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!
