Too & Toos Tatoos

La Lupita's song 'Too & Toos Tatoos' is a vibrant celebration of individuality and self-expression through body art. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person adorned with various tattoos, from snakes and skulls to flowers and dragons. These tattoos are not just mere decorations; they are symbols of the person's unique identity and life experiences. The song highlights how these tattoos can evoke different reactions from people, from doctors and accountants who are startled by them to the narrator who is deeply fascinated and enamored by them.

The chorus, 'Too & toos tatoos,' is a playful repetition that emphasizes the omnipresence and significance of these tattoos in the person's life. The lyrics also delve into the intimate connection between the narrator and the tattooed individual, suggesting that the tattoos are a medium through which they connect on a deeper level. The line 'Te los beso sin parar, Siento que tus venas van a estallar' (I kiss them without stopping, I feel like your veins are going to burst) conveys a sense of passion and intensity in their relationship.

Moreover, the song touches on societal perceptions and judgments. The tattooed person is described as someone who defies conventional roles, such as being a secretary, and instead embraces a more unconventional and artistic lifestyle. The lyrics 'No serás muy educada, Pero estás bien ilustrada' (You may not be very educated, but you are well illustrated) playfully contrast traditional education with the rich stories and meanings embedded in the tattoos. This juxtaposition underscores the theme of finding beauty and value in non-traditional forms of expression.

'Los enseñas en la alberca, Si mi madre no está cerca' (You show them at the pool, if my mother is not around) and 'Te los tapas ciertos días, Pa' que no los vean tus tías' (You cover them up some days, so your aunts don't see them) highlight the tension between personal freedom and societal expectations. The song ultimately celebrates the tattooed person's boldness and the narrator's admiration for their unapologetic self-expression, making 'Too & Toos Tatoos' a tribute to the art of living authentically.
