It is an idiomatic expression for very attracted to/very used to/unable to stop thinking about.

To have a splinter or a tattoo under one's skin is to have it indelibly lodged with you.

In addition, to get under one's skin is to irritate one:

My boss really gets under my skin-- he's always looking over my shoulder.
