Tatted describes someone who has tattoos, typically many or prominent ones.
The word comes from tattoo and functions as an informal adjective: He showed up tatted from neck to knuckles.
Being tatted up or tatted out suggests extensive coverage.
Tatted also has an older, unrelated meaning in needlework: lace made by tatting, a technique of knotting thread into decorative patterns.
