Just as the title says really. I’ve just turned 34 and just had tattoo 15 with #16 booked in for next week.

To look at me you can see one when I’m wearing trousers and a tshirt. I have my back, side, sternum and tummy tattoo’d. The rest are on my legs.

Suddenly just found the love of tattoos and have had most of them within the past year. 4 within the last 6 weeks 🙈

Wrist, shoulder, feet. All can be hidden when at work as it’s not always accepted in my role

stardust18 · 12/11/2017 19:59

I'm 36 and I have none. I'm a whimp. I do like them on other people tho.Smile

Neverexpected2 · 12/11/2017 20:15

41 and proud owner of 5. Only 1 on show in normal every day wear but can be covered if I choose

allegretto · 12/11/2017 20:16

None. I couldn't imagine every being sure enough about what to get to have one done.

I'm 37, some are naff choices from my youth- from the flash on the tattooists wall, but some I'm proud of as well

One. Worst thing I ever did. I hate it.

CremeFresh · 12/11/2017 20:26

I have two. One on my hip and one on my side just below my boobs.

dustarr73 · 13/11/2017 17:10

16 or thereabouts.Nearly a full sleeve, back of neck, shoulder, thighs, both legs.Small Woodstock on my other at.

Few crap ones from when I didn't know better.

0 thankfully. I have a reoccurring nightmare about having a tattoo and regretting it to the point that I wake up in a cold sweat. Honestly I think they mostly look shit but my friend has the most amazing tattoos that she gets done in Berlin. The man is a true artist and he has a waiting list of a year x

Leslieknope123 · 16/11/2017 17:42

I'm in my late 20s and have 15 tattoos. Looking forward to no.longer breast feeding and being able to get more x

ShatnersBassoon · 16/11/2017 17:47

None. They weren't fashionable when I was young and carefree enough.

cabininthewoods2016 · 16/11/2017 18:57

I have 5 and can't wait to add #6 next year.

selfishcrab · 16/11/2017 19:01

I'm 50 and the oldest one of my tattoo's is 30!
I have a half sleeve, a cuff, back and on my foot.
Happy with all of them and thinking about the next.

Dragonglass · 21/11/2017 20:09

I have 7. Wrist, hip, lower back, thigh, both ankles and side boob.

I got my first 6 years ago, at the age of 36 and got hooked!

FindoGask · 23/11/2017 16:02

I've got a backpiece that goes from the top of my shoulders right down over my bum, one full sleeve, several tattoos on the other arm, and all the way down the outside of one leg tattooed. In terms of separate tattoos probably only 7 or 8 or something, but in terms of coverage maybe 30-40% of my body is covered?

I would love to get my other leg tattooed but can't afford the £££.

Mum4Fergus · 29/11/2017 12:16

Used to be 4 but had 2 covered over with one full back piece, so down to 3 now I guess Smile but will be back up to 4 early in new year as having wedding ring tattooed 💞

Witchofthenorth · 05/12/2017 07:50

I have 7, although one of those is being incorporated into a full sleeve. All but one has been done since my marriage failed 4 years ago!! Love them all and speak so much about me.

carolhere · 09/12/2017 14:42

OMG. would love to have one but so afraid it would hurt.Blush

MrsFoxPlus4 · 09/12/2017 14:44

One full sleeve and hand/fingers, started another, ribs, thigh, feet.

Don’t think I’d look this way if I didn’t have my own buisness.

Kraggle · 09/12/2017 15:15

One on my foot, one on my wrist, one on the back of my neck and my latest addition a few weeks ago my inner forearm wrist to elbow crook and I love it!

TheQueenOfWands · 09/12/2017 15:18

About 20. Kind of lost count.

Not had any for a few years though.

overnightangel · 09/12/2017 15:20

None.
And as I’m 36 in a few weeks if I do get one now it’ll look like an early mid life crisis 😂

CougheeBean · 09/12/2017 15:31

4, mid twenties. First one at 13 (Blush) waited about 3-4 years between each one. They’re easily covered and I’m pretty sure I won’t get more, love them though!
