The Tattooer opus 624

8 August 2025 0100 Hours Art, Aging, Medical
Might you comprehend the life of a tattooer?
Well, heesh must be, obviously, an artist,
With an ever steady hand and a flawless eye.
As the needle passes over the flesh,
There are few chances to correct any flaw.
But, beyond the challenges of art,
A tattooer must always bend over hiser work.
The strain of such continual posture,
Slowly challenges proper posture
Along with the strain on the back.
Beware and take heed tattooers,
And know that the cryptic challenge
Is waiting to diminish your productivity.
