Well, maybe not obviously, but it is.

Tattoos in general are horrible. The very idea of them and what they represent. You may not agree, but that's how I see it.

I'm not a tattoo guy myself (I don't have any now and will never get one), but I wouldn't call them "horrible". Fine with me if there are others who dig them.

I'm afraid of tattoos, so ANOTHER tattoo would be terrifying! Reading that chapter in Wayside school about the potato tattoo on (I believe) Todd's ankle was like Stephen King material. I'm also afraid of glitter... I run very far from glitter! This might be his scariest song unless it's about "Tattoo" from Fantasy Island or perhaps "Tattoo" from Ninja Turtles (The big sumo guy from the special I saw as a kid with that mole and Ground Chuck in it...) Maybe it's about the fact that Jordin Sparks had two videos to her song... ... no... it's probably about Tattoos. Scary stuff! Waaaaaaaahhh!

Since I'm speculating that this is a parody of "Nothin' On You" I'm thinking that the rap part might actually go:

"N-N-N-Not another Tattoo... Not another Tattoo."

That helps the flow a lot.

That makes the flow worse.

All this guessing at how a song will fit is funny to me and perhaps to others who write song parodies because we can find clever ways to work lyrics into the rhythm of a song. For example: Take the "Theme from Friends (I'll Be There For You)":
I choose you, Pikachu
I'll be there for you...

Another Tattoo could be a "Hey Soul Sister" parody for all we know.

Another Tattoo...
Hey Soul Sister

While the original song may extend a word by holding "heeeey", you can fit two or three syllables into it comfortably. It might be awkward to conceptualize, but hearing it performed might make sense.

So based on that logic my new guess for "Another Tattoo" is "Tricky" by Run DMC. There we go!

My money's either on Jordin Sparks or maybe it's an original. This is so confusing (just like Kurt Cobain's lyrics!)
