"Tattoo" is a song by Swedish singer Loreen, released as a single on 25 February 2023, through Universal.[1] After winning Melodifestivalen 2023, it represented Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, winning the competition with 583 points, making Loreen the first female artist to win the contest twice (and second overall, after Johnny Logan), after previously doing so with "Euphoria" in 2012.[2]

"Tattoo" debuted at number one on the Swedish singles chart. Following its Eurovision win, it reached number one in nine other countries: Austria, Belgium, Greece, Iceland, Israel, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.[3] It additionally reached the top ten in 17 other countries including Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom, later becoming the first Eurovision entry in over 27 years to spend two weeks inside the top five of the UK Singles Chart.[4]

"Tattoo" garnered 4,275,290 streams on Spotify the day after the Eurovision final and thus broke the record for the most streams ever achieved in a single day by a Eurovision song. The number of plays also set another record for Loreen: the highest number of streams ever achieved in a single day by a Swedish female artist.[5]

In 2023, Brazilian singers Manu Bahtidão and Simone Mendes recorded a Portuguese version of the song, "Daqui Pra Sempre".[6]
