What does TATTOO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A permanent design made on the skin by pricking it and inserting ink or pigment, or a military drum and bugle display performed at night.
Tattoo covers two quite different things that share only the name. In body art, a tattoo is an inked design placed under the skin with needles, ranging from a small symbol to a full sleeve. In a military sense, a tattoo is a signal, originally a drumbeat, calling soldiers back to camp for the night, and it later grew into a formal outdoor performance of marching bands and drill, such as the well-known Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Context almost always makes clear which meaning is meant.
How TATTOO is used
Common in everyday speech for body art; the military sense survives mainly in set phrases like military tattoo.
