Work with a needle and do lacework as well (6)
I believe the answer is:
tattoo
'work with a needle' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'do lacework as well' is the wordplay.
'do lacework' becomes 'tat' (I've seen this in another clue).
'as well' becomes 'too' (both can mean 'also').
'tat'+'too'='TATTOO'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tattoo that I've seen before include "Military parade - anchor on the biceps?" , "Military display - needlework!" , "Skin design; mil. display" , "Skin decoration; drum signal" , "made by drumming" .)
