Body Art means everything, that's why I  have it.
Me dunking was my first tatto, I lost count of the others I have now.
I actually hated tattoos, I told myself i would never get like this .
But once I got one I was addicted.
My mom cried when she saw her face on my chest, it was the best reaction i got from someone.
It's been painful but not an issue.
Birth and death dates on my wrist.
In the process I thought of what to get next. 
I get to the tattoo parlor, I know what Im going to get
"Through The Fire"
I've been through hell.
For me it's a life style!

I chose this article from nytimes because I am very interested in tattoos and I think are good to have because they bring back memories and symbolizes something you believe in. My poem is telling how tattoos are important to J.R Smith and how its been painful getting them but his tattos mean something. The point my poem makes is to do anything you want to even if it's painful along the way. Creating a found poem was very interesting and easy because in the article I found very powerful words in this article and that made it easy to put together a powerful poem.
