My first tattoo

My first tattoo

I yearned for a tattoo

And in London I was at

I went to a tattoo parlor

in Ravenscourt Park

I picked out a design

And there I excitedly sat

I got it tattooed on my right shoulder

A Celtic crescent moon

It didn’t take very long to do

And I had it very soon

The buzzing sound of the tattoo gun

was hypnotizing

And There was a little bit of pain

To me it felt like getting gravel rash

But I sat and put up with it

For I knew that beauty I would gain

I admit I felt slightly hot

And a little sick

But to help with the discomfort

And to cool down

Off my shoes I did kick

I did enjoy the experience

Of getting my first tattoo

But I kept it quiet

And for a long time no one knew

Being Celtic is part of ancestry

For I have a Scottish part

I cherish my Celtic tattoo

And I hold it close to my heart
