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!
