tattooed
A person who has tattoos all over their body is tattooed.
When we use the word "tattooed" in everyday conversation, it usually refers to someone's physical appearance. We might say, "I've always been fascinated by people with intricate tattoos - my friend is really tattooed!" or "She got her first tattoo last weekend, now she's a bit tattooed." The emphasis here is on the person's body art, and not necessarily about their personal characteristics or background. It's also worth noting that being "tattooed" can be both a noun (e.g., "she's really tattooed") and an adjective (e.g., "this tattoo artist is very skilled with intricate designs for people who want to get really tattooed").
