Tattoo
Ava Max Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The kind of lover that stays on your mind
See me wherever you go, yeah
You want forever after just tonight
You'll never leave it alone, yeah

A permanent mark that won't fade away
Boy, you can't erase me
I'm like a tattoo that's over your heart
'Cause once I put this love on you it never comes off
I'm like a tattoo that's under your skin
So write my name in cursive 'cause you'll never forget
Ooh na-na, ooh na-na, ooh na-na (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ooh na-na, ooh na-na, ooh na-na (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

You want my kisses, to start at your neck
Cover your body all, over
Can't keep it hidden, I'm stuck in your head
But that don't mean that I'm yours, yeah

A permanent mark that won't fade away
Boy, you can't erase me

I'm like a tattoo (tattoo) that's over your heart (your heart)
'Cause once I put this love on you it never comes off
I'm like a tattoo (tattoo) that's under your skin (under your skin)
So write my name in cursive 'cause you'll never forget (never forget)
Ooh na-na, ooh na-na, ooh na-na (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ooh na-na, ooh na-na, ooh na-na (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Baby you'll never forget, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ooh na-na, ooh na-na, ooh na-na (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ooh na-na, ooh na-na, ooh na-na (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Real love, you're gettin' your first one, and you like it
It's gonna hurt but you can't run, so don't fight it
Real love, you're gettin' your first one, and you like it
And you like it, oh

I'm like a tattoo that's over your heart
'Cause once I put this love on you it never comes off
I'm like a tattoo that's under your skin (oh baby)
So write my name in cursive 'cause you'll never forget
Ooh na-na, ooh na-na, ooh na-na (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Ooh na-na, ooh na-na, ooh na-na (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ava Max's song "Tattoo" describe a romantic relationship that leaves a lasting impression on the singer's partner. The singer is compared to a tattoo that is permanent and cannot be erased. They are describing their role in their partner's life as something that will always be present, just like a tattoo. The singer revels in the fact that their partner will never forget them because they are "under their skin" and "over their heart."


The lyrics suggest that the singer's partner is deeply infatuated with them and wants to be with them forever. However, the singer is hesitant to fully commit and reminds the partner that they do not belong to them. This dynamic is captured as the tension between being a permanent fixture in someone's life and the freedom of being able to leave whenever one wants. The lyrics suggest that love can be all-consuming, but it can also be fleeting and transitory.


Overall, the lyrics convey the idea that love has the power to mark a person for life, just like a tattoo. The singer's message is that their love may be difficult to escape and will never completely fade away.

Ava Max deserves to be as famous as Ariana Grande! This Queen is just so talented! Ava doesn’t deserve the hate! 😭💗

@micearenice8963

I think she will be. I think she is a bit like Lady Gaga and that uniqueness will propel her forward.

@birdlover1633

Your right

@manuelwinkler7493

who tf hates her?

@neelamsingh1600

Yes it's true!

@mutuku5952

Yeah, she should be famous. Her music is good but it needs upgrade until she produces super hit songs.
I love her. Her team needs to work harder.
