How many tattoos do you have?
Do you have a target/limit number before you decide that you're done getting inked?
Also, how do people react to them, and is there still any negative feelings towards tattoos?

I have 2 - Isaiah 53 5 in Hebrew on my shoulder. And also my Chinese name in Ancient Chinese on my upper spine..
You are the second person I’ve met whose Chinese name is “dumbass”, small world
Totally kidding, although I’d make sure you have someone you trust verify any tattoos in foreign languages if you I were you (guessing you did), seen some mistakes before.
I started studying Chinese in 2004 and went to Beijing through Columbia in 2005. My Chinese teacher gave me this name. I had this name etched into a marble stamp in Ancient Chinese in 2005 in Beijing and then after 5 years decided to get it inked on me in red in 2010. So it was a well researched decision to get the ink.
That's awesome. I took Japanese in college and my Japanese name is basically the same as my English name. Never thought about getting a tattoo like that, but I could see why someone would tattoo Chinese characters. Really loved learning to write kanji and generally find Chinese writing very beautiful. I think Tibetan writing is really interesting, too. Cool that it's written vertically, it makes the script look really unique.
14, but you would never know I had even one in workplace attire
Have a half sleeve on upper right arm and a "quarter sleeve" on the top half of the left arm. No one knows since I simply keep my sleeves buttoned up throughout the day. But if I wear a really thin fabric shirt than you can see the outlines hence I avoid those.
What’s the story behind your tattoos ?
the half sleeve is a bit of a mashup of things I view that made me who I am today - NYC, some religious symbols, heritage/ethnic symbols, and a quote that I always try to remember.
The quarter sleeve was a dumb first tattoo (flames) that I am working on improving so that it continues what I have on the half sleeve.
Drop the bombs A2D: None. I can't fathom the idea of having foreign objects in or on my body. If you do, doesn't make you somehow undesirable, but I will never do that to myself.
In the twist of this one, look at some of the Suicide Girls type or some of the Japanese Geisha women. Say what you will, but I actually find it a turn on and not in the "just to piss off your parents bringing her to Easter dinner" sense.
Small tattoos mean she’s a thot. Full tattoos like what your referencing means she’s absolutely insane (which can be good depending on what your goal is).
I mean there’s some girls I know that have tattoos and they are very attractive.
I don't have tattoos and I don't really feel good about them. I don't know why, but when I look at my neighbor who is 70 years old and see a tattoo on her body. I always want to walk up to her and ask her: didn't you know what was going to happen to that tattoo at your age? You just have to see it.
google horiyoshi III. it's not about the age, it's the quality of the art. high quality ink with a high quality artist with a well thought out design can be beautiful and lasting
for me, I've got a half sleeve and my ribs covered. if I think of enough designs I love, I'll have a full sleeve and may get some leg and chest pieces, TBD. my wife said she wants one side clean so I've gotta respect that, but I love ink and it's never been an issue professionally
Thinking of getting a sleeve just need the perfect design.
Definitely was an alt boy in high school with the whole tattoo vibe, earrings, and even a nose stud for awhile. Took ear and nose piercings out like sophomore year in college, still occasionally rock an earring when I go out.
Haven’t gotten anything tattoo wise in 3 years but have a half sleeve up over my shoulder and a few smaller ones on chest/ribs. Longer sleeve polos cover about 95% of it so people usually don’t notice.
Will probably get a few more for fun while I’m under 30 still. The tat style is all black ink american traditional with various latin/hebrew phrases.
Are girls into it? I’m asking because they all seem to like the same type: tall, blonde, rower/lacrosse kinda guy. Feel like they don’t give many opportunities to dudes with tattoos, mullets or piercings.
Well if your social circle is UMC sorority girls, it’s unsurprising they will gravitate towards the Frat bro. Just look at the comments above making sweeping generalizations on girls with tattoos coming from UMC guys. People tend to date those who they are most similar to .”Opposites attract” doesn’t hold for social class or social norms.
This is a rather long winded way of saying if you are a guy with tattoos/ and or piercings, your best luck is with girls who have multiple piercings and tattoos.
ur going for the wrong types of girls brotha
I currently have a full sleeve/shoulder piece down my right arm. It's comprised of 6 larger designs that are connected together by some smaller geometric lines.
I always told myself it would stop after I finished my sleeve, but now the ribs are looking tempting...
How long did your sleeve take ?
In total it was roughly 32 hours over the course of two years. Pretty much did 4 8-hour sessions.
The answer to OP's question is always "one less than I currently want."
How many tattoos do you currently have?
Full sleeve, a few on my back, chest, ribs, a few on each leg, one by one of my ankles. Will probably do the other sleeve next.
my man
please tell me "every day we stray further from God" is inked somewhere on your body
Lmao no, but you definitely just gave me an idea
