I don't know how you guys feel about this but for me, I think enough is enough (适可而止). Anything overdone will turn from beauty into ugly. I have no problem with tattoo, the same as when people decorating their cars. However, (to me) you only need to tattoo a small part of your body and leave most part as natural. The small part decoration will add up beauty to your body.
