That place in my heart
where I should want a tattoo —
that place where my tattoo desire
is supposed to brood —
it’s a dead place.
No. Worse.
I don’t even have that place.
What is wrong with me?

A tatoo? *In* your heart?
That would be HARD CORE. -
cec, you must find your egyptian soul.
tattoos have been found on Egyptian and Nubian mummies dating from about 2000 BC. They are referred to in ancient writings relating to, among others, the Thracians, Greeks, Gauls, ancient Germans and ancient Britons; Romans used tattoos to mark criminals and slaves.
or, maybe your heart is crying out, i’m no criminal or slave?
“We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe; the record may seem superficial, but it is indelible. You cannot educate a man wholly out of superstitious fears which were implanted in his imagination, no matter how utterly his reason may reject them.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
