Lightly-coloured tattoo beneath bottom of hip (4)
I believe the answer is:
pink
'lightly-coloured' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'tattoo beneath bottom of hip' is the wordplay.
'tattoo' becomes 'ink' (ink can informally mean a tattoo).
'beneath' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, some letters go below others).
'bottom of' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'hip' is 'p'.
'ink' after 'p' is 'PINK'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pink that I've seen before include "Salmon; plant; cut with zigzag edge" , "Comedy films involving a diamond, Inspector Clouseau and Peter Sellers" , "Cut wavy edge on, plant" , "one's found in bed" , "Colour; garden plant" .)
