He started to draw
At a young age
Pretty pictures
Filled each page
A vase with flowers
A scenic place
And skillfully
He’d draw your face
In college classes
He would enroll
A famous painter
That was his goal
Not enough money
Could he earn
A different skill
He had to learn
A new technique
A canvass of skin
A tattoo artist
To his chagrin
On arms and legs
Fingers and toes
On men and women
Tattoos are exposed
Tattoo artists
Amazing to me
They need to draw
So accurately
A tattoo artist
In this day and age
It’s not hard to earn
A living wage
