Can you explain the meaning of "inked up" in the last sentence? I figure out something related to tattos but it does not suit the context. (Novel: IQ, Author: John IDE)
Deronda was shopping around for somebody who could pay a few bills, and Isaiah would do just fine. Yeah, okay,
he did make her uneasy, he made everybody uneasy, checking you out like he knew you were fronting and wanting to know why. HeHe looked okay, not ugly, but you’d hardly notice him at a club or a party. Six feet tall, rail thin, no chain, no studs in his ears, a watch the color of an aluminum pan, and if he was inked up it was nowhere she could see.
