Tatting is the act of reproducing/mirroring and capturing on video, Tattoo's famous line from the opening credits of the 1977+ ABC television show Fantasy Island, where Tattoo boldly announces atop of a bell tower, "De dlane, De plane!". In order for a tatting to be correct, "De Plane" must be said twice and the Tatter must be pointing skyward.

There are two forms of Tatting that are reserved for advanced tatters only:

1) If you are actually pointing to a real plane

2) If a bell sound is captured immediately prior to the tatting.
I just posted the best tatting to my Facepage. I was Tatting on a Gay Pride Parade float AND there was a 727 in the sky. I rock!

You: Yeah, I know. He's the fucking Sheriff of Twattingham
(v) The style was originally practiced by young funk dancers and is derived from the positions people were drawn in the days of the Ancient Egyptians. It is these positions seen in these portraits that have been adopted by dancers today. So when you "tut" you change the angles of your arms according to the beat. Those who are more experienced pop when changing from angle to angle thus refining the style. Tutting is still a greatly respected move and King Tut aka Mark Benson is widely acclaimed for pioneering the style.
