Tats (up)

INKS

What artists use to permanently mark skin in bold designs?

"Tats" is slang for tattoos, which are made with ink. The word "up" hints at moving the last letter of "tats" to the front—taking the "s" and placing it at the start gives "s" + "tat," but a smoother rearrangement turns "tats" into "inks" (since ink is what tattoos use). It’s a playful twist on both the word and the idea of lifting or "upping" letters.
