When I see tattoos like that on an otherwise serviceable woman I like to think they are faux tattoos. But probably not. Is there some limit to the amount of ink you can carry in your skin before it becomes unhealthy? I realize that tattoos are often part of a self-mutilation behavior which is linked to some serious psychiatric and behavioral problems, but is there an “ink load” limit that has been determined?
“otherwise serviceable woman”
Wow, what a disgusting choice of words.
Yes, there has: More than 9 square inch of exposed tatooed skin, and you're officially "bonkers."
Tatoos of anchors, regimental insignia, etc. on the forearms of military men excepted.
