    I have three. I enjoy body art and I don't care how many a person has as long as it's not sexist or racist.

    i love tattoos and with being an artist myself i was really picky about who did mine on me .. i'd say its too many when you have every inch of your body covered possible or your scalp and face. the odd little one on the face or head is fine though.

    im not a fan of pain.. so yes just the one tattoo that i get more added too over time , i had originaly gone for a full peice of 2 large roses and 4 small rose buds with a ribbon with wedding rings on and our wedding date representing my love for and from my family and to cover a large scar on my shoulder from an op to remove cancer. BUT little did i know my husband was about to dump me :P so i had them leave the marital stuff off :P
    i should have know when he had come home with his new tattoo with his kids names on and not mine :/

    anyway... ill post a pic of mine in my profile ..ive had more roses and lace extended down my arm and over my shoulder sice these photos
  • Everyone has a right to their opinion. I mean, we have our opinions, right? Does it make them right....does it make them wrong? No. I personally DGAF, what people do as long as it doesn't interfere with me. As far as tattoos go, I like them. I have several. I have 3 on my left foot, one one each hip bone, and a massive back piece.... I mean it takes up my entire back.

    I have 7 can cover all but one, as its on my hand to descise a scar (which didnt turn out as I hoped)
    I want more but much is when on the face head etc.

    Aggressive tatts are also a no no, ie I have a freind tattooed on the neck and hands and it looks lovely on her but ive another freind tattoos same kind of place but look awful as it they have chosen the aggressive nature of ink.

    I personally love tattoos, and have loads. I am booked in to start my second sleeve in February.
    As long as you aren't deliberately offensive with your choice of tattoo, then I dont see any problems with them, it is all just personal choice. Any decent tattoo artist worth a dime will refuse to do anything that is deliberately offensive. But then again you will have idiot artists who will give those types of tattoos to idiot people.
    Just a shame in some circumstances it is deemed inappropriate to have them on show, I know it doesn't make me any less professional than someone who doesn't have any ink. In fact it makes me a little bit more awesome :-p

  • I think if they are done tastefully, by a fantastic artist you can't have too many. If it weren't for my very conservative work environment I'd have full sleeves already.

    I have six but one covers my entire leg from my toes to just under my knee...so does that count as only one? One on my upper arm will eventually become at least a 1/2 sleeve. I also have one on each wrist, one on my other shin and one my shoulder. To me they are a road map of my history. Love each of them to pieces.

    There is no such thing as too many tattoos!!!!
    I have 9 tattoos and 27 piercings.

    Is there such a thing as too many piercings? I think not!!!!!

    As the OP .. I will add this last comment.

    Freedom of expression is an amazing thing... the ability to show ones self in countless forms is a gift that we cannot overlook.


    However .. when you abuse that to shove your thoughts or opinions on someone else.. that is where I think you have stepped over the line and have taken your freedom and used it to restrict someone elses... (ie: hateful or hurtful tattoos)

    I personally think our opinion of too many is subjective.. to each their own..

    ** Just not the face.. please .. **:sick:











    Yes.. feel free to post your amazing art that you've tattooed on yourself here. I think we'd all enjoy showing off our work ... Lets see whatcha got
