about

Fast paced music with lyrics that get under your skin in just the right ways! The hook and first verse were written while listening to MPR at work thinking about a tattoo experience I had. On MPR they were speaking about how many calorie you burn while you sit and work. Once I heard the music I fit what I had written to the music and added a bridge and second verse.

In all Tattoos Ink is as much about getting/having tattoos as it is about going through a large change in life and slowly realizing you will never be the same again, like skin right before the tattoo gun goes bang.

lyrics

(bridge)
ooh i know i know it not goin
back
ooh i know i know it aint goin
back
ooh i know i know it aint goin
back
ooh i know i know it not goin
back
ooh i know i know it aint goin
back
ooh i know i know it aint goin
back

and it'll never be the same again
question
whatchya gettin for ya tattoo

(hook)
sittin in a chair
burnin calories
burnin memories
you can feel the heat
skin is like a sickness
touch my disease
travel my lines
tattoos ink

if you push me
we can go deep
too late to pull back
once we off the brink
skin is like a miracle
cuts us and we bleed
cuts us and we heal
tattoos ink

(v.1)
burnin calories like runnin from the cops
thought we was sly like we was a fox
caught red handed so we a red foxx
but it aint funny if they getcha in a box
memories are funny how they juggle witchya mind
yeah we chuckle now wasnt funny at the time
we can laugh it off tattoos never lie
fingertips trace the tattoos line for line

(hook)

(v.2)
i aint lyin i'll be fine
finer than a thread or a line
cross me and see what time
it is cross ya heart and swear you right
i know you cross ya fingers when you lie
you lie like a dog k9
and yeah you got that bite
but i still got my initials in ya bark
so we can call it tie

(bridge)

(hook)

and it'll never be the same again
question
whatcha gettin for ya tattoo
