a curious Q

8 messages · last activity 9/21/2006

i've mulled this Q around to my bare skin (mostly) friends, now i'd like to ask y'all...what do you consider *heavily tattooed*?? just curious
Hmmm, sleeves? maybe a coupla half sleeves?
i guess heavily tattooed would be where more of you is tattooed than isn't.
I always thought of it as large visible tattoos. Although I have a large tattoo, it isn't visible, and I'm leaning towards never having explicitly visible ones, mostly for matience reasons and a slew of other flaky reasons besides. So to me, I'll never be heavily tattooed because my stuff isn't visible. But that's just me, I'm sure other people have different opinions.
I have half sleeves and a full back piece, and i still don't consider myself "heavily tattooed".... but then, I know some people that are WAYYYYY more covered than me. Your average old lady in a grocery store line will gasp when she sees me in a tank, however, I don't consider it alot... I still have WAY more bare skin than tattoo, but then, i am a biiiig girl, I have lotsa skin to cover:)
Hmmmm...it's one of those "How long is a piece of string?" questions isn't it. To an untattooed person: anything more than a coupla tags, to a person with a few hours it's someone with a sleeve etc etc until you arrive at the likes of Lizardman.
well, you have to have enough skin left to get enough work done left, otherwise you are mostly tattooed or fully tattooed. I always wonder, once someone has a full body suit....what do they do next?
have you seen this lady? http://www.isobelvarley.com/ heavily tattooed might be a percentage vs. visibility?
