tats
Casual body ink
Tats is informal for tattoos: She's got some impressive tats on her arms.
The singular tat works the same way: a tat of a rose on her shoulder.
The word is casual and common, carrying none of the edge that tattoo once had when body ink was associated mainly with sailors and prisoners.
