(Qov to Lieven, 10/08/2017):  For tattoo, I got some new stuff from Maltz:  {tutlh} "have a tattoo, be tattooed" (so {tutlhmoH" is to tattoo).  The noun tattoo is {DIr tutlh}.  If you have one pattern/design on your arm, say, that's an example of a {DIr tutlh}.  If you have lots of independent patterns/designs, interwoven or separated, the whole lot of them taken together is/are {DIr tutlh}. 

SEE:
tutlh  		be official (v, slang) [qep'a' 2018]

DIr tutlh  	tattoo (n)
tutlhmoH  	tattoo [someone/something] (v) 

SEE ALSO:
ghItlh 		incise, mark (v)
pe’ 		cut (v)
DIr		skin, hide (n)
Degh 		emblem, symbol, mark (n)
rItlh 		pigment, dye, ink (n)
