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
