"Black Tattoo" was the opening single from Alibis & Other Lies, the fifth album by Australian rock band Grinspoon, and it came out in 2007 on Grudge, the local imprint of Universal Records. It's alternative metal with a hook and a sneer, and it went straight into the ARIA Singles Chart at No. 45.

The video turns the band on itself, and it's a hoot: the members get dragged across a prairie behind a car, and the one at the wheel is one of their own. After it, the next single in line was "What You Got".
