Tatto Crazy?

I'm curious, I have five tattoos, and planning on starting a koi sleeve Tuesday (Lorne Morris @ Rock-A-Billy Tattoo)... and I seem to be told i'm crazy, I have enough tattoos, why do I want so many, etc... have any of you gotten such flak from your family and friends? There was a funny icon I saw, that the differene between people with tattoos, and people without... people with tattoos don't care if you don't have any.

To me that isnt alot of work, given after you have your sleeve you will have some work 5 tattoos does not seem like alot to me and after you start getting heavily tattooed you kinda stop counting the tattoos and start counting the hours. I have around 70, 2 sleeves, chestpiece, and hell alot all over. Getting heavily tattooed is what got me interested and made me an accomplished artist. Just be prepared to be looked at differently by the older generations, its not as bad as it was 5 years ago, but in some towns they still look at me like a circus freak and I dont have a purple mo hawk, with eye liner on, not that there is anything wrong with that. You only have a body once why not decorate it? I would stick to a theme with any sleeve although I do have a collage sleeve and a themed one, they are equally good but the collage meens the most to me. Hope that helps.
