  Nice! Can you explain how to parse the clue for TATOO? That's the only one I can't work out

    Sure! It's a double definition. Tattoos are works of art which is the first def. The second is that tattoo can mean a drum pattern.

    I didn't realize at the time it was an alternate spelling. It offered it as a suggestion and, failing comparison, I didn't notice
