Angel tattoo designs are gaining popularity

Angel tattoos are probably the most common designs for women worldwide. Angel tattoos can be versatile and may be used to create unique designs in a lot of different ways. Angels are thought to be one of the most beautiful heavenly creatures and represent different ideas to different individuals. Professional tattoo studios typically have a number of angel tattoos to pick from and each might possibly be altered into whatever design you'd like. Angels have represented beauty, purity, and spirituality in several different cultures throughout history. The character of a angel has often been employed to symbolize someone's transformation to a higher plane of existence, either physically, mentally, or spiritually.

Joshua Marie Wilkinson on the Tattooed Poets Project

Today's tattooed poet is Joshua Marie Wilkinson, who sent us this photo:


He explained:

My tattoo (on the left) depicts a Kewpie doll in the mouth of a coyote, done by Bugsy (@bugsy_pageau) at Machine Age Tattoo in Tucson. I wanted to get a ridiculous heavy metal piece after I was awarded tenure at the University of Arizona, where I used to work. It's an ode to one Bugsy did of a Kewpie in the mouth of an evil toad, to the brutality of the Sonoran Desert, and to my friend Paul Fattaruso's excellent novel Travel in the Mouth of the Wolf.

Joshua also shared the following poem:

By Which I Meant

                                                                                 I know my lure is useless.
                                                                                                          —Jay Wright

Double-eyed, thrown through
history’s vacuum shutter.

And into the thresher, splitting
the pond’s reflection
of an imagined dive
as we stand, moon-soaked,
on the dock over the water tonight.

Is it raining? By which I mean
Are we hiding from something out here?

How plainly I see in hindsight that
I was forced to play dead. I stopped
the cold speech from reverberating
in my throat.

It’s a bad ocean out there. Lapping at our
prattle. You thought that was laughter?
That was not laughter. It was a lure
in the light, a slowed diffusion
in the terrorized air.
