This is such a sad song, and I too interpreted the use of tattoo imagery to be a metaphor for her blues. It also shows that through her blues, she has a strength that stops her conforming like a tatoo, and how she doesn't become part of the scenery:
Everybody's saying that
Hell's the hippest way to go
Well, I don't think so, but I'll take a look around it, though
And the fact that she proclaims her love for Blue personalises it also, so her blues may be love-induced. Amazing song
