Tattoo

From way back in time

A time more civilized

Nations decorate the skin

To express what's within

As a part of their culture

Like wisdom in a book

It wasn't just a fashion

It was art made with passion

Today still people say

Tattoos are for scum

But why be so affraid?

For so much beauty made

My skin is my canvas

My body, here it is

It's an open field for joy

See this needle, it's my toy

It's my body, it's my life, it's my own choice

Tattoos as expression, it's just a different voice

It's my body, it's my life, it's part of me

Tattoos as expression, which means I'm free

The ink which makes a tattoo

Doesn't infect common sense

It's a dignified creation

Why call that mutilation?

My skin is just a cover

The real me, it's inside

So if you wanna judge me

Look beyond and you'll see

It's my body, it's my life, it's my own choice

Tattoos as expression, it's just a different voice

It's my body, it's my life, it's part of me

Tattoos as expression, which means I'm free

From way back in time, till the day of today

Decoration of skin, the voice from within

It's my body, it's my life, it's my own choice

Tattoos as expression, it's just a different voice

It's my body, it's my life, it's part of me

Tattoos as expression, which means I'm free

I am free!
