Pageant (6)
I believe the answer is:
tattoo
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">pageant</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I have seen 'Military pageant' mean 'tattoo' so perhaps 'pageant' could also mean 'tattoo')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for tattoo that I've seen before include "image on one's skin" , "Indelible impression" , "piercing?" , "one has to beat" , "Needlework! - performed by soldiers!" .)
