Stuck on You: Song Lyrics as Tats

 Now, of course this isn't a celebrity gossip blog, but I was interested to hear that Lindsay Lohan got a tattoo of a Billy Joel song lyric. The lyric reads: “Clear as a crystal sharp as a knife / I feel like I’m in the prime of my life.” Now I've never heard this song, but the lyric is interesting. Primarily the "prime of my life" phrase. Isn't that a short period of time? Why would someone get this as a permanent marking? Well, I don't know because I don't have any tattoos.
 But song lyrics are poetic, they are memorable. Whatever reason there are some song lyrics I think are pretty awesome but as tattoos, well let's explore that.


"Promiscuous", Nelly Furtado
Lyric: "I'm out of this world come with me to my planet."


This could work, if you're from Mars. It would probably be a good conversation starter, but really. This would be fun for a time, but forever, I'm not so sure.


"Express Yourself," Madonna
Lyric: "Don't go for second best, baby. Put your love to the test."


This is one of my all-time favorite Madonna songs, so I'm partial. I think if you like to empower yourself or have an activist viewpoint, this would be awesome. But just to say this to yourself is awesome enough.


"What Goes Around...Comes Around," Justin Timberlake
Lyric: "What goes around, comes around, goes around comes back around."


Again, I'm seriously partial but this is for anyone who believes in karma, dharma, and maybe even some Greg! I think if you like to remember consequence and action, as well as mom's advice, this is for you.


"In My Life", The Beatles
Lyric: "In my life, I've loved them all"


This song is so beautiful and who doesn't love the Beatles? But above all, it reminds us of love and memories. This is great for the sentimental and those with philosophical musings about pop songs. I guess I should count myself in that club.
