Tattoos - How Many is Too Many?

One is too many. When the meat and potatoes suck, you cover them with gravy to mask the bad flavor. Your body is already perfect the way God created it. No need to cover it up.
:noway:
It's not about covering up anything, it's wearable art.
Yeah I can understand that. And I certainly love artistic expression. But I just love the female body so much. It is just so perfect and beautiful. I just hate for it to be covered in any way.
That's cool. Can't hate on you for that. That's the way you prefer it. :flowerforyou:
Yeah I guess just see tats kinda like graffiti. Graffiti is definitely art, but you wouldn't spray paint it over the Mona Lisa. The female body is already such a magnificent work of art. Especially a delicious one like yours. ;-)0 -
If it looks like this, then one is too many.

I have visible tattoos on my neck and arms
and will probably get a couple more
I have friends who are completely covered including their face
obviously I could care less about how many tattoos someone has and neither should anyone else0 -
I love tattoos and piercings. I have a calf sleeve that has a very deep meaning to me.
I don't get tattoos for someone else to enjoy. It is for me!
As far as being unprofessional, I work in a corporate office which partners with one of the leading global retailers. I never take out my tongue ring and if I choose to wear a skirt to a business meeting, nothing has ever been said to me.
My ability to communicate and analyze data was what I was hired for. Glad my company isn't narrow-minded.0 -
If you're hot, you're hot. If you're a long haired, stinky person, you probably have tattoos.
long haired stinky people are the only type of people I like0 -

I have ten so far, getting a new one in a few months. I've become a virtual scrapbooker. I have the first balloon my daughter ever drew, I'm getting the first time she wrote "I love you Mommy" and her name. I have an inscription my Grandmother made in a book for my first birthday over my heart. Most are visible. I'm not in the business of caring what other people think of me or my choices. I can conceal a lot of them (like for a job interview) but thankfully the place I am at now, they don't care.
Eventually most CEO's and jobs will be have employees with them.
Til then, do what makes you happy and answer to no one

I have 2 tattoos myself, both are on the underside of my forearms and parallel in placement. I do plan on getting more in the future, I don't truly believe that you can have too many tattoos so long as each tattoo has a meaning to you and you don't regret getting it.0

i like tattoos i don't have any myself but i think when you start tattooing your face and head or genitalia thats going a bit far. i don't mind neck tattoos though. actually they are kinda hot.0

I kinda take Neal's view....

OK … if you’re a listener you know that I’m not fond of tattoos, piercings and body modifications. I really try to never miss a chance to make fun of people who have graffiti all over their bodies, humps and bumps where there shouldn’t be humps and bumps, and various types of hardware sticking out of orifices and through things. They call them tramp stamps for a reason.
Predictably, I get emails and messages asking me why I “hate” or why I’m “hating on” people with tats. The people who send these messages are beyond understanding. There is a difference between disgust, repulsion and hatred. If someone wants to ink their body from their toes to the top of their skull it is certainly their privilege to do so. I have NEVER challenged a person’s write to pierce or ink whatever they want to. The other side of the coin, though, is that they must then suffer the societal consequences of their strange obsession. One of those consequences is that they typically have a difficult time finding a job. Some of these people have very marketable job skills ideally suited for hiring them and them tucking them out of sight of fellow workers and especially customers. If you’re obsessed with tattoos and body modification perhaps you might want to consider this in your development of job skills. On the other hand, if you’re applying for a job where you will be in constant contact with your employer’s customers you’re simply going to have a hard time. That’s why I am far more likely to encounter someone covered in tattoos behind the counter at a convenience store than I am in a professional office somewhere.
Additionally --- if I was in the hiring business, and someone covered in tattoos applied for a job I am going to form a rebuttable presumption that this person lacks a certain degree of pride in themselves, a lack of pride that I will assume (again, subject to rebuttal) that this lack of pride will show up in their work ethic as well.
Clearly I’m on to something here. Just look at this website. It’s a Facebook page for something called change.org. The title is “Include Body Modification in Equal Opportunity Employment.” These fools are seeking 100,000 signatures from people who want the federal government to make it illegal to consider someone’s tattoos or other body modifications in a hiring decision. Take a look at the girl in the picture! Wouldn’t you just be oh-so-proud to have her greet customers or clients at your professional office?
Look, my friends. If you want hockey pucks in your ear lobes and tattoos up to your nostrils … go for it. But don’t ask someone else to consider your behavior as anything close to normal .. and don’t presume that you have the right to affect some business owners bottom line by forcing him to hire your absurd self to place before his clientele.
Oh … and I still haven’t figured out why fat women like cankle tats. And is there anything more amusing yet pathetic than a guy with a tramp stamp?0 -
I don't think any one person will feel the same way about this. You can't please everyone. Some people will say one is too many. I think that each person has to decide for themselves how many is enough because you don't have them to impress others, you have them because they are special to YOU.. It's very personal.0

I agree that the number is a personal choice. However, two pieces of advise my grandfather gave me that I still believe today (perhaps I am just gullible) - 1) be able to cover them for Church. 20 make sure they have personal meaning, not just some bikini girl you got at port.
Now my grandfather was in the Navy and times have changed, I have a M-Dot (Ironman Triathlon) tattoo that my son designed when he was age 9 for the first Ironman race I completed, the great seal of the U.S. from my military days, a band of glyphs below the seal (the seal is the pyramid on the back of the dollar bill), and a band of chain links from bike riding under the M-Dot for a total of four "pieces" or 13 individual tats on my shoulders. not a church goer, but can cover them just fine for court appearances or other regulatory business as an employee that represents one of my governors Agencies.0 -
Yeah, I see that. i can cover all mine if i wear a long sleeve shirt. I guess that was important to me, because I suppose there are times you need to be more conservative...but maybe some people don't. Whatever makes a person feel good and happy.0

I have only one with plans for more. My first was done when I was too young. My "first love" used a safety pin and ink from Hobby Lobby to create a pentacle with flames around it on my right shoulder. That was a huge mistake. Seven years later I covered it with a beautiful lily, for my daughter Lilly. Since I made that one into a piece for my child, I will of course get one more for each child I have in the future. My next immediate piece will be the Serenity prayer, done on my left side over my ribs. Can't wait! I also have planned a memorial piece for my grandfather. This means I should have four or five in the next couple of years, but all able to be covered. I don't think tattoos mean anything against someone as a person, but I don't expect future employers to agree with me. With that in mind, I would like my pieces to be more discreet. I'm not much of a fan of face tattoos, but everything else is game for me. I think that full body coverings are very sexy on both men and women, but a spattering of them everywhere is not. I know I will have a small amount of them but the plan is to make them well placed to flow together somehow. Tattoos are art, but art can be ugly... As long as it's a well done, well thought out piece, it should be nice. 0

For me it really depends on the person. I currently have 5 (and may possibly get a few more), and with the exception of the one on my wrist most people don't know I have them because they're easily hidden. I've seen men and women with full sleeves on both arms and chest/leg pieces and found it to be incredibly sexy and attractive, and I've also come across a person with only one or two and thought it was trashy. For me it depends on the person, and the tattoo (meaning/story behind it, design etc..).0

I have 2 that mean a lot to me. Both can be hidden when I want them to be, but I start missing the one on my foot in the winter.
Face, knuckle, neck, and boobs... I don't care for these.
I find tattoos intriging, and like to talk about them with their owners.0
