the rhyme.  I found this a really fun read with a more serious point as well.
