Tatoo You! (TATOO(タトゥー) YOU(ユー)！, Tatū Yū!) is the Stand of the Eleven Men, featured in Steel Ball Run. This Stand appears as a mark on the back of each of the Eleven Men, and allows them to merge each others' bodies.

Appearance

Tatoo You! is composed of black graphics resembling tribal tattoos spanning the backs and the back of the arms of each of the Eleven Men; with a small mask of light color on the back of their heads, including a small face with closed eyes and a neutral expression.

Its appearance may come from a tattoo that Hirohiko Araki once saw somewhere.[1] He also suggests that the individual eleven Stands are labelled Tattoo 1 (タトゥー1(ワン), Tatū Wan), Tattoo 2 (タトゥー2(ツー), Tatū Tsu), and so on.[1]

Tatoo You! allows the Eleven Men to phase into each other by using the tattoos on their backs as portals, then reappearing through the tattoos at will.[3] The men can exist in the same spot all at once, appearing as if they are merged together.[4]

It allows the men to hide inside each other in order to avoid attacks. Even if a member of the group dies with companions inside, those inside the tattoos are unharmed and can move the bodies to position themselves to attack.[4]
