Daddy's skin covered with pig and head of tiger — tattoos, say? (4,3)

'tattoos say?' is the definition.
(I know that tattooing is a type of body art)

'daddy's skin covered with pig and head of tiger' is the wordplay.
'skin' means to remove the middle letters (only the skin or outside of the word is used).
'covered with' indicates putting letters inside.
'pig' becomes 'boar' (male pig).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'head of' suggests taking the first letters.
'daddy' with its middle taken out is 'dy'.
The initial letter of 'tiger' is 't'.
'dy' inserted inside 'boar' is 'bodyar'.
'bodyar'+'t'='BODY ART'
