Sensitive part is ticklish, somewhat (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artistic

'sensitive' is the definition.

'part is ticklish somewhat' is the wordplay.
'somewhat' indicates a hidden word.
'ARTISTIC' is hidden in the letters of 'part is ticklish'.

(Other definitions for artistic that I've seen before include "Having creative gifts" , "I stir cat (anag.)" , "Having a creative imagination" , "Fine-looking" , "crafty!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
