Black Ink Crew



In the depths of the city,
Where the lights never sleep,
Lies a crew of artists,
Their talent runs deep.
With their tools in hand,
They bring life to the page,
With every stroke and line,
Their creativity knows no age.
They call themselves the Black Ink Crew,
A squad of ink masters,
Their skills are unmatched,
Their art, a true disaster.
But not in a bad way,
For their designs are sublime,
They bring the streets to life,
With every drop of black dye.
Their canvas, the skin,
Of those brave enough to bear,
Their bold and intricate designs,
That leave onlookers in awe and stare.
From portraits to symbols,
Their hands work like magic,
Each piece one of a kind,
Their passion, truly fantastic.
Each member brings their own style,
To the Black Ink Crew,
From realistic to abstract,
Their diversity, nothing new.
They push the boundaries,
And defy all the norms,
Their art, a rebellion,
Against society's norms.
With their needles and ink,
They create a masterpiece,
Their work tells a story,
Of love, pain, and peace.
Their clients come in,
With stories to tell,
And the Black Ink Crew,
Makes their stories excel.
Under the dim lights,
In their studio of art,
They work through the night,
Each piece, a work of heart.
With every buzz of the needle,
And every drop of ink,
They bring their visions to life,
Their creations, never shrink.
They are more than just artists,
They are a family,
Bound by their love for their craft,
And their passion, so free.
They share a bond,
Stronger than blood,
And with each other's support,
They rise above.
The streets know their name,
And their fame continues to grow,
For the Black Ink Crew,
Is not just a show.
They are the pioneers,
Of a new art form,
Their impact on the world,
Will never be gone.
So if you find yourself,
In the city one night,
And the streets seem to come alive,
Under the moon's bright light.
Look for the Black Ink Crew,
And their studio door,
For their art will leave you,
Wanting for more.
They will ink your skin,
With their creativity,
And leave a mark,
That'll tell your story.
For the Black Ink Crew,
Is not just a crew of artists,
They are the storytellers,
Of the streets and its hardships.
