I started with my first tattoo 8 years ago, when I was 28. I have always liked tattoos but delayed getting one until I could decide what to get, and where.
I now have 6, including an arm piece, arm band, front shoulder blade, neck, tail bone and inner ankle....
I find tattoos addictive. I am always planning a new one, or adding onto one. My husband also has 6, both of his arms are basically covered, along with small neck piece and calf piece.
Reaction from strangers ranges from the "ooh, ahh, how cool" to the dirty looks and avoidance. I could care less either way. I realise that it is unusual for a female to have as many as I do and I try to be patient. It does get annoying when people seem to think that because I have large artwork that I am open to being approached and having lengthy conversations with when I am out buying milk!!!
