Girl with the skull tattoo by eagle eye cherry, Subtle hustle by clutch. I particularly like the clutch song because of the refrain “i got your number, i steal your thunder. i got your mother’s maiden name tattooed on my arm.” Good luck!

“I’m not the prisoner of my skin
It’s flexible and paper thin
I’m breaking out to let you in
Where I get pierced with a little pin
Little pricks I could hardly feel — tiny little needles made of steel
I make a statement, hear my cry — something I’ll have past the day that I die
I was inspired by the illustrated man — I got my first butterfly on my can
I’m running out of room I can’t find a place — I’ll have to put the Last Supper on my face
Tattoo, tattoo me now tattoo ow
I can’t be buried in a Jewish cemetery — unless before I die I become very hairy
I can’t get a job that means anything — But I can always get a nipple ring
A pattern of scars filled with ink — like vacation postcards don’t you think?
Running from my ankle all the way to my breast — is a map of my vacation in the wild wild west
Tattoo, tattoo me now tattoo ow
My body is a canvas — a picture I control
A gallery of images — I worship every hole
The back’s an empty album — begging for some art
Dragons, lizards, ancient gods — only question — where to start

“I got you under my skin a long time ago:
Just a little tattoo to let the world know
That there’d never be no one for me but you.
But you turned out to be a bad heartache,
And I found someone to take your place.
Now, what am I gonna do with your tattoo?”

Most likely the first and oldest tattoo song was by Groucho Marx…”Lydia, The Tattooed Lady”. I’m in the process of combining that song with my tattoo poem…”Tattoo Toodle-oo”.
I have been searching for a song about getting a tattoo. Part of the lyrics are: “When the needle pierces my skin…” If you know it, let me know.
Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet mentions his new tattoo “it’s a real beuty, a Mexican cutie, how I got it I havn’t a clue”
