Tattoos is the third
studio album by American recording artist
Jason Derulo. The album was released on September 20, 2013 through
Beluga Heights Records and
Atlantic Records and its affiliated
record labels. Incorporating a base core of
R&B,
pop music and
electronic dance music, Derulo wanted the album to be "totally different" from his previous albums and show the growth in his writing and his overall performance saying "there are so many twists and turns on the album... It's important when someone thinks they've figured you out to flip them". A deluxe edition of the album featuring 3 bonus tracks, was released simultaneously alongside the eleven-track standard edition, which will only be made available in some
European and
Oceania countries.
