world for centuries. It has been used as a symbol of identity and self-expression. Many of these cultures have used tattoos to identify different tribes or military branches, along with family heirlooms or simply because they appreciate the art of ink.

Indian Ink By P.D Poetry is a type of thing you read that sparked a feeling or makes you think about what you just read. For me it was “Indian Ink” by P.D. Indian Ink makes me feel that no matter what you need to just keep going and push through the pain of bad histories or suffering. Indian Ink is by P.D and the point of view is by an Indian. The time is in Autumn and the location is near mountains. The literary devices are hyperboles. “They collect tears from the memories of the past”…

This trio like Murder Ink was very fascinating to me. How they all came together and how they worked on #realityhigh. This was the culmination of our #reality trilogy. Fernando’s story was one that I was fascinated with the most. For him to not to initially be interested in film, go from pitching an idea to his boss and becoming extremely successful is the story you on hear in movies.

Author V. Vale once said, “A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye. As a tattoo is grounded on living skin, so its essence emotes a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition” (Vale 55). From this, it is evident how intimate tattooing is. A life-long commitment to a piece of artwork that one will carry on one’s skin wherever they go requires careful consideration. Tattooing itself has been practiced for centuries all over the world, with the first known…
