Lighthearted!!

Which person is right?

Person A is tattoo owner and says it’s one single tattoo as it’s of siblings names and was completed in one session.

Person B says they count as two separate small tattoos as there is too much of a gap to be counted as one.

YABU - Person A is correct, it’s one tattoo
YANBU - Person B is correct, it’s two tattoos

2 (IMO.) They are totally separate, even if they were done at the same time, and there are 2 siblings names.

Pixiedust1234 · 27/01/2023 00:42

Two.

If it was one tattoo they would be linked somehow, whether its with a heart, a rose or a swirly line.

It's two tattoos. There's nothing really tying them together other than they're in the same style.

Cornchip · 27/01/2023 00:47

Two tattoos. They’re separate entities that have no physical attachment to each other.

I’ve had two tattoos done over one full day session. They’re right beside each other but absolutely are two separate tattoos. I’ve also had one tattoo with multiple different components (an animal, flowers, leaves) done over two sessions (one full day, one half day) and it is one tattoo. It was just a huge piece that needed extra time to finish.

If I was paying I'd argue 1 tattoo Grin but looks like 2 to me.

RecordsTurning · 27/01/2023 00:56

Two. What names are they?

Love this.

Fully agree.
It is 2 tattoos, imo.

Grin not just me lacking tattoo reading skills then!
Naroey & Jumma?

Nottelling15 · 27/01/2023 01:18

Looks like Harvey and summa? To me

Oh it's definitely 2 tattoos

I have very poor tattoo reading skills aswell.
Slaioeg and Gumuna?

Carlycat · 27/01/2023 01:20

It's 2. And they're incredibly chavvy Grin

steff13 · 27/01/2023 01:27

Harvey and Glenna

Thegreatdebate1 · 27/01/2023 01:38

Here’s a better view. Person A says they’re only 8mm apart like a list, and a list would count as one!

Harvey and Summa? Is Summa a name?

If it had bullet points I might agree, but it doesn't. Two tattoos.

Summa is a variant of the feminine name Suma. Its exact meaning and origin are uncertain. In Latin, Summa means ‘summary’. The name may have come from Italy where it has been used as a locational surname, given to a person from Somma. It may have later then been used as a feminine forename.

Depends really. Is a phrase or song lyrics words classed as one or each one..same day, needle same context 1 ... or 2 because its 2 separate people. Hard one.

RLScott · 27/01/2023 01:56

It’s two of course.

Had it been one person (name and surname) it could have interpreted as one tattoo albeit a very wonky one with a big gap between them.

minou123 · 27/01/2023 01:58

Ah, your 2nd picture is clearer. I can see the names now. Sorry for derailing.

JudgeRinderonTinder · 27/01/2023 02:07

It’s two, clearly. No debate to be had.

Pinball2023 · 27/01/2023 02:07

Same font style and day I would say one. Same as phrase/lyrics etc might be one. How far apart are the names op?

Pyjamageddon · 27/01/2023 02:07

Or it's a 'unique' spelling of Summer which seems more likely.

Two tattoos anyway.

Agapornis · 27/01/2023 02:20

It's not a list. The line spacing between the names is about 4.5! If there was a big '&' between the names in the same style, that might make it 1 tattoo.

Thegreatdebate1 · 27/01/2023 02:44

I’m person B!

Person A vehemently disagrees with me and asked me to post this because as they are so close together they are a list and count as one.

I can’t see it that way at all personally.
