Wobbly tum bared to reveal tattoo (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drumbeat

'tattoo' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'wobbly tum bared' is the wordplay.
'wobbly' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'tum'+'bared'='tumbared'
'tumbared' is an anagram of 'DRUMBEAT'.

'to reveal' is the link.

(Other definitions for drumbeat that I've seen before include "That'll get you dancing!" , "Rataplan" , "Sound of common percussion instrument" , "rhythmic sound!" , "Thumping" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
